A review of thirty-one pieces of work on language problems in Thailand with reference to social factors shows that in Thailand itself interest in dealing with language in its social context started about 40 years before the first sociolinguistic study of Thai was done at the beginning of the 1970s. The studies in the last two decades (from 1970 to the present time) follow two major trends in sociolinguistics: study of linguistic variation by relating it to social factors and study of language problems from a macrosociolinguistic point of view. However, sociolinguistic studies of languages in Thailand in the 198Os, when compared to those in the 197Os, seem to be more specific in purpose, more limited in scope, cover more varied topics and deal with more languages other than Bangkok Thai or Standard Thai.
