About this book

The Rough Guide to Bangkok is the ultimate travel guide to the Thai capital, one of Asia's most fascinating and energetic cities. Discover Bangkok's highlights with clear maps, stunning photography and detailed coverage on everything from the iconic Wat Arun and legendary Thanon Khao San, to the intricate waterways of Thonburi and the further flung ancient capital of Ayutthaya. Comprehensive listings sections are packed with insider tips on the best places to eat, drink, shop and party in Bangkok, from 63rd-floor sky bars, indulgent spa retreats, and Downtown's swanky shopping plazas, to electrifying Thai boxing venues, Banglamphu's backpacker haunts and Chatuchak Weekend Market's glut of over eight thousand stalls.

Make the most of your holiday with The Rough Guide to Bangkok.
