More Thai Ways by Denis Segaller
PageRank 0

A sequel to Dennis Segaller's best-selling Thai Ways. The book is a collection of the latest and most memorable articles from the author's column in the former Bangkok World. It covers a host of subjects from royalty, ceremonies, customs, Thai language, legends to fruits and animals, shedding light on the fascinating way of life of the Thai people.

From the introduction:
Many Thai traditions and customs are very different from those of other countries, especially of the West, a fact which makes them of great interest to non-Thais, and Westerners in particular. Yet if one digs a bit deeper, often enough one finds that the differences are not as great as they appear on the surface; all of us, non-Thais and Thais alike, are very much the same human beings under the skin.
