Thai Touch by Richard Rubacher (Author)
I 've been living in Thailand for ten years. Thai Touch opened my eyes to people, events and happenings. I now have a totally different way of viewing the kingdom. Who but Richard Rubacher would think of ordering a cup of coffee and asking the Bangkok waitress, in Thai, that no fish sauce be put into it? --Dale Metcalf, Esq., former attorney for Bobby Fisher Lewis Carroll told us about Wonderland. In this collection of ironic tales, Rubacher tells us of another Wonderland. The magic of Thailand is captured again and again. --Ian Quartermaine, Sleepless In Bangkok

Thai Women In The Global Labor Force: Consuming Desires, Contested Selves by Mary Beth Mills
M ost research on the female labor force in Thailand focuses on that country's infamous sex industry. Mary Beth Mills offers the first extended ethnographic analysis of less visible occupations, paying particular attention to the hundreds of thousands of young rural women who migrate to Bangkok to fill the factories and sweatshops of the metropolis. She sees this rural-urban migration as an elaborate process of cultural change, with broad implications for the future of the labor force.

Conversational Thai: Learn to Speak and Understand Thai with Pimsleur Language Programs (Simon & Schuster's Pimsleur) [AUDIOBOOK] (Audio CD) by Pimsleur (Author)
he Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Thai structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Thai can actually be enjoyable and rewarding. The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only these pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts.

A History of Thailand (Paperback) by Chris Baker (Author), Pasuk Phongpaichit (Author)
I n A History of Thailand, Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit reveal how a world of mandarin nobles and unfree labour evolved into a rural society of smallholder peasants and an urban society populated mainly by migrants from southern China. They trace how a Buddhist cosmography adapted to new ideas of time and space, and a traditional polity was transformed into a new nation-state under a strengthened monarchy.
