| Abstract: | 1996 was not a good year for Thailand. Economic problems piled up as thick as Bangkok's legendary traffic and the pundit's forecast a Mexico-style accident. But the Big Mango, as Thailand's capital city is known, did not go splat -- thanks to skilful technocrats who steered the country to safety. It's early days but the worst could be over. Thailand's civil service is noted for its cool steering of the economy during periodic crises such as military coups, political upheavals and riots. |
