This volume examines contemporary Thailand. It captures aspects of
Thai society that have changed dramatically over the past years and
that have turned Thailand into a society that is different from what
most people outside the country know and expect. The social transition
of Thailand has been marked by economic growth, population
restructuring, social and cultural development, political movements,
and many reforms including the national health care system. The book
covers the social, cultural, and economic changes as well as political
situations. It discusses both historical contexts and emerging issues.
It includes chapters on social and public health concerns, and on
ethnicity, gender, sexuality and social class. Most chapters use
information from empirical-based and historical research. They
describe real life experiences of the contributors and Thai people who
participated in the research.
