5 out of 5 stars captivating and informative   February 3, 2004
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is the perfect book for those who like some substance to their form. The writing is wonderful - I felt like I took a trip through time and through Thailand. The photos are beautiful as well because they aren't just the standard head-on shots, but interesting details and angles.


5 out of 5 stars By far the best   February 3, 2004

Having bought a large number of architectural books on Thailand, I can validate that this is the best so far. It is a well written book and definitely worth purchasing. I definitely recommend it for whoever has a passion for the decorative arts and for plain class Thai architecture. Definitely a gem.


5 out of 5 stars Enhanced appreciation for Thailand   December 19, 2003
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I wish I had owned this book before my month long visit to Thailand three years ago. I received this book as a Christmas gift last year and really appreciated the insight it provides concerning the history, culture, and style of Thailand. Not only is it a gorgeous book with wonderful pictures but it also helped me to better understand Thai culture and style.

It really helped me to better appreciate my experiences in Thailand.
