Bangkok's image has been transformed 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. This book chronicles this identity, its culture, and the contemporary faces of its traditions.
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
