With the aid of maps, listings and references, the visitor can engage with Bangkok''s contradictory character according to their mood or interest.
Explore the city''s contrasting environments, architectural fabric, ethnic patchwork and intertwined beliefs. Encounter distinct social scenes, where the hip or hi-so, local or bohemian and see how traditional roots infuse the current Thai flowering in arts and entertainments, fashion and food lifestyle and spas. Photography by Philip Cornwel-Smith and others enhances this insiders'' guide to a city like no other.
