How do you stay connected to family members who are halfway around the world? It's a question that Pete Dulin explores in a series of essays called Travels in Thailand: Explorations of Family, Food, Heritage and Culture. Dulin grew up in Kansas City - his father is American and his mother is Thai. He told KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross that the first time he visited Thailand he was only 2 years old.

Pete Dulin is editor and co-publisher of PresentMagazine, where his writing and photos about his journeys to Thailand are published:
Thailand Revisited
Sawatdee: Travels in Thailand - Part 1
Sawatdee: Travels in Thailand - Part 2
