Giant, sprawling Bangkok, the most heavily-visited city on earth, is a
treasure trove of palaces, museums and Buddhist shrines, superb shopping
(for every conceivable product and gift), famous hotels and outstanding
restaurants and street food. It also is one of the world's most
difficult cities to navigate, so we employed Mick Shippen, who has lived
in and reported on Bangkok for the past decade, to create this
innovative book. Combining maps, photos and detailed itineraries it
helps visitors plan their time in the most efficient, smart and fun ways
possible. The book includes:
- Chapters on the best of Bangkok in one, two, or three days
- Thematic, self-guided tours for every interest, schedule, and taste
- Walking tours of the city's best-loved neighborhoods
- Hundreds of evocative photos
- Bulleted maps that show you how to get from place to place
- Candid, opinionated hotel, restaurant, shopping, and nightlife reviews
for all budgets
- A tear-resistant foldout map--enclosed in a handy plastic wallet you
can also use for tickets and souvenirs
