Product Description
In recent years, Bangkok’s image has been transformed from that of a chaotic free-for-all into a confident city brimming with design and sophistication — but one that still retains a vibrant street life rarely seen in the developed world. This comprehensive travel guide chronicles the city’s new identity, dynamic popular culture, exciting clubs and restaurants, and rich cultural heritage, as well as its gorgeous nearby beaches. Bangkok’s lively gay and lesbian scene is covered in depth.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Time Out Bangkok: And Beach Ecsapes (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)
I was a little skeptical using a Time Out guide for the first time, but I must admit that this guide led us to numerous local eateries that were absolutely fantastic. We used the "eating" section to choose 4 local places for dinner and we were handsomely rewarded with great food, at cheap prices, from local places that we never would have found on our own. While the maps are a little lacking (they don't mark restaurants on a map - this might be changed in the newer edition), we were able to find these "hole-in-the-wall" places with excellent food. I visited Bangkok for three days and found this guide, along with a local map, sufficient. However, I did miss some of the details and background descriptions that are provided in longer guides. The food section alone makes this guide worthwhile for anyone looking to take advantage of the great local food that Bangkok has to offer.
