The cultures of the Oriental East are uniquely different to those of the Occidental West. To the Western individual experiencing those differences for the first time, the new rules can come as a big shock.
The scenic beauty, cultural diversity and generally polite nature of the peoples of South East Asia is at most times a delight. In fact it would be difficult to find a better set of locations in which to experience a uniquely different holiday. However, the Art of War was formulated in the Orient in ancient times, and business is conducted using those principles to this day. So if you intend to investigate the possibility of investment or trade in South East Asia and the Orient, caveat emptor (buyer beware) applies with a vengeance and you need this book.

As example, during the Second World War, Siam allied itself to the Japanese. It had no alternative, the country would have been overrun by the Nipponese forces just as Singapore, Malaya, Burma and parts of China were in the same land block. Whilst supposedly allied to the Japanese, Siam assisted the Western powers via the underground. Despite having faced both ways at the same time for the best part of five years - never taking up arms and business continuing as usual - at the end of the Second World War, Siam/Thailand managed to stay on good terms with both East and West.
Unique amongst non-Western nations, Siam/Thailand was the only country in South East Asia never to have been colonized during the golden age of Western imperialism. Every single nation surrounding that country was, but Siam/Thailand was not. You’d have to look long and hard through the history books to match such dexterous feats of diplomacy.

The cultures of South East Asia and the Orient are ancient. In fact some would say superior in many ways. Whilst the Celts, Scots, Picts, Gauls and Saxons - from which the European races and majority of the North America and Australasian populations are descended - were running around with blue paint on their faces (wode) armed with spears and wearing rough hewn skins on their backs, Siam had discovered how to weave fine silk; China had a well developed commercial system, fine art was much appreciated, gunpowder had been invented, and an efficient (albeit slightly corrupt) civil service was in place.

Then there is the fact that the main Western religions - Christianity and Judaism - are not the religions of the East. Five of the countries of South East Asia are Buddhist and/or lean towards Buddhism - which does do not accept the role of a God or Deity, believing that the conduct of the individual determines the present and the future. That can be hard for the Western visitor to handle. In other parts of South East Asia, Confucianism, Taoism and Islam are the faiths which predominate.

When a business ventures into other lands, the difference between doing a deal that floats and one that does not, is cultural knowledge. An insight into the background and culture of any nation you intend to visit can also provide greater understanding and pleasure. The world needs greater understanding.
