Time Out Bangkok - 3rd Edition (Time Out Guides)

by TimeOutGuidesLtd (Author)

Synopsis

Bangkok's image has been transformed in the past few years, from the chaotic, sleazy, cliches of sensational headlines - into a confident city of design and sophistication - that still retains the kind of fun, vibrant streetlife seldom seen in the developed world. Time Out Bangkok chronicles this new identity, its dynamic popular culture, and the contemporary faces of its rich traditions. We provide keys to understanding this ancient, uncolonised civilisation at the point that it - to use Thai slang - 'goes inter' (international). *Sightseeing in Bangkok *Bangkok hotels *Bangkok restaurants *Bangkok bars *Bangkok shops *Bangkok maps *Thailand's best beaches

Media Reviews
It's a guidebook that could rest as easily on a native or expat's coffee table as in the hands of a well-travelled out-of-town visitor... Time Out Bangkok is a far better lend-out to guests than rivals such as Lonely Planet which don't sound nearly as fresh. Bangkok Post Selected as best Bangkok guidebook The Sunday Times ...oozes authority by managing to corral the capital's restless energy, and offers far more than any other guide in range and diversity - and most importantly it's bang up to date...Just buy it.
