Custom, Kinship and the Law: An Analysis of Thailands Rural Northeastern Provinces (1946-1976)

Antonio L Rappa

The Siamese and Thai history of village level kinship ties and communalism in both Siamese and Lao culture contributed to the variegated evolution of Siamese and Thai traditions and customs. Legal frameworks for the Kingdom only began to take serious root in modernity when Western forms of administration and society began after World War II. This paper examines the customs, kinship relations, and relevant laws of the Kingdom’s rural provinces in the northeast.
