Thailand is often called the "Land of Smiles", a nickname, which sounds pleasant and mysterious. This is a work on Thai society.

Explores how urban Southeast Asians view and manage their social life. By comparing the ways they live with their religious representations, with intimate and more distant others, and with their rapidly changing environment, the author demonstrates the marked similarities in the perception of individual and society in three civilisations.
