Zen, calming, mystical, and meditative—these words barely capture the allure of Asia's most stunning interiors. From a gilded Tibetan monastery to a serene plantation in Sri Lanka or a private villa in Thailand, each place highlighted in this book offers not only striking beauty but also a rich spirit. The collection showcases around 40 extraordinary sites across Tibet, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Notable features include traditional Burmese stilt houses, the magnificent Shiv Niwas Palace in India famously visited by James Bond in "Octopussy," majestic Cambodian temples, a rice barge converted into a houseboat in Thailand, the exquisite "Blue Mansion," a striking indigo-painted courtyard house seen in the film "Indochine," a stunning garden crafted by the renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, and countless others.
