5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book........., February 25, 2008

By	Pat (Thailand; USA) - See all my reviews

One of my friends who used to own a book store supplied me with a copy of this beautiful "coffee table book" when it first came out in 1998. The photography is well done and gives a unique perspective of the enormous Buddha statues that one happens to find at various locations around Thailand. Before moving to Thailand I stored some items at my mothers house and this is one of the very few books that I kept. Simply a beautiful book to have if you can find a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, October 7, 2000

Being a photographer myself, I can only say that this is an excellent book with great photography and good background information on Thailand, Buddha Statues and Buddhism in general. I pull out this book over and over again just to look at it's photographs. They are almost meditation!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing t ext and photography., June 30, 1999

By A Customer

The photography was at best "mediocre" and presented nothing that could not be seen in other books on Thailand. The text lacked both depth and understanding of the subject and was stilted.
