About this product

Product Information

Reveals a country of progress and potential, mystery and exoticism, openness and friendliness Thailand is rapidly industrializing, dramatically improving the living standards of its people and gradually developing a more democratic society. Despite such profound changes, traditional Thai culture has not only survived, but in many respects has prospered. Culture and Customs of Thailand presents the traditional culture and customs against the backdrop of modern times. Although famous for its food, and despite its increasing popularity as a tourist destination, Thailand remains relatively unknown to most Westerners. This reference work is the best source for students and the general reader to gain substantial, sweeping insight into the Thais and their land of smiles. Thailand has always been an important Southeast Asian country. It is the only one in the region to have never been colonized by a Western power and has avoided bloody revolutions and wars, with a long-reigning monarchy. It was the first Asian country to establish diplomatic relations with the United States, and has remained a constant ally. It has emerged as a considerable economic force as the world's largest rice and rubber producer and remains a regional political power. Against this historical framework, Kislenko deftly introduces the strands of traditional and modern in the dominant Buddhist faith and other religions, including animism; literature; the arts; architecture, including the Thai Wat, food and dress; gender and marriage; festivals and fun; and social customs. He also balances the portrait with discussions of threats from globalization, AIDS and sex tourism, the drug trade, and corruption in business and government. Evocative photos, a country map, a timeline, and a chronology complete the coverage. Part of the Culture and Customs of Asia series Good, accessible treatment by an expert author
