I bought this book because I really like Thai culture. I travel often to Thailand because this destination has been part of my destinations for many years that stimulate my inspiration and personal growth. All aspects related to this country are a source of research for me. So when I saw that book as a book proposal on Amazon, I didn't hesitate to buy it. For a long time I wanted to know a little more about the sacred Sak Yant tattoos. And in this work I have found what I was looking for. By temperament I am quite structured so when I started reading that book and from the beginning I liked it because it has a logical structure of presentation of that topic. The structure is solid, the author exhausts each example that he proposes with an explanation that provides sufficient information about each tattoo presented. This book has saved me from doing many searches on the subject. It brings together the necessary information for anyone who wants to know more about the mystique of those tattoos that are more than tattoos of course. Reading it has also helped me, as a person who comes from Western culture, to obtain a broad base of knowledge in that area in case I one day decide to investigate more about the subject or go try to design one of these powerful symbols on my skin. I think the author has done a good job, being for me in this case "a bridge" of first-hand access between my culture and Thai culture in that domain. Thank you for the experience, which is highly recommended if the subject resonates with you!
