A Brief History of Thailand: Monarchy, War and Resilience: The Fascinating Story of the Gilded Kingdom at the Heart of Asia (Brief History of Asia Series)

A great reading; sad to see it is no longer available !

Update 9/25/22: Deleted ebook from Kindle and re-uploaded. All regular Kindle formatting options are now available. Will update my review once I finish the whole book.Original Review:Kindle version is more like a PDF in that you cannot adjust the font style or size. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until after the refund window. Only made it through the first chapter before giving up trying to read more. Too tedious to read the Kindle version of this book. Trying to get a refund so I can purchase the paperback instead.

This book is definitely a must read for anyone planning a trip to Thailand; it is well written and an kept my interest throughout the entire read.

This book is so bad that it would be funny if it wasn’t supposed to be useful as a travel guide. This is 49 very short pages of text and pictures that have been lifted straight from standard internet travel pages about Thailand. Laughably bad. I strongly believe that the author has never been to Bangkok or Chiang Mai. He would not need to be in order to copy content from hotels.com or trip savvy.com, both of which are cited as main sources for the book. DO NOT BUY!

This looks well written from the bits I have read but it has NOT been formatted for kindles i.e. none of kindle features (dictionary, highlighting, changing the font size). Basically unreadable as a kindle ebook.

Very well written and succinct overview of the Thai nation. Recommended!
