Michelin THE GREEN GUIDE Thailand, 2e

This title in the acclaimed Michelin Green Guide series is an indispensable guide to the natural and cultural attractions of Thailand : bustling Bangkok, spectacular northern mountains, tropical beaches and islands in the south, fertile rice-growing Chao Phraya basin and rural traditions of the Khorat plateau complemented by the glorious artistic heritage of the ancient capitals of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, and magnificent Khmer stone castles. The Buddhist tradition permeates all aspects of life and this is reflected in the gentle nature of the fun-loving Thai people. The colorful festivals and the pageantry of state occasions are memorable.
