Sponsored by Tilleke & Gibbins, Americans in Thailand, a fascinating account of Americans’ impact on Thailand over the past two centuries, has been published by Editions Didier Millet. From delving into an American’s role in Thailand’s first-ever surgery, to a graduate student who unwittingly discovered an ancient civilization, to the Lyman family’s influential contributions to charity and the country’s legal market, this book illustrates in a manner both profound and surprising the impression left by American people on Thailand in the following periods of time:

• Pioneering Americans (1818-1851)
• Divided Americans (1851-1868)
• Distinguished Americans (1868-1945)
• Quiet Americans (1945-1957)
• Armed Americans (1957-1976)
• Committed Americans (1976-2014)

David Lyman, Chairman and Chief Values Officer of Tilleke & Gibbins, was invited to author the foreword for the book.
