Beautiful photographs bring the buildings to life in their environments, showing exterior and interior views, landscapes and seascapes, and detailed architectural features, leading to some extraordinary juxtapositions.

The ultimate photographic survey of lush, colourful, feel-good tropical style, and a celebration of the romance of life in Asia
