A History of Thailand offers a lively and accessible account of Thailand’s political, economic, social and cultural history, from the early settlements in the Chao Phraya basin to today. Now in its third edition, this book explores how a world of mandarin nobles and unfree peasants was transformed by colonialism, the expansion of the rice frontier and immigration of traders and labourers from southern China. It examines how the monarchy managed the foundation of a new nation-state at the turn of the 20th century. Baker and Phongpaichit capture the clashes between various groups – urban nationalists, ambitious generals, communist rebels and business politicians – in their attempts to take control of the nation-state in the 20th century. They track Thailand’s economic changes through the highs and lows of an economic boom, globalization and the evolution of mass society. This edition sheds light on Thailand’s recent political, social and economic developments, covering the coup of 2006, the violent street politics of May 2010, and the landmark election of 2011 and its aftermath. It shows how in Thailand today the monarchy, the military, business and new mass movements are players in a complex conflict over the nature and future of the country’s democracy. Chris Baker taught Asian history at Cambridge University and has lived in Thailand for over 30 years. He is now an independent writer, researcher and translator. Pasuk Phongpaichit is Professor in the Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. She has written widely in Thai and English on the Thai economy, sex industry, corruption, illegal economy and inequality.

Introduction
O n a coolish Sunday night on January 16, 2011, I accompanied my friend Peter Garrity to a funeral concert at a temple in suburban Bangkok. We did not know the person who had died, but we approved of his taste in music. He and his family had decided that his life would be celebrated by a luk thung, or Thai country song, concert performed by the highly professional Nopporn Silver Gold troupe. Peter was personally informed about the concert by Nopporn Silver Golds main drawcard, Mangpor (Dragonfly) Chonticha. In her late twenties, Mangpor is among the most exciting and experienced performers on the Bangkok circuit, having performed since she was thirteen years old. Arriving early at 7:30 p.m. we sit down with other Mangpor fan club members on woven mats laid in front of the huge stage. Pet
