Used Book in Good Condition
I really like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Thailands-Political-History-Century-Recent/dp/9749863968/ref=tmm_pap_title_0
It's a bit dry in some areas, contradicts the standard Thai "We're militarily awesome, especially against Burma," but drives home how ridiculously lucky/skilled Thais have been with diplomacy. Takes a lot of the myths out and replaces them with more realistic scenarios.
I'd recommend "Thailand's Political History: From the 13th Century to Recent Times" by B. J. Terwiel. I really enjoyed it -- it's a solid page turner. I picked it up on my first visit and has done wonders for furthering my understanding of the country.
Hi, well, yes, you guessed well. I read Thailand's Political History: From the 13th Century to Recent Times recently and liked a lot. I've read others as Andrew McGregor Marshall or Paul M. Handley's The King Never Smiles.
I just wondered if you had a book that could recommend to someone who doesn't know anything about Thailand.
