Focusing on the rise of international meditation centres in Thailand, the book examines the evolution of Thai Buddhism and its adaptation to modern global influences. It highlights the changing perceptions of Thai Buddhism in the West while addressing themes of commodification and globalization. Through this lens, the text provides insights into how traditional practices are reshaped in the context of contemporary society.
