The Colours of Thailand Book

The saffron of monks' robes, the iridescent green of the fields, the fierce red ofa boxer's gloves...Thailand's colors show the essence of its many characters. It is a country alive with a myriad of striking images. Renowned travel photographer Barbara Lloyd captures the heart of this country--its temples, hill tribes, ancient sites, festivals, silks, spices, and jewel-like islands. She introduces a new color for the theme of each chapter, demonstrating the individual mood, personality, symbolic meaning, and uses of color in the everyday lives of the people of Thailand. Full of insights and countless visual treasures, this book will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever traveled, or dreamed of traveling, to one of the most fascinating countries in Asia.
