500 Amazing Pictures of Southeast Asia
Timen Swijtink recently launched an excellent website called in my All Stars, a site dedicated to exploring "experience traveling." During the summer of 2006, Swijtink spent 10 weeks "experience traveling" through Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Over the past 2 months, he's been sorting through the 6000 photos he took and assembling them into a book. Unfortunately, he only printed 3 copies of the book -- one for his mom; one for showing people; and one for posterity. For the rest of us, Swijtink has made his book available for free in PDF format.
Swijtink's book is an excellent cultural immersion in a part of the world that's still somewhat mysterious. Filled with his 500 best images of people, sunsets, street vendors, cityscapes, and vistas, the book is an extraordinary look at a part of the world many people have yet to visit. I highly recommend downloading and looking through the book. It's incredible.

For more amazing photos of Southeast Asia from the 1920s, see any of the books by Harry A. Franck, one of the original "experience travelers". "East of Siam" was published in 1926, and is regularly available in used bookstores. For a hint of what I'm talking about, see http://www.harryafranck.com/EastofSiam.htm.
