*** Thai Style is beautifully exotic and enticing***

Thai Style is a book for the eye, as well as those interested in better understanding the merging of Asian cultures. This book is filled with great compilation of gorgeous photos within every chapter and every subject. You?ll see everything from a private collection of coconut scrapers and lawn temples to ornately built houses (and palaces) and lavish swimming pools. The photos are clean, professionally shot, and well suited for the text that they accompany.For the architecture student, professor, interior decorator, casual home enthusiast, tropical gardener, or if you hold a special affinity for Thailand, this would make a great gift. In many ways it feels like a miniature coffee table book. History is discussed at length, and an entire chapter is devoted to adapted traditions in ?Thai style?. Even though there obviously foreign influences, everything about what?s pictured seems magically and instantly Thai.Enjoy!
