Abstract
This paper presents a case study on the role objects played in the construction of Thai women as social subjects in the period of the American Era and Development. Based on the analysis of popular Thaietiquette manual Kritsana son nong: Naenam marayat thi ngam haeng araya samai, an oral history was generated through conducting interviews with women growing up in the period. The conversations brought to light the term pen sao and illustrated that while certain objects and practices were portrayed generally as signs of modernity and civilisation, they could also be perceived as suspicious when being viewed as signs of gender differences.
