Book Description
Millions of Burmese women migrate into Thailand each year to form the basis of the Thai agricultural and manufacturing workforce. Un-documented and unregulated, this army of migrant workers constitutes the ultimate 'disposable' labour force, enduring gruelling working conditions and much aggression from the Thai police and immigration authorities. This insightful book ventures into a part of the global economy rarely witnessed by Western observers. Based on unique empirical research, it provides the reader with a gendered account of the role of women migrant workers in Thailand's factories and interrogates the ways in which they manage their families and their futures.

Book Description
This edited volume, including contributions from some of the leading scholars in the field, addresses the challenges, obstacles and opportunities for increased women's political representation in Thailand. Will Thai politics be different with an increase in the number of women politicians? What are the possibilities for Thai women to take proactive initiatives that aim to transform Thai politics into being more gender aware and equal? In seeking to address these and related issues, the analysis brings together a complex interplay of factors, such as traditional Thai views of gender and politics; the national and local political context of the new Thai constitution of 1997; and recent experiences of selected women politicians in the legislative and executive branches of Thai government.

Book Description
Thai women are special. If you don't believe this, please explain to me why men come to Thailand from all over the world to enjoy Thai women and possibly take them home with them. I suggest it's a combination of how Thai culture is reflected in their character ... and how well put together they are. Laos, Cambodia and Indonesia are all SE Asian countries full of available and attractive women who are looking for someone to help them move toward a better life. But it's Thailand that gets all the action. Thai culture somehow turns out women with a strong appeal to foreign men. This book is intended to help a foreign man better understand something of the worldview of most Thai women. I have known a Thai woman for four years and been married to her for three. She has six sisters. All seven women have different personalities but all seven share some Thai-ness. It would be a mistake to imagine that everything I mention in this book applies to all Thai women. My wife's family and her large group of women friends are all middle to upper class. It's very possible they represent a set of values that is much different than those of a bar girl in Bangkok hawking 500 baht happy endings. I hope reading this book will suggest to you how a middle to upper class Thai woman looks at the world ... and at you. Most importantly, I will try to convey to you what Thai women are looking for, and not looking for, in a man. Thai culture and what it instills in Thai women is not for everyone. I have tried to present some appealing and some not so appealing aspects of Thai women. I have gone into some of these issues in other books I''ve written about Thai culture. I hope if you like this book, you will also try "Nine Reasons Why An Old American Man Should Move To Thailand." Thailand can be an amazing adventure for some men. Thai women are a big part of that adventure. I hope this book will help you in deciding if these adventures are a good fit with your needs.

Book Description
A vibrant, growing, and highly visible set of female identities has emerged in Thailand known as tom and dee. A "tom" (from "tomboy") refers to a masculine woman who is sexually involved with a feminine partner, or "dee" (from "lady"). The patterning of female same-sex relationships into masculine and feminine pairs, coupled with the use of English derived terms to refer to them, is found throughout East and Southeast Asia. Have the forces of capitalism facilitated the dissemination of Western-style gay and lesbian identities throughout the developing world as some theories of transnationalism suggest? Is the emergence of toms and dees over the past twenty-five years a sign that this has occurred in Thailand? Megan Sinnott engages these issues by examining the local culture and historical context of female same-sex eroticism and female masculinity in Thailand. Drawing on a broad spectrum of anthropological literature, Sinnott situates Thai tom and dee subculture within the global trend of increasingly hybridized sexual and gender identities.

Book Description
During the early decades of the twentieth century, Thailand's capital, Bangkok, took on an increasingly cosmopolitan character-a development fueled both by global economic forces and a local revolution in communications. The 1920s were a particularly dynamic period of social and cultural transformation that had a profound impact on the development of Thai modernity. This book examines the growth of a polyphonous and often vociferous Thai public, a public that used a range of new media outlets to express themselves and clamor for a more just and equitable social order. Scot Barmé mines a rich lode of previously ignored cultural ephemera found in popular newspapers, magazines, novels, short stories, film booklets, and cartoons to create a vibrant cultural history of early modern Thailand that moves beyond conventional, elite-based historical studies of the period. By focusing on such controversies and conflicts as the status of women, relations between the sexes, class antagonisms, and the growth of a commercial mass culture, this book offers a new interpretation of the key decade of the 1920s and its significance for contemporary Thailand.
