Dr. Lawrence Blair is a long-time Bali resident and internationally-acclaimed writer, presenter, producer, Emmy Award nominee, academic, explorer, adventurer.

Together with his late-brother Lorne, Lawrence created the amazing BBC series “Ring of Fire” tracing a ten-year epic journey across the Indonesian archipelago.  The Blair brothers’ 10-year adventure in the Indonesian archipelago is an unforgettable portrait of a 2,500-mile journey through the most remote, exotic and dangerous lands on earth.

Dr. Blair has been exploring Indonesia for more than 35 years where, both alone and together with his late brother, Lorne, he has filmed some of the remotest tribes and strangest creatures to appear on international television. He is widely sought after as both a lecturer for corporate conferences, and as a guide on private charter cruises to the wildest regions of S.E. Asia. He is best known for his and his brother’s classic tv series, and matching book: RING OF FIRE, and more recently for his five-part tv adventure series for SKY TV UK called MYTHS, MAGIC and MONSTERS, which walks the line between myth and science in its exploration of Indonesian exotica.
