Lanna - Thailand's Northern Kingdom By Michael Freeman Thailand only achieved its present form in the nineteenth century. Before, for over 500 years, there flourished the independent kingdom of Lanna ('One million rice fields'), stretching north from Phitsanulok to Chiang Rai, east to present-day Laos and as far west as Burma. Over the centuries Lanna developed a distinctive art, architecture, language and culture. Michael Freeman has an in-depth knowledge of Northern Thailand. Arranging the guide along the main river valleys, he creates an indispensable companion to this beautiful region. Paperback
