The Bangkok Story, an Historical Guide to the Most Exciting City in the World

The Bangkok Story traces the history of Bangkok up to the present day, and describes and places the main buildings in the city in context, to explain to the visitor their meaning and relevance, something that the usual guide books do not cover. There are a lot of places and museums not mentioned in other books. There are directions on how to find them and their opening hours. The book is illustrated with over 400 colour photographs.
