Things Thai by Tanistha Dansilp & Michael Freeman
 Thai Crafts and Collectibles A collectors piece in itself - this large book has over 200 full colour photographs. From the soaring chedis of Sukhothai to the homes of ordinary village people, Thailand offers a plethora of arts and crafts of an exceptionally high quality. Be they items created for royalty and wealthy patrons or devotional objects made in the service of Buddhism, or simple rural crafts of daily life, they offer insight into Thai culture and customs. Photographed entirely in Thailand, the objects showcased range from elegant laquerware and mother-of-pearl inlay pieces, to woodcarvings and decoration in monasteries, to day-to-day items such as homespun textiles, farming implements and basketry. |

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. |

Buddhist Sculptures of Northern Thailand
Lan Na's Buddhist Sculpture The art of the Northern kingdoms of Thailand was Buddhist, and the Buddha image was at its core. These images were created not only as contemporary reminders of Gautama Buddha, but were in themselves objects of respect and intense veneration. The purpose of traditional Buddhist art was not to delight the eye or "decorate", but to remind, enlighten, and instruct. |

Traditional T'ai Arts in Contemporary Perspective
The papers contained in this book examine a variety of forms of artistic expression, including weaving and fashion, carving, painting, and dancing, as well as boxing. The chapters are written by academics and artists. The volume as a whole reflects a blending of the perspectives of those who study the arts and those who practice them. While the focus is on the arts of T'ai peoples in Thailand, attention is also paid to T'ais in the neighboring countries of Laos, Burma, China, and Vietnam. Such a geographical spread reflects a growing interest in the comparative study of T'ai-speaking peoples living in different political and social settings in an effort to better understand common themes in T'ai culture and how it has evolved throughout the region. The chapters are accompanied by ninety-three color photos that provide a pictorial survey of the forms of artistic expression among T'ai peoples. |

Introduction to the Thai Mural by K.I. Matics
Although Thai murals have been the subject of a few other studies in western languages, it is rare indeed that one encounters a study that reveals the rich cultural and historical tapestry interwoven throughout the art of Buddhist temples in Thailand. Dr. Matics' study guides the reader through the complexities of Thai artistry, providing vivid descriptions of styles, techniques, origins, themes and mediums. Regrettably, many of the murals depicted are no longer in existence: hence, this book is a valuable historical record of Thai murals. |
