5.0 out of 5 stars
Thorough and well-illustrated
In contrast to the previous reviewer, I found this book extremely informative. I was trying to find out more about the mural paintings in the Muk Krasan Cheuam, a portico between the Phra Thinang Phaisan Thaksin and the Ho Phra Sulalai Phiman of the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

This review is from: Palaces of Bangkok: Royal Residences of the Chakri Dynasty (Hardcover)
In contrast to the previous reviewer, I found this book extremely informative. I was trying to find out more about the mural paintings in the Muk Krasan Cheuam, a portico between the Phra Thinang Phaisan Thaksin and the Ho Phra Sulalai Phiman of the Grand Palace in Bangkok. It's not easy to find published information about such a specific part of the immense palace compound, but this book not only had extensive descriptions of both the latter buildings, it even had a photograph providing a glimpse of the paintings I'm researching. It's not easy to find good pictures of the Grand Palace outside of coffee table books, but this volume is much more detailed and helpful than most other coffee table books. [Disclaimer: I'm using the 1996 first edition. It is the same length, at 368 pages, as the 1997 edition featured here, so I'm assuming there are no substantial differences.]
