This rich photographic survey of Thailand’s traditional art and architecture tells the story of the country’s cultural history. From artifacts of ancient pre-Thai civilizations to achievements of the Thai kingdom in the early 20th century, the enduring vestiges and persistent vitality of Thai heritage continue to entice visitors, residents, and researchers.

Photographer and author Jim Wageman traveled to both well-known and little-visited sites throughout Thailand to capture images that convey the breadth and intricacy of the country’s heritage. A retired art director and book designer, Wageman has presented his images in a gorgeous layout that is matched by solid, well-researched captions and explanations. Beautiful and incisive, The Timeless Heritage of Thailand is an outstanding compendium for anyone fascinated by the treasures of Thailand’s cultural heritage.
