Apart from being an author Prince Chula is also well-known as a broadcaster, television personality, and lecturer. Before the war he used to own and manage the racing cars which were driven by his cousin, Prince Bira, but after the war became more and more absorbed in his writing, and his books have been enthusiastically received by Press and Public alike.
His life has been full of incident and interest, and his travels have been many and varied. In this book he gives a glowing, absorbingly readable account of his journeys throughout the world. The author has a modern and understanding outlook, and in a letter outlining- the book he writes: "My idea of the book is that these travels can mostly be done by anyone with initiative and cash, but they are made just that much easier and more colourful because I happen to be a prince."
FIRST CLASS TICKET is an ideal book, both for the readers interested in biography and also the armchair travellers; indeed it is probable that Prince Chula's book will be regarded as the outstanding travel book of the year.
