This fully illustrated history is divided geographically according
to the sequence of succeeding Thai kingdoms. Each section follows a
historical chronology, covering accounts of major events during
each reign, with an assessment of the character of individual kings
and their particular achievements, together with those of other
major players. This record of events is blended with descriptive
passages about monuments surviving today that are relevant to and
help illuminate the history. Political development is thus
paralleled by Thailand's cultural development, especially in
relation to the religious and royal architecture. Thailand's
historical progression has been complex, and although the
foundations of national identity - religion and monarchy in
particular - were established in the earliest days of statehood
dating back to the 13th century, it is only in comparatively recent
times that all elements - social, political, cultural and
linguistic - have cohered into what is recognizable today as Thai
and Thailand. By linking the text to existing landmarks the history
provides both an enjoyable read in its own right and a fascinating
guide to the monuments and buildings that visitors can see on their
travels around the country.
