A serious examination of drifter-style tourism, a sanitized and institutionalised tourism alternative in Asia. From the latter years of the 20th century drifter tourism has developments its own myth and spawned its own subculture among Western travellers. This volume gives an insider view of that subculture, and the impact it has on the Asian countries and cultures affected.
