Enchanted Land : Foreign Writings About Chiang Mai in the Early 20th Century Hardback

Description

A century ago, northern Thailand (or Siam as it was then known) was home to small communities of Westerners, many of them British diplomats and foresters (like Reginald Le May and Reginald Campbell) or American missionaries (like Lucy Starling and Mary Lou O'Brien).

Though few in number, they left behind a considerable written legacy.

The writing is invariably personal and often vivid, describing their hopes and aspirations, the challenges they faced in their work and daily lives, and their attachment to this enchanted land.

This book makes a selection of that writing accessible to a wide readership, much of it for the first time.

The texts are illustrated by 65 evocative photographs, many of them contemporary.
