Thammika Songkaeo
Thammika Songkaeo is a Thai-born novelist, essayist, and filmmaker whose work cuts into motherhood, marriage, and the cost of selfhood with what Elle Singapore calls “razor-sharp precision.” A lifelong globetrotter, she writes from a third-culture lens that sees both inside and out. Her debut novel Stamford Hospital (2025) was named by Prestige among the 10 must-reads for International Women’s Day 2025, alongside Margaret Atwood and Simone de Beauvoir. A Bread Loaf scholar, National Geographic Storytelling grantee, and trained dancer, Songkaeo blends movement, literature, and silence to explore the hidden layers of the human psyche.
