Publisher's Synopsis
Thailand: 9 Days in the Kingdom Compact Edition is the smaller version of the commemorative photography book published for the Kings birthday in 2007. This stunning, pictorial volume showcased the work of 55 international and Thai photographers, who met in the kingdom in January 2007 for a week of photography all over the country. A unique set of talents was assembled, including photojournalists, high-tech photographers, wild life and undersea photographers, aerial photographers, landscape photographers, portraitists and specialists in a variety of techniques and styles. Each photographer was given a carefully selected assignment to match his/her talents and the editorial needs of the book. They captured every aspect of Thai life, commerce, industrial development and culture at this moment in its history, to create a unique photographic record of the nation. By the time the shoot was finished, they had delivered to the publisher over 80,000 digital images; and several thousand photos taken on film had been sent for processing. Thailand: 9 Days in the Kingdom showcases the best of these endeavours.
