Thailand Land of Beautiful Women by Dean Barrett
From construction workers to go-go dancers, hundreds of color photographs "I was immensely touched; her youth, her ignorance, her pretty beauty, which had the simple charm and the delicate vigour of a wild-flower..." Joseph Conrad - Lord Jim For many years, Thai women have been well on their way to becoming international celebrities. The cheerful attitude, the graceful movement, the charming smile, the gentle nature, the lovely figure, the total lack of self-pity - all this and more seems to have combined into a Siamese bewitchment captivating men of almost every nationality. For many, the mention of Thai women conjures up the stereotype of unbridled sensuality in the lush tropics. Thailand: Land of Beautiful Women attempts to delve deeper into the reasons for their phenomenal popularity. |

The Chao Phya River in Transition by Steve Van Beek
Steve Van Beek travels the river's length exploring its past, its present and its future Flowing through theheart of Thailand, the copious waters of the Chao Phya River system provide a key to understanding the Thai people, their history, culture, and probable future. The Chao Phya, with its four tributaries, has enabled the Thai people to create a prosperous economy and a stable political environment. More than any other river system in Asia, it has served as the source of life for a flourishing agricultural sector, provided the foundation for a political system, served as a communications and transportation highway, and protected its cities from enemies. Moreover, it has made a profound contribution in shaping Thai perceptions of themselves and the world. In recent years, however, the role of the Chao Phya River has been changing in ways detrimental to its future. Far from declining in importance, it is more vital than ever, but its benefits are being compromised by modes of usage that threaten not only Thailand's economic health but also its social stability. |

Her great talent lies in her ability to present ordinary people and mundane objects with a dramatic difference. This album is the first collection of her photographs and contemplations which are published in the Outlook section of the Bangkok Post and which command a great deal of admiration and a dedicated following. Her previous book was The Royal Palace of Phnom Penh and Cambodian Royal Life also from Post Publishing. |
