I refer to this book often, as I have a fantastic interest in the theme of Habitual Thai Medicine. It is well written and ultimately gives the reader a sense of the right depth of history behind the medicine that preceded Western culture in Thailand. The tradition that shaped medicine in Thailand exists today and this book opens the reader’s eyes to its history, culture, and spirituality. That is what makes Thailand and its habitual medicine so unique.

I have a bookshelf full of esoteric books on Thai healing, culture and spirituality. Most of them are written in the language of academia to such an extent as to render fascinating theme matter into brain numbing boredom. Pierce Salguero successfully manges to be an adademic without bringing up the rear his passion for his theme, and without forgetting that someone might really want to delight in reading about it.
