In this chapter, Michael Goodman explores what it was like for Christianity to first come to Thailand. Buddhism had a huge pull throughout Thailand's religious history because it was tied so thoroughly with the country's education, tradition, and politics. Goodman shares the experiences of Catholics, Protestants, and finally Latter-day Saints in trying to proselyte among the people of Thailand.
