This book explores Thailand's position during the Cold War, focusing on its ambiguous stance between maintaining independence and establishing itself as a staunchly anti-communist nation. It argues that Thailand was never formally a client state of the United States but was closely integrated into the Western camp through its urban communities' commitment to a modern, consumerist lifestyle. The book delves into the impact of popular culture, including film, literature, fashion, tourism, and attitudes towards Buddhism, showing how these elements influenced Thailand's international political alignment and its integration into a "free world" culture centered in the United States.
