Thai Americans

Discover the history, culture, traditions, and lived experiences of Thai Americans in the United States.



Thai Americans play a significant role in weaving the culture and makeup of American society. On the other side of the world than the United States, Thailand has its own unique culture, history, and customs, all of which immigrants bring with them when they come to the US. This volume explores what it means to be a Thai American, covering topics such as language, food, religion, holidays, economics, education, gender roles, assimilation, media, and notable people, to name a few. Starting with an introduction to the history of Thailand and then delving into the factors and aspects of daily life for Thai Americans, the book offers an insight into this ethnic group and how they contribute to the American Mosaic.
