Book excerpt: A stunning collection of photographs of the LGBTQ community in Thailand, from one of the world’s most renowned photographers Steve McCurry is the artist behind some of the most iconic images in contemporary photography. His 1984 portrait of Sharbat Gula (“the Afghan girl”) on the cover of National Geographic remains widely recognized to this day. Now McCurry turns his attention to Thailand as part of a series of photobooks on LGBTQ communities around the world. Thailand has long had the reputation as one of the most gay-friendly destinations in Asia, particularly Bangkok with its nightlife and its relative openness and safety. While this may be true for tourists and expats, the idea of Thailand as a haven for LGBTQ people and for same-sex couples, heavily promoted by the tourist industry, does not necessarily extend to Thais themselves. While Thailand is home to the largest LGBTQ communities in Asia, the reality for them is less accepting. Discrimination and exclusion targeting LGBTQ people continues despite a nominally progressive stance on inclusion, and same-sex marriage remains illegal. Against this backdrop, McCurry’s lushly colored photographs take us into the vibrant LGBTQ community in Bangkok, and this beautifully packaged, affordably priced book gives us a series of close to one hundred moving and intimate portraits of people who are no longer welcome in the community in which they grew up, but who have forged a new life and a new meaning of family in the queer community. Belonging was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some years ago, when I first encountered Bangkok, I remember constantly staring at people's faces. Such a variety of faces, so many "looks," so many skintones, so many shapes and sizes. It was as if I was looking at a visual record of the last two thousand years of Mainland Southeast Asia's incredibly complex history of people, relationships and constant movement. It seemed every available DNA/Gene element in the world had, at one time or another, found its way to the great Thai trading centers of Ayutthaya and Bangkok where they all eventually blended together. The geographic space known today as Thailand has always been a crossing point, a center of interaction, a kind of international vortex where almost all the people, cultures, religion, beliefs and behaviours in the entire world have collided, mixed and mingled. Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Malaysian, Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, Burmese, Indians, Arabs, Iranians, Mongolians and Europeans. Hoping to capture some of this visual splendor, to preserve it, to learn it, I started doing this series of pencil/graphite portraits. Nothing too ambitious or spectacular or wild. Just trying to record what was there in a kind of simple realistic style. Later on, I veered away from realism into distortion and crazy colors, which I felt better conveyed the actual ambiance and feeling of nightime Bangkok and all its rich variety of characters and extreme situations. These early portraits were my starting point.......

Book excerpt: This volume provides an overview of Thailand's rich artistic variety. Art found in Thailand (previously named Siam) stretches over more than two millennia. Of great importance and of special interest is a long and intimate relationship between Thailand and India of cultures and artistic traditions, Buddhist and Hindu. The book spans the fourth-nineteenth centuries, from the earliest Indian-related art up until the modern Bangkok period. Though widely studied, the art history of Thailand today is highly contentious and revisionist, and the articles here present recent research and opinions. The study of art from Thailand has progressed rapidly in the last decades. Scholars have new things to say, new theories, new dating, new ideas regarding artistic relationships and influences. This volume is timely as it presents writers who are involved in this rethinking. They include senior scholars and promising young academics.

Impressive monuments and romantic ruins mark the influences of long-gone empires. Intriguing archeological discoveries have been made in the northeast. Skilled artisans practise their crafts in the cool mountain regions of the north. The stunning scenery of the south forms a dramatic backdrop for its eventful history. Timeless vignettes of life on the klongs coexist with architectural masterpieces and busy market scenes in Bangkok. Artist Taveepong Limapornvanich truly captures the essence of Thailand in these watercolours and sketches. Writer William Warren succumbed to the allure of Thailand on his first visit and has lived there for over 40 years.

Book excerpt: Essential Desires: Contemporary Art in Thailand is the first major, fully illustrated survey of Thai art in thirty years. Brian Curtin shows how Thai artists negotiated their emergence on the global art stage while dealing with pan-Asian regionalism and nationalism at home. This book traces the influences on contemporary Thai artists, from the impact of consumerism in Bangkok in the 1990s to the waning legacies of tradition, and their relationship to the nation's often-volatile political stage. Curtin, in his exploration of Thailand's fascinating art scene, shows how Thai artists are generating new ideas about their country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase "Bangkok Night" refers to the huge, colorful and boisterous Night Entertainment Spectacle that takes place each and every night in the city of Bangkok, sprawling across miles and miles of this huge modern Metropolis, and catering to millions of people of every background, ethnicity and income level from all over Thailand, Asia and the World. Among the many things that I have always found interesting while spending time in the Bangkok Night is the vast variety of people and faces that one encounters just wandering about through any random selection of night venues drawn from the tens of thousands of Bangkok cafes, restaurants, music clubs, executive clubs, bars, KTV's, Hostess bars, discos, pool halls, After Hours clubs and street markets. During a night out in Bangkok, one can cross paths and interact with people from many countries, speaking many languages, of every ethnicity, age, skintone, professional level, attitude, religion, philosophy, point of view and destiny. In addition to the tasty food, multiple overlapping music tracks, vibrant colors and infinite variety of faces....the relaxed and friendly ambiance...the neon intensity....the density of hundreds of thousands of people moving about in close quarters, lit up, excited and eager, the fragrant smoke from ten thousands of street stalls drifting through the warm tropical air. But in addition to being an actual place with actual people, the Bangkok Night is also, in my view, an Idea. a kind of Metaphor for the World in general and the State of Humanity in our Present Era. The portraits in this book reflect this point of view and are a mixture of actual people I have encountered wandering around in the Bangkok Night as well as actual people I have imagined wandering around in the Bangkok Night and entirely imaginary people who I imagine would be at home in the Bangkok Night.

Book excerpt: December thru February 2011, one of Bangkok's trendiest upscale nightclubs, Bed Supperclub, was the setting for my "Portraits from the Bangkok Night" show.An average of about 500 people a night for 3 months, about 50,000 people in all, viewed the show. Unlike a traditional art gallery which gets a crowd on the Opening Night and then only a few people in the days after that.Bed Supperclub's stylish nightclub-style lighting which included a little bit of Black Light gave the portraits a lovely florescent glow, perfect for creating the ambiance of the Bangkok Night.It was great to see my paintings being enjoyed "in" the Bangkok Night, as part of the Bangkok Night, not just as paintings "of" the Bangkok Night....

Book excerpt: Researched from a diverse and extensive source materials (including directories, documents in city archives, newspapers, field notes, postcards, etc.) Unseen Siam. 'Early Photography 1860-1910' reveals the careers of 15 lesser-unknown early photographers who worked in Siam, many of whom became court photographer to the then ruling King of Siam. Their work was not only restricted to their photographic cartes-de-visite, as is usually the case, but also large sized images from attributable albums and portfolios. Each reproduced photograph is fully catalogued and thus in many cases discloses the name of the photographer of some otherwise well-known images for the first time. Many of the previously unpublished photographs in this first comprehensive English-language overview of early photography in Siam (Thailand) are not on general view. There is also an extensive bibliography. AUTHOR: Dr. Joachim K. Bautze, art-historian, has taught at the universities of Heidelberg, Tokyo and Berlin. He has guest-curated exhibitions of Indian art in Europe and the U.S.A. He has written, contributed to, or edited, a number of books, catalogues and articles on South- as well as South-east Asian art and photography. 500 b/w photography

Book excerpt: "A house in the center of Bangkok becomes the point of confluence where lives are shaped by upheaval, memory, and the lure of home. Witness to two centuries' flux in one of the world's most restless cities, a house plays host to longings and losses past, present, and future. A nineteenth-century missionary doctor pines for the comforts of New England even as he finds the vibrant foreign chaos of Siam increasingly difficult to resist. A post-war society woman marries, mothers, and holds court, little suspecting the course of her future. A jazz pianist is summoned in the 1970s to conjure music that will pacify resident spirits, even as he's haunted by ghosts of his former life. Not long after, a young woman gives swimming lessons in the luxury condos that have eclipsed the old house, trying to outpace the long shadow of her political past. And in the post-submergence Bangkok of the future, a band of savvy teenagers guides tourists and former residents past waterlogged, ruined landmarks, selling them tissues to wipe their tears for places they themselves do not remember. Time collapses as these stories collide and converge, linked by blood, memory, yearning, chance, and the forces voraciously making and remaking the amphibian, ever-morphing city itself"--Provided by publisher.
