Presenting Thailand: A Journey Through The Kingdom

John Hoskin's informative and entertaining text and Mark Standen's distinctive and sympathetic photographs present a wide-ranging introduction to the Kingdom in all its aspects, including geography, history, people, religion, art, culture, and cuisine. The main text is accompanied by sidebars and box stories which highlight details, provide anecdotal information, and give a lively and reader-friendly look to the book. An introduction gives an overview of Thailand, its location, climate, diversity, and all its essential characteristics, followed by sections on the Five Regions: Angels, Beaches and Southern Thailand, Historical Central Plains, Into the Mai and Northern Thailand, and Traditional Northeast.
