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.

About the Author:

Philip Cornwel-Smith has lived in Bangkok since 1994, when he became founding editor of the city's first listings magazine Bangkok Metro. He wrote the bestselling book 'Very Thai: Everyday Popular Culture' about which he is now curating a museum exhibition. His next book, 'Pop Bangkok: Modern Thai Subcultures' will be published in Autumn 2007. Philip edited the first two editions of Time Out Bangkok and was an editor on the very first Time Out guidebook, to London in 1989.

Review:

"It's a guidebook that could rest as easily on a native or expat's coffee table as in the hands of a well-travelled out-of-town visitor... Time Out Bangkok is a far better lend-out to guests than rivals such as Lonely Planet which don't sound nearly as fresh." Bangkok Post "Selected as best Bangkok guidebook" The Sunday Times "...oozes authority by managing to corral the capital's restless energy, and offers far more than any other guide in range and diversity - and most importantly it's bang up to date...Just buy it." The Nation
