Thailand has always been a peaceful, prosperous nation and one of the most favoured tourist destinations in Southeast Asia. Indeed, Thailand has been one of a few countries to recover from the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-1998 and continued to show positive economic growth in recent years. This book will help to understand the causes of Thailand's crises and provides enlightening answers to these questions. With outstanding contributions from experts and a reader-friendly structure, this book is a most timely, comprehensive and insightful reading for anyone who is interested in the politics of Thailand.
