    About this ebook

    Bangkok is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Famous for its food, shopping, and nightlife. It also has a rich European-influenced history, with some relics still remaining in the architecture of a variety of well-known tourist attractions, as well as a few that are off the beaten track.

    This do-it-yourself step-by-step guide is aimed at those who have a few days to spend discovering the charms of Bangkok and enjoy the challenge of independent sightseeing, mainly on foot. The nice aspect to this guide is that almost wherever you go when following it, there will be a food outlet, a restaurant, or a café where you can stop, rest, revive, and watch the Thai world go by while you plan your next move.

    By the time you’ve finished, you’ll probably know some parts of Bangkok better than the locals.
