Lanna Style by Ping Amranand and William Warren
Art and Design of Northern Thailand The country that we now refer to as Thailand only achieved its present form in the 19th. century. Before then for over 500 years there flourished the independent kingdom of Lanna, stretching north from Phitsanulok as far as Chiang Rai, as far east as present-day Laos and as far west as Burma. Over these centuries the kingdom developed a distinctive art, architecture, language and culture, many elements of which endure to this day. In this book, the beauty of Lanna's art, architecture and artifacts are captured in the photography of Ping Amranand, with an Informative text by William Warren. |

Arts and Crafts of Thailand by William Warren
Arts and Crafts of Thailand by William Warren Thailand has a uniquely long-standing tradition of arts and crafts. Unlike most of its neighbours, it has never been occupied by a foreign power or engaged in wars of conquest, and it has thus enjoyed a relatively peaceful development since ancient times. Patronized by the court and the temples, the designs and craftsmanship of Thai artisans has flourished. |

A Sourcebook of Decoration and Design "Brings a new dimension to the story of Western borrowings from the Far East." International Textiles Interior With 246 full colour illustrations Since the beginning of trade between East and West, the Orient has been a source of beautiful and exotic objects, materials, textures and colours for Europeans and Americans, and has enriched the vocabulary of Western design. Now, the increasing accessibility of Asia has opened up an even greater range of objects and designs which can be used and applied just as effectively in Western interiors as in the traditional dwellings of Japan, Thailand, Burma, and other the other countries of eastern Asia. |

Shadows of Life: Nang Talung by Sven Broman - Paperback
Thai Popular Shadow Theatre Nang Talung, the Thai popular shadow theatre, originated in the southern part of the country, where it is still a very popular form of entertainment. It appeared first in the 17th century and represents a new form of Thai shadow theatre different from Nang yai, the classical shadow theatre from central Thailand. This difference is found in shape, size and composition of the shadow figures, as well as in cast, manner of manipulation, performance, music and stage. 147 shadow figures from two Thai and two Swedish collections illustrate the different characters met with in a Nang talung performance. |
