He served in the British Consular Service in Siam from 1908 to 1922, and from 1922 to 1933 be was Economic Adviser to the Thai Government. For twenty- five years he lived and worked in Siam, as well as during his long and fruitful retirement. Dr. Le May's publications, from 1920 to 1954, varied from specialised monographs to more general popular works. Starting in 1920, with the assistance of two other members of the Siam Philatelic Society, Le May published The Standard Catalogue of Thai Stamps . In 1925, his own collection of Thai stamps was prepared for the National Exhibition of 1926. When this was cancelled owing to the death of King Rama VI of Siam, the collection was presented to the National Museum and Library, where it can still be seen today. In 1926, Le May's first book on Siam appeared, titled An Asian Arcady, (An Account of Northern Siam), a description of his 5-month, 700-mile long journey from Chiang Mai-Lampang through Phrae and Nan- Lampang, dedicated to H.R.H.

In 1934, LeMay retired from Thai Government service and went up as a research student to Pembroke College, Cambridge. He spent the following three years writing his magnum opus on Buddhist Art in Siam, which gained for him the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and was published by the Cambridge University Press. It has since been reprinted twice by Tuttle of Vermont and Tokyo, and is still on sale. Finally, to crown his work, in 1954, Allen & Unwin published The Culture of South-East Asia, which has had three editions in England, a special one for India, and another edition in the German language. Reginald Le May's affection for Thailand and the Thai people was great; to the last days of his life, he called Siam "the country of my adoption." Reginald Le May died at the age of 87.
