In this paper, I argue that the “Thai wisdom” supposedly lost is emerging as a national phenomenon, a significant form of response to the forces of globalization and a perceived “world culture.” Revitalizing Thai wisdom has become part of the comprehensive educational reforms that followed Thailand’s economic crash of 1997—the National Education Act of 1999. Recourse to Thai wisdom, and more specifically local wisdom , is a strategy aimed at revitalizing cultural knowledge and practices. I believe that this revitalization represents a form of resistance to the homogenizing aspects of globalization enacted through movements to enhance the capacities of local communities to chart their own cultural and economic paths.
