Synopsis

The sixth volume in the series, The National Parks and Other Wild Places of Thailand describes and illustrates the major protected areas and other wild regions of the entire country. From the endless forests and exotic mammals of Huai Kha Khaeng - a world heritage site - to the hidden islands and teeming reefs of southern coastal parks like Ang Thong, this evocative exploration of Thailand's parks and wilderness areas brings to life the country's natural splendour. Individual colour maps show each area's main features, and visitor information panels provide full details on practicalities and activities. The highlights of each area are given comprehensive coverage throughout the book and the introduction provides a fascinating summary of Thailand's geography, biology and conservation history.
