This book was the winner of the 2022 Peter Lang Emerging Scholars Competition in Media & Communication.

Thailand, the "land of smiles," is often seen as a "gay paradise." But how does Thai culture understand sexuality? This book moves beyond Western frameworks to explore non-normative genders like kathoey, gay, tom, and dee. Through historical context and film analysis, it challenges assumptions, embraces Thai nuances, and offers a deeper understanding of the "third sex" concept. Examining historical texts and contemporary films, the book sheds light on the experiences of individuals with non-normative genders—their challenges, triumphs, and contributions to Thai society. This book offers critical insights into the complexities of gender and sexuality in Thai cultures, challenging readers to broaden their perspectives. Essential reading for anyone interested in gender studies, sexuality, queer studies, film, and Thai culture.
