Conversion Growth of Protestant Churches in Thailand by Visser, Marten

This thesis is a must read for every missionary who wants to understand the Body of Christ in Thailand. It is the most comprehensive overview of the Thai church written since Alex Smith published "Siamese Gold: the Church in Thailand" in 1982. This study is a statistical analysis of hypotheses about conversion and church growth, and therefore takes the study of church growth one step further than is usually done in missiological studies.
