I began publishing books to represent Thai architecture when I saw architecture books representing Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. There were no books on Thai architecture. That was embarrassing. I wanted to show that Thais can design for the world ,too. we don't have much stunning architecture because we are not a wealthy country. Thais build houses and buildings to live in. We don't really care about luxury. We don't invest much money in architecture like Singapore.We still have so many people living in slums.
