Second Edition. Discovering Thailand: A Guidebook by Achille Clarac and Michael Smithies, second edition published in 1972, offers a deeply personal and richly textured exploration of Thailand in a period just before the modern tourism boom would begin to reshape the country. More than a typical guidebook, it reads like a travelogue penned by two men who knew Thailand intimately and admired it deeply.Achille Clarac, a former French ambassador to Thailand, and Michael Smithies, a British educator with the British Council, brought together diplomatic insight and scholarly curiosity. What they created is a portrait of a country still largely unshaped by mass tourism, where tradition and modernity quietly coexisted. Their journey through Thailand-spanning from the pulse of Bangkok to the remote corners of the North and the sun-washed coasts of the South-is presented with both narrative warmth and practical guidance.Each region is brought to life through detailed descriptions, historical context, and Clarac's evocative black-and-white photography. These images, along with fold-out maps and drawings by Henri Pagau-Clarac, anchor the book visually-showing readers the temples, marketplaces, riverbanks, and faces of a Thailand often hidden from casual visitors.Rather than simply listing places to stay or things to see, Clarac and Smithies engage the reader in Thailand's cultural rhythms: Buddhist festivals, local crafts, architecture, street life, and regional cuisines are all woven into their account. Their writing is elegant and informed, capturing a nation in transition-still rooted in ancient customs yet quietly adapting to the 20th century.The physical book itself reflects this thoughtful tone. A compact yet sturdy hardcover, it was built for travel but crafted with care. Measuring roughly 15 cm in height, it includes over 450 pages, fold-out plates, and a cloth-bound cover with a dust jacket-a travel companion as refined as the prose within.Published in Bangkok by Siam Communications, this 1972 edition stands as both a practical guide and a cultural time capsule. For modern readers, it offers more than nostalgia-it offers insight into how Thailand appeared before global tourism redefined its image. In the hands of Clarac and Smithies, Thailand is not a checklist of attractions but a living, breathing world, presented with curiosity, respect, and genuine affection.This book is complete with dustjacket and all fold out maps in very good condition.…
