Description
This is the first detailed and humanistically oriented description of family life in Thailand; rejects the "loose structure" explanation of Thai family life; and proposes an alternative model based on the idea of a family structure conceptually centered on women, or "weakly bilateral". This model not only explains the data, but also offers a new way of looking at comparative kinship.
