Atlas of Thailand

This atlas portrays Thailand’s spatial structures and presents the country’s
social and economic development in a territorial context. The Kingdom of
Thailand has undergone many changes throughout its long history, and most
recently during its vigorous growth from the middle of the 1980s. The maps and
text give a comprehensive interpretation of Thailand’s internal dynamics as
well as its regional and global integration. This is the first atlas of its
kind for Thailand. It includes a wide range of spatial information and maps
using various computer-assisted techniques. Seventy plates of maps,
accompanied with commentary, cover significant topics such as: Thailand’s
relation to the world-system, its place in Eastern Asia, and its population,
infrastructure, urban network, production, income, education, intra-regional
dynamics. The volume brings together experts in a variety of fields and
methods. It will be a valuable tool for teachers and students, planners and
entrepreneurs – indeed, for anyone eager to understand recent changes and
prepare future diagnoses.
