Impressive monuments and romantic ruins mark the influences of long-gone empires. Intriguing archeological discoveries have been made in the northeast. Skilled artisans practise their crafts in the cool mountain regions of the north. The stunning scenery of the south forms a dramatic backdrop for its eventful history. Timeless vignettes of life on the klongs coexist with architectural masterpieces and busy market scenes in Bangkok.

Writer William Warren succumbed to the allure of Thailand on his first visit and has lived there for over 40 years.
