Smith, and published in 2013, is a comprehensive reference that explores Thailand’s rich history, culture, and politics.

The dictionary includes detailed sections on Thailand’s monarchy, economic development, and its rise as a major tourist destination, often described as “instant Asia” for visitors. Additionally, it offers a chronology of significant historical events, appendices, and an extensive bibliography, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and those with a keen interest in Southeast Asia.
