Thailand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It is
known as ""the land of smiles,"" where the people extol a charm and
grace that is unmatched. These elements serve to beckon visitors
who want to explore this incredible land and its people. Thailand
has developed its economy at a surprising pace in the last decades
of the 20th century and the dawn of the 21st. Even with the Asian
financial crisis, Thailand's economy has recovered and continues to
step forward. And accompanying this economic surge has been the
implementation of a new constitution. However, Thailand also faces
major challenges. Prostitution, drugs, and HIV/AIDS are significant
social issues, along with rebuilding efforts in the wake of the
devastating 2004 tsunami. Environmental problems include
deforestation, and water and air pollution. Will the civilian
governments be able to address these issues as well as the rise of
Islamic militants and separatists in the south of the country?
""Thailand"" is a thoroughly researched, crisply designed book that
investigates these issues, as well as the tantalizing physical,
cultural, and social features of this emerging nation.
