Adventure awaits when two old college friends, Don Kaufman and Mike Burgett, meet up for a month-long sojourn in Thailand. Don is an award-winning professor of zoology from a noted liberal arts college in the Midwest; Mike is an acclaimed entomologist whose research takes him to the opium fields of northern Thailand for several months each year. Their shared experiences in the Land of Smiles are the basis for The Monkey Brothers Adventures in Thailand, a tale of travel, discovery, and friendship.  A native of Edinboro, Pennsylvania, Michael Burgett is a professor emeritus at Oregon State University. Each spring semester, Mike teaches an honors course at OSU; he spends several months each year at Chiang Mai University in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where he conducts basic and applied research on multiple species of bees. He is also an avid outdoorsman and enjoys hiking and fishing throughout the Pacific Northwest. Mike and his wife, Janice, reside in Corvallis, Oregon.
