The Asian economic collapse that began in Thailand in July 1997 has
prompted two prominent responses, utterly different and utterly predictable. One is that "the West knows best," but that the westernization
has not gone far enough.
Others insist that the wholesale consumption of foreign funds and value systems led to greed, blindness, and a breakdown in the moral balance
and social control Asian societies thrive on.
This book explores what these and many other issues mean from a Thai point of view. Newcomers and tourists will encounter nuggets of information
and insight that may help make their stay more interesting and enjoyable. Others may benefit from explanations of Thai behavior and attitudes
that constantly baffle them. People who have never come to Thailand might still want to know how it feels to have a wholly different outlook on life.
