Situated off the western coast of the Malay Peninsula, the island once known as 'Junkceylon' has seductive landscapes, unique cultural experiences and a variety of natural color that Bill Wassman's camera captures to an extraordinary degree. In more than 140 stunning color photographs, backed by the lucid and insightful writing of William Warren, Wassman brings us exquisite portraits and views of Phang Nga Bay, glorious beaches, Phuket's history and a host of other delights. Wassman's work is an absolute joy to experience as it celebrates the beauty of this lovely Thai island. In allowing readers to enter the world of Phuket, they show clearly why it continues to enchant and beguile all who visit her.
