The Golden Kingdom
This is a great coffee table book! At a reasonable price. It is loaded with beautiful photography of many different aspects of Thailand. If you love Thailand you will love this book. If you know nothing of Thailand this book will make you want to learn more. When your friends see it they will be ooing and aawing.

Thailand: The Golden Kingdom
This was a gift for a friend that loves Thailand and lived and traveled there extensively. He loved this book. It is a great reminder of all he loved about such a beautiful country.

Beautiful book!
I liked that this book not only gave you the beautiful photos, but it also provides you with loads of information on Thailand. Too often I find that these books lack useful or interesting information about the country featured. This book doesn't disappoint in that area. The photographs are beautiful and give you a nice glimpse into this beautiful land. I gave this as a gift but was tempted to order a copy for myself!
