Roadside Thailand

Tourism Authority Thailand promotes worldwide tourism to Thailand.....an important part of the overall Thailand economy...almost 20% of Thailand GDP...as a kind of exotic ancient fantasy land. But of course, the actual everyday Thailand is neither exotic nor a fantasy land. This book of photos of everyday roadside Thailand, sprawling and messy, is the opposite of all those hundreds of Thailand Tourism books with stunning sunsets over the Mekong, monks in orange robs carrying sun umbrellas and deserted pristine tropical islands and beaches. Here is the "real" Thailand, a mid-level developing country with spotty zoning and a lot of sprawl and messiness.
