The Bangkok Story, an Historical Guide to the Most Exciting City in the World (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.

"Jonathan Copeland lifts the lid on the planet's most captivating metropolis - every page offers the reader a highly delicious serving that will keep you coming back for more and more!"

Vinder Balbir, owner of Mrs Balbir's Indian Restaurant, Bangkok

"My favourite book about my favourite city"

Stephanie Brookes, Travel Writer

"When I step out the door, The Bangkok Story is my constant companion."

Gavin Gough, freelance travel photographer based in Bangkok

"The Bangkok Story - like the great city itself - is irresistible."

Dr Rob Goodfellow,
author, journalist, researcher and academic
