| Abstract | This is an extremely ambitious book, generous with wonderful illustrations, that attempts to tell the long story of Chinese immigration to Thailand and the impact of one of the largest and most influential diasporas in recent history. Indeed, the Thai-Chinese have made a tremendous contribution to Thailand, particularly in the business world where their approximately 14% of the country's population (more directly - about fifty ethnic Chinese families) controls 80% to 90% of the overall market capitalization of the country, 90% of its manufacturing section, 50% of the banking and financial services sectors (including the four largest private banks) and about 80% of the companies listed in the Thai stock market (Haley, Haley, & Tan, 2009; Seagrave, 2010; Weidenbaum & Hughes, 1996; Yeung, 2006). The five top billionaires in Thailand have Chinese blood as well as 17 former prime ministers and at least one prior king. |
