Culture and customs of Thailand[electronic resource] /Arne Kislenko. - Westport, Conn. :Greenwood Press,2004. - xxviii, 192 p. :ill., map ;25 cm. - Culture and customs of Asia,1097-0738.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [179]-185) and index.

Thought and religion -- Literature -- Theatre, dance, music, and film -- Art -- Architecture and design -- Cuisine and traditional dress -- Gender, courtship, and marriage -- Festivals and fun -- Social customs.

Thailand is revealed as a country of progress and potential, mystery and exoticism, and 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 has also, in many respects, prospered. Although famous for its food, and despite its increasing popularity as a tourist destination, Thailand remains relatively unknown to most Westerners. Culture and Customs of Thailand presents the traditional culture and customs against the backdrop of modern times.
