Blending a multiplicity of cultural influences with their own artistic genius, the Thai people have created some of the world's finest art.

The text by Steve Van Beek, a 30 year resident of Asia with a special interest in art, is based on exhaustive research in museums, libraries, architectural sites and Thai temples, as well as interviews with collectors and art historians.
