Book Description
Excerpt from Five Years in Siam, From 1891 to 1896, Vol. 1 OF Siam and the Siamese much has of late been written. The subject, however, cannot be said to have been ex baustad. Though not a few books, quite a number of papers, ' and innumerable press articles, dealing with the King, the country, or its people, are in existence, it is yet a fact that the inquirer can light on no authority of recent date from which to obtain reliable information dealing with either in an extensive or general manner. Such modern books as are to be found are, with few excep tions, accounts of travel, written after a superficial glance at the subjects they deal with by persons new to their surroundings. The papers and press notices are mostly devoted to some one subject, or some particular question, and, though often written by men who knew what they were writing about, as a source of information they are scrappy as well as dificult to obtain.

A History of Thailand

Pages : 405
Book Description
Since it was first published in 2005, A History of Thailand has been hailed as an authoritative, lively and readable account of Thailand's political, economic, social and cultural history. From the early settlements in the Chao Phraya basin to today, Baker and Phongpaichit trace how a world of mandarin nobles and unfree peasants was transformed by colonialism, the expansion of the rice frontier and the immigration of traders and labourers from southern China. This book examines how the monarchy managed the foundation of a new nation‐state at the end of the nineteenth century, and how urban nationalists, ambitious generals, communist rebels and business politicians competed to take control through the twentieth century. It tracks Thailand's economic changes, globalisation and the evolution of mass society, and draws on popular culture to dramatize social trends. This edition contains a new chapter on Thailand's turbulent politics since 2006 and incorporates new sources and research throughout.
