This article reviews the situation of women in Thailand. Following this introduction and a brief
review of the literature, the article provides some empirical background (section III) on the Thai
population, the political system of Thailand, and the Thai economy. As of late, all three have
been changing. Slowly, women are becoming more incorporated into society. This incorporation
is examined in the subsequent four sections (IV-VII), reviewing, respectively, the changing
status of Thai women with regards to health, education, politics and work. Section VIII provides
some conclusions.
