520    A Geek in Thailand is a lighthearted look at Thailand from
       a young foreign visitor and resident's perspective. This 
       alternative guide to Thailand offers a smart and concise 
       take on Thai culture, entertainment, daily life--covering 
       all the classics--but also revealing the path less 
       traveled. In short articles accompanied by sidebars and 
       numerous, colorful photographs, it paints a revealing 
       picture of Asia's most popular travel destination. A Geek 
       in Thailand is for the holidaymakers who visit for two 
       weeks every year and have a desire to learn about the 
       culture, but are struggling to know where to begin. 
       Sections on the food, drink, social scene, music, film and
       everyday Thai life are sure to appeal to them. It is also 
       for those who wish to move to Thailand on a more permanent
       basis as it contains helpful information regarding 
       purchasing property, setting up a company and applying for
       visas and work permits. Chapters on the Thai character and
       cultural dos and don'ts and faux pas will allow the reader
       to go beyond the Thai smile. Sections on politics, history,
       economy and the unique relationship between the Thai 
       Nation, Religion and Monarchy will also be of interest to 
       those who wish to delve into a deeper understanding of 
       Thailand.
