Description
The traditional houses of Thailand in wood or bamboo are among the most beautiful examples of Southeast Asian vernacular architecture. Using a prefabricated modular system, such houses could be taken down and rebuilt in new locations in an era when land was still abundant. The book not only traces the history of the Thai house but also explains the building process and the beliefs and complex ceremonies with accompany their construction. Beautiful photographs and authoritative texts make this book an invaluable treatise on the Thai House. - from Amzon
