Publisher's Synopsis
In Thailand a culture clash takes place, and it seems like the West has won the battle against the East. And yet - still one can find the old Thai-culture at unexpected places. Not the light and sound spectacles, but traditions that survived hundreds of years and also Santa Claus, Valentine's Day and the Internet. The photographs of Josef Polleroß evoke memories of that culture that to some were lost. But they are there. We are only blinded by the modern brightness and glamour. The collection of photos by Josef Polleroß is remarkable. They do not belittle the country's culture nor do they deride its people. They are honest.
