This book is absolutely well-written by experts, whose alma mater I share, in the subject. It contains accurate and informative information for those who wish to know all aspects of tradition and culture that go into designing and construction of traditional Thai houses. The photos in the book are abundant and very beautiful. I bought this book sight-unseen and what luck! I am Thai and this book contains some details even a Thai person does not know. I hereby offer my highest recommendation!

I find this book very useful for Thai style house reference. It gives the over all views to understand of relationship between cultures and inhabitant. It is very well illustrated the different of each region style. Very nice sketches, plans, photos. The best so far for books published about Thai style house.

Great guide to Thai if architecture and carving are your muse. Details of the construction method and accompanying buddhist ceremonies are well photo'd and described. Explaination of the details are put into context of the culture and climate in which the architecture has evolved. I just went to northern Thailand and this book helped me understand the architecture I was seeing in ways I definately would not have noted with out this background.

This is a very good book. It has many useful information and many beautiful pictures. I am really satisfied.
