The purpose of this project was to provide an objective perspective on the King of Thailand's technological initiatives for the development of his country. A variety of project site visits and personal interviews were combined with an intense literature review to acquire comprehension of those aspects of Thai society integral to an understanding of the philosophies underlying the projects. With this basis, the Royal Projects were evaluated and issues regarding their continuation and extended application were raised.
