There are many misconceptions about mafias. Not all mafia families are the same, whether in Thailand or elsewhere.There can be ruthlessness, violence, and killings in the underworld of organised crime. Considered unacceptable in a modern and civilsed society. But there is another side to the concept of mafia.
Although often seen as an evil cancer to be eradicated, its members see an alternative way to deal with the unfairness prevalent in most societies, to take control of their own destinies for the benefit of their own families and communities.
Murder in the Market, despite being a work of fiction, reveals how mafias really operate in Thailand and are a part of everyday life. You may be surprised at how the Parin family business operates and how it seemlessly integrates into the local community and is accepted. But if you know Thailand, perhaps you won't be so surprised. There are many twists and turns in the story of this strong Thai mafia family.
You may guess the outcome, you may not. There are many twists and turns in the story of this strong Thai mafia family. You may guess the outcome, you may not.
The group includes members of the so-called hi-so elite as well as military and police officers. Interaction sometimes needs to be one-to-one as Thais are cautious expressing their views in front of their other countrymen.
To understand Thailand and to integrate better with the Thai people and their culture, it's important to observe and listen rather than doing all the talking oneself. After all, God gave us two eyes and two ears but only ONE mouth.
Through field research and discussions with Thais, either in normal conversation or in the lecture theatre, Matt presents a rich picture of the real Thailand, warts and all.
He has written extensively on Thais and Thailand with 20 published books already available in ebook and print format.
Despite not being similar in style, his books reflect on some of the observations in "Mai Pen Rai Means Never Mind." ln his opinion, the best introductory book on Thais and Thailand. Written by Carol Hollinger in 1965, its insights are still very revealing and up to date.
Sadly, Hollinger passed away at 45 years old before she could see her best- selling book in print. Matt also then lost an opportunity to collaborate with her on a new book on the concept of Face in Thailand.
