Description

This study analyzes Thailand's recent development with up-to-date research, including the most recent political events there. The authors conducted many interviews, culminating with an audience with King Bumiphol. The book includes a who's who of the main characters and a glossary of Thai words and names used in the book. All the major factors contributing to Thailand's success are covered: the good fortune of avoiding colonization, the effect of Buddhism, a natural balance of political forces, and the development of sound economic policies. The Thai national character, and the problems the country faces - environmemtal damage, income inequality, and the spread of AIDS - are also considered. Dick Wilson has also written "Hong Kong! Hong Kong!".
