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: geography, history, people, religion, art, culture and cuisine.
The main text is accompanied by box stories, which are used to highlight details, provide anecdotal information, and give a lively and reader friendly look to the book. An introduction, giving an overview of Thailand, its location, climate, diversity, and all its essential characteristics, is followed by five regional chapters: Bangkok: City of Angels; Beaches and Islands: Coastal and Southern Thailand; Historical Heartland: The Central Plains; Into the Hills: Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand; and Traditional Thailand: The Northeast.
