It was originally put out by Amarin Publishing in Thailand, and
translated to English by a person with a Thai-looking name. I share your
caution, but I think its better than that title.

My Borders also has copies of "The Foods of Thailand: Recipes from the
Famous Sukhothai Restaurant in Zurich". Its a very pretty book, and I
have a copy of it, but I never seem to get around to using it.
