Hodges (1999, p. 3): "The Luang Prasoet Chronicle (LPC), as it is now known, was written 226 years before, in 1681, by Siam's Chief Royal Astrologer (the Phra Horathibodi) at the behest of King Narai (r. 1656–1688)."
Hodges (1999, p. 33): "Its lack of narrative continuity, however, means that the LPC is of little practical value for a historian trying to develop a picture of the Thai past."
