Wikipedia
The Kingdom of Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia, bordering Laos and Cambodia to the east, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to the south, and the Andaman Sea and Myanmar to the west. Thailand is also known as Siam, which was the country's official name until May 11, 1949. The word ''Thai'' (ไทย) means "freedom" in the Thai language. It is also the name of the Thai ethnic groups Thai people - leading some inhabitants, particularly the sizeable Chinese minority, to continue to use the name ''Siam''.
History - mainHistory of Thailand Thailand's origin is traditionally tied to the short-lived kingdom of Sukhothai kingdomSukhothai founded in 1238, after which the larger kingdom of Ayutthaya kingdomAyutthaya was established in the mid-14th century. Thai culture was greatly influenced by both China and India. Contact with various European powers began in the 16th century but, despite continued pressure, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power, though Western influence, including the threat of force, led to many reforms in the 19th century and major concessions to British mercantile interests (as such many historians include Thailand in the "informal British Empire"). The Thais are very proud that they were never colonized by a European power. There are two main reasons for this: Europeans left it as a buffer state between French Indochina and India and Thailand had a series of very able rulers in the 1800s.A mostly bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. Known previously as ''Siam'', the country first changed its name to Thailand in 1939, and definitively in 1949 after reverting to the old name post-World War II. During that conflict Thailand was in a loose alliance with Japan; following its conclusion Thailand became an ally of the United States. Thailand then saw a series of military coup d'étatcoups d'état, but progressed towards democracy from the 1980s onward.The Thai solar calendarofficial calendar in Thailand is based on the Calendar eraBuddhist Era, which is 543 years ahead of the western calendar. For example, the year AD 2000 is equal to the year 2543 BE.On 26 December 2004 the west coast of Thailand was devastated by a tsunami following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake; in places it was as high as 10 meters. It killed more than 5,000 people in Thailand, half of them tourists.
Politics - mainPolitics of Thailand The List of Kings of Thailandking has little direct power under the constitution but is the anointed protector of Thai Buddhism and a symbol of national identity and unity. The present monarch enjoys a great deal of popular respect and moral authority, which has on occasion been used to resolve political crises. The head of government is the List of Prime Ministers of ThailandPrime Minister, who is appointed by the king from among the members of the lower house of parliament, usually the leader of the party that can organise a majority coalition government.The bicameral Thai parliament is the National Assembly (รัฐสภา, rathasapha) which consists of a House of Representatives !(สภาผู้แทน าษฎร,? sapha phuthaen ratsadon) of 500 seats and a Senate (วุฒิสภา, wuthisapha) of 200 seats. Members of both houses are elected by popular vote. The House of Representatives is elected by electoral district (one each), the Senate is elected by province. Members of House of Representatives serve four-year terms, while Senators serve six-year terms. The law court system (ศาล, san) has three layers, the highest judiciaryjudicial body being the Supreme Court !(ศาลฎ& #3637;กา,? sandika) whose judges are directly appointed by the monarch. Thailand is an active member of the regional Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Provinces - mainProvinces of Thailand Thailand is divided into 76 provinces (จังหวัด, changwat), which are grouped into 5 groups of provinces and Bangkok as capital city. Each province is divided into smaller Amphoedistricts - as of 2000 there are 795 districts (อำเภอ, amphoe), 81 sub-districts (กิ่งอำเภอ, king amphoe) and 50 districts of Bangkok (เขต, khet). However, some parts of the provinces bordering Bangkok are referred to as Bangkok Metropolitan AreaGreater Bangkok (ปริมณฑล, pari monthon). These Provinces include Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon. The name of each capital city (เมือง, mueang) is the same as that of the province: for example, the capital of Chiang Mai province (''changwat Chiang Mai'') is ''amphoe mueang Chiang Mai''. The 75 provinces are as follows:

Geography - mainGeography of Thailand Thailand is home to several distinct geographic regions, partly corresponding to the provincial groups. The north of the country is mountainous, with the highest point being the Doi Inthanon at 2,576 m. The northeast consists of the Khorat Plateau, bordered to the east by the Mekong river. The centre of the country is dominated by the predominantly flat Chao Phraya river valley, which runs into the Gulf of Thailand. The south consists of the narrow Kra Isthmus that widens into the Malay Peninsula.The local climate is tropical and characterised by monsoons. There is a rainy, warm, and cloudy southwest monsoon from mid-May to September, as well as a dry, cool northeast monsoon from November to mid-March. The southern isthmus is always hot and humid. Major cities beside the capital Bangkok include Nakhon Ratchasima, Udon Thani, Nakhon Sawan, Chiang Mai,Surat Thani, Phuket and Hat Yai(Songkhla).See also: List of islands of Thailand
Economy - mainEconomy of Thailand After enjoying the world's highest growth rate from 1985 to 1995 - averaging almost 9% annually - increased speculative pressure on Thailand's currency, the baht, in 1997 led to a crisis that uncovered financial sector weaknesses and forced the government to float the currency. Long pegged at 25 to the US dollar, the baht reached its lowest point of 56 to the US dollar in January 1998 and the economy contracted by 10.2% that same year. The crisis spread to the Asian financial crisis.Thailand entered a recovery stage in 1999, expanding 4.2% and grew 4.4% in 2000, largely due to strong exports - which increased about 20% in 2000. Growth was dampened by softening of global economy in 2001, but picking up in the subsequent years due to strong growth in China and various domestic stimulation programs promoted by List of Prime Ministers of ThailandPrime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, popularly known as Thaksinomics. Growth in 2003 is estimated to be around 6.3%, and projected at 8% and 10% in 2004 and 2005.Tourism contributes significantly to the Thai economy, and the industry has benefited from the Thai baht's depreciation and Thailand's stability. Tourist arrivals in 2002 (10.9 million) reflected a 7.3% increase from the previous year (10.1 million).
Demographics - mainDemographics of Thailand Thailand's population is dominated by ethnic Thai and Lao, the latter concentrated in the northeastern Isan region and making up around one third of the population. There is also a large community of Thai Chinese, who have historically played a disproportionately significant role in the economy. Bangkok's Chinatown is located on Yaowarat Road. Other ethnic groups include Malay peopleMalays in the south, Mon (ethnic group)Mon, Khmer peopleKhmer and various indigenous hill tribes.According to the last census (2000) 94.6% of Thais are BuddhismBuddhists of the Theravada tradition. Muslims are the second religious group in Thailand at 4.6%. Most of them are ethnic Malays and they are mostly concentrated in the south, where they form a strong majority in four provinces. ChristianityChristians, mainly Catholics, represent 0.75% of the population. A tiny but influential community of Sikhs and some Hindus also live in the country's cities. The Thai language is Thailand's national language, written in its own Thai alphabetalphabet, but many ethnic and regional dialects exist as well as areas where people speak predominantly Isan languageIsan or Khmer languageKhmer. Although English languageEnglish is widely taught in schools, proficiency is low.
Culture - mainCulture of Thailand Muay Thai, or Thai boxing, is the national sport in Thailand and its native martial art. It reached popularity all over the world in the 1990s. Similar martial art styles exist in other southeast Asian countries.The standard greeting in Thailand is a prayer-like gesture called the ''wai''. Taboos include touching someone's head or pointing with the feet, as the head is considered the highest and the foot the lowest part of the body. Stepping over someone, or over food, is considered insulting. Books and other documents are considered the most revered of secular objects - therefore one should not slide a book across a table or place it on the floor. Thailand is a constitutional monarchy and the King is extremely respected and revered. It is illegal to insult the Royal Family. Cuisine of ThailandThai cuisine blends five fundamental tastes: sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and salty.

Vincent Calvino P.I. Series by Christopher G. Moore
Intelligent and articulate, Moore offers a rich, passionate and original take on the private eye game [that] fans of the genre should definitely investigate, and that fans of foreign intrigue will definitely enjoy. --Kevin Burton Smith, January Magazine Christopher G. Moore's Vincent Clavino P.I. Series began with the first novel set in Bangkok Spirit House in 1992. The 3rd Calvino novel Zero Hour in Phnom Penh won the German Critics Award for Crime Fiction (Deutscher Krimi Preis) for best international crime fiction in 2004. The latest in this on-going series is Pattaya 24/7 (No. 8). Calvino novels have been translated into several languages, including French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian and Thai. Vincent Calvino is a likeable ex-lawyer from New York who's given up practice to turn P.I. in Southeast Asia, where he finds himself in the labyrinth of local politics, double-dealing and fleeting relationships. Unlike typical tough-guy sleuths, Calvino admits he would never survive without his guardian angel, his Shakespear-quoting and saxophone-playing buddy, Colonel Pratt, an honest and well-connected Thai cop who helps him find hidden forces, secret traps and ways to keep him alive in a foreign land. The Vincent Calvino P.I. series has drawn comparisons to literary masters. January Magazine said, Moore's work recalls the international 'entertainments' of Graham Greene or John le Carre, but the hard-bitten worldview and the cynical, bruised idealism of his battered hero is right out of Chandler. Japan Times described Calvino as: Hewn from the hard-boiled Dashiell Hammet/Raymond Chandler model, Calvino is a tough, somewhat tarnished hero with a heart of gold.
