The definitive guide to Thailand, providing a comprehensive,
beyond-the-basics overview of the country, its history, society,
culture, language, and economy. Unique among Southeast Asian
nations, Thailand has never been colonized by a European power. In
fact, Thai means to be free. While Thailand welcomes foreign
investment and has not been untouched by Western influence, Thai
traditions, identity, consciousness, and pride remain vibrant and
strong. What is modern Thailand like today? Thailand: A Global
Studies Handbook offers important insight into the nation's
history, culture, politics, fine arts, religion, and language. It
sheds light on many often little understood facets of everyday Thai
life and customs. The work covers a historical period of 800 years,
documenting pivotal events and personalities, and presents an
overview of the Thai economy, with a focus on the economic crisis
of the 1990s and recent developments. Thai society is examined in
detail, including education and the monarchy, the roles of
religion, the effects of Westernization, home and family life, and
current social issues. Specifically designed for general readers,
students, and businesspeople, this book is a must-read when seeking
an in-depth yet straightforward introduction to Thailand.
