a| Bangkok has been at the frontier of capitalism's drive into Asia for three decades. Rapid development has profoundly altered public and private life in Thailand. In her provocative study of contemporary commerce in Bangkok, Ara Wilson captures the intimate effects of the global economy in this vibrant city. The Intimate Economies of Bangkok is a multifaceted portrait of the intertwining of identities, relationships, and economics during Bangkok's boom years. Using innovative case studies of women's and men's participation in a range of modern markets -- department stores, go-go bars, a popular downtown mall, a telecommunications company, and the direct sales corporations Amway and Avon -- Wilson chronicles the powerful expansion of capitalist exchange into further reaches of Thai society.
