Beyond the Beach. An Ethnography of Modern Travellers in Asia.

Bangkok. White Lotus. 2002. Stock ID #58766

xvi + 272pp, bibliography, paperback.

Beyond the Beach examines drifter-style tourism, a sanitized and institutionalized tourism alternative, in Asia. Over the last thirty years drifter tourism has developed its own myth and spawned a mobile subculture of Western travellers. The study seeks to illustrate the historical background, nature and ideology of present-day travellers in Asia and to present an 'insider's view' of the subculture based on more than sixty in-depth interviews conducted in the field.
