  Book's Description

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 pre sent-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 Amaranand, with an informative text by William Warren.
