This is a study of contemporary Buddhist-Christian encounter in Thailand. Based on case studies, it describes the encounter and debates the related issues of nationalism, identity, and concept of the religious other. Thai notions of avoidance and friendship are identified as specific contributions to the wider field of interreligious relations.
