5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource
This book is a wonderful overview of an important branch of traditional Thai medicine. It is well written and gives the reader a true picture of the vast and complex world of spirituality in Thailand and its importance to healing in this culture. I highly recommend it along with its companion books by the same author.

2.0 out of 5 stars Visually beautiful but unhelpful
This book is enjoyable visually but appears superficial in respect to depth of knowledge that is conveyed within it. I think this book will be interesting to someone who has no knowledge of the subject matter but will not be helpful to anyone who sincerely wants to learn about the spiritually of Thailand.

This review is from: The Spiritual Healing of Traditional Thailand (Paperback)
This book is enjoyable visually but appears superficial in respect to depth of knowledge that is conveyed within it. I think this book will be interesting to someone who has no knowledge of the subject matter but will not be helpful to anyone who sincerely wants to learn about the spiritually of Thailand. Although the book is well produced, it is akin in substance to a magazine. To the best of my knowledge, genuinely helpful books on this subject matter have yet to be written.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great overview, August 4, 2007

This review is from: The Spiritual Healing of Traditional Thailand (Paperback)
I am an instructor of Thai massage, and am about to write a reveiw for all of Mr. Salguero's books. The reason I am doing this is because they give a great foundation for anyone practicing Thai massage or teaching it. This is the lens that I read these books through, and I have to say that while there is still plenty of room for more in-depth books to be written on the subject of this particular book in the english language, the truth is that those books don't exist. We can only compare to what is, not to what we may wish for. I am deeply thankful that Mr. Salguero has taken the time to share windows of his extensive knowledge with us.
