Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Preserves the folklore of sacred sites in the mountains of northern Thailand. The mountains of northern Thailand inspire fear and awe, respect and love, curiosity and creative imagination. Drawing on the legendary histories of three mountains in the region--Doi Ang Salung Chiang Dao, Doi Suthep, and Doi Kham--this book explores the various ways that mountains in northern Thailand are seen as sacred space, and therefore as an environment to be respected rather than exploited.
