      abstract = {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.},
