		Thai art is an ambiguous term which (according to the cultural orientation of the speaker or the context in which it is used) may refer to very different, sometimes contradictory things.
		But Thai art, that is, the art that is part of Thailand's cultural heritage, is much more than the product of Tai initiatives: it is also the outgrowth of ethnically diverse peoples who had lived in the land that would become Thailand several millennia before the Tai began their prodigious undertakings.
		To understand the true meaning of Thai art, one must begin in the pre-Tai period when the roots of Thai art and culture took hold and—in a variety of unforeseeable and unexpected ways—contributed to their growth.

	Reading Thai art internationally Art Journal - Find Articles
		Steven Pettifor's Flavours: Thai Contemporary Art is the first survey to capture Thailand's contemporary art scene in terms of what the contemporary means: how artists of this and recent generations can be situated in regard to current notions of Thai experience and identity and broader questions of impact and significance outside this country.
		Pettifor moved to Bangkok in 1992, the year of a bloody coup, witnessed the economic collapse and its aftermath from 1997, and is part of the ongoing periods of rapid development and commercialization in a country that is otherwise known for a stable continuity of traditional values and beliefs.
		It is this sense of Thai identity and a critical relationship to notions of foreign influence and internationalism that delimit the contemporaneity of the artists included in Flavours, be it the project of certain artists or an issue that Pettifor draws out.
