The German author of this introduction to Bangkok sets out the likely experiences ahead for visitors to the city who go on any of the ten one-day excursions he has planned for interested foreign visitors. Dr Frei's enthusiasm and knowledge of things Thai mean that byways and some off-the-beaten track sights as well as well-frequented tourist centres will make memorable each of the tours detailed in this book. With reading suggestions and website details, phrase list, glossary, index, 49 colour photo plates, and a takeout street plan.
