Por Intharapalit (Thai: ป. อินทรปาลิต) was the pen name of Pricha Intharapalit (Thai: ปรีชา อินทรปาลิต; 12 May 1910 – 25 September 1968), a Thai humorist and writer. Among his works was the Samgler (Thai: สามเกลอ, lit. 'three chums') series of comic short stories, of which he wrote nearly 2,000.[1] He also wrote a novelisation of the battle of Bang Rajan. These works have been cited by Thai scholars among the 100 books that must be read by Thais.[2]
The first book in the Samgler series, Ai Phuying (Thai: อายผู้หญิง; lit. 'shy around women'), was written in 1938, and it became an instant best-seller, selling 20,000 copies in its first week. The stories are about three playboy friends and their families.
The stories are viewed by historians and literary experts as a glimpse of Bangkok society from 1938 to 1968, because they mention the real-life restaurants, nightclubs and celebrities who were popular at the time.[1]
