Book excerpt: Throughout its history Siam and then later Thailand has shown remarkable resiliency, adaptability, and creativity in responding to serious threats and crises. This augurs well for Thailand’s capacity to deal with the serious problems described above and to flourish in the areas in which it has great potential and comparative advantage, such as food exports (“kitchen of the world”); diverse genres of tourism; health and wellness management; creative design; alternative energy sources (great potential of solar energy and e-vehicles); regional transportation hub (both rail and air); export growth and diversification; an attractive site for MICE; and as an international education hub. Thailand clearly has the potential to become one of the most distinct, vibrant, creative, and diverse societies of the dynamic Asia-Pacific region. Historical Dictionary of Thailand, Fourth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Thailand.
