This book draws on the thought of Baudrillard to explore the
effects of globalisation and tourism in a Thai context. Arguing
that tourism does not necessarily erode local culture but that
local culture can in fact be recreated through globalisation and
tourism, the author employs studies of the Damnoen Saduk and
Pattaya floating markets, showing them to be simulations of Thai
culture that undergo changes of form, cultural content and
activity, through various stages of representation. With a focus on
the themes of the circulation of value and signs, the play of
differences and orders of simulacra, this volume examines the
extent to which Baudrillard's theory can apply in a non-western
context and in relation to tourism. A study of consumption, tourism
and the relations between the global and the local, Globalisation,
Tourism and Simulacra will appeal to scholars of sociology and
geography with interests tourism, globalisation and social theory.
