The Monocle Travel Guide to Bangkok: Monocle Travel Guide Series: The Monocle Travel Guide Series: 06 Hardcover – Illustrated, 15 Sept. 2015

Purchase options and add-ons.

Bangkok is a city that welcomes visitors but is complex in both history and layout. There's a reason that people come back time and time again: this is not a place you can fully comprehend with just one trip.

The Thai capital is both socially tolerant and deeply conservative; its businesses are often friendly but difficult to find. It's a city where both an old monarchy and a young creative class find common ground.

In helping you navigate Bangkok's streets, Monocle will show you a city where business and design is thriving. Hidden in plain sight are great parks for running, architectural masterpieces designed by Thai firms, and hidden bars playing music you've never heard before.

And, of course, Monocle will tell you where to head for the city's famous street food, spa treatments, and hotels for both business and leisure (or a mix of the two). Even if you have been to Bangkok before, you re about to find out why there's so much more to discover.

I am a writer and photographer based in Lisbon, Portugal.

My images have been published in magazines, newspapers, books and websites including the BBC, Bon Appétit, CNN Travel, Condé Nast Traveler, Culinary Backstreets, Dill, Eater, Lonely Planet, Los Angeles Times, Lucky Peach, National Geographic, the New York Times, Olive, PUNCH, Saveur, Time, TASTE, Travel + Leisure, VICE, The Wall Street Journal Asia and the Washington Post.

I write and photograph for Lonely Planet and have contributed text and photos to more than 30 guidebooks and trade books.

I took the photos for all of Andy Ricker’s Pok Pok books: Pok Pok, The Drinking Food of Thailand and Pok Pok Noodles (10 Speed Press).

The Food of Northern Thailand (Clarkson Potter), which I wrote and photographed, was a finalist for the 2019 James Beard Foundation Book Awards and shortlisted for the 2019 Art of Eating Prize. Early 2024 will see the release of its successor, The Food of Southern Thailand, on W. W. Norton & Company.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Monocle Travel Guide To Bangkok

Bangkok is a city both liberal and traditional, where outsiders are always welcome but few can gain a true understanding of the capital’s intricacies. Bangkok: The Monocle Travel Guide will steer you to our favorite hotels and retailers, lesser-known neighborhoods, tasty restaurants, and street-side bars where Bangkok’s bright young things party until the early hours.

The Monocle Travel Series reveals our favourite places in each city we cover, from the ideal route for an early-morning run to the best spots for independent retail. Full of surprises and quirks, they also feature detailed design and architecture pages, neighbourhood walks to get you away from the crowds and our favourite places to eat, be it tasty fast food or something truly celebratory.

The Bangkok guide will show you a city that welcomes visitors as well as being complex in both history and layout. Even if you have been before, you’re about to find out why there’s so much more to discover.

Bangkok: The Monocle Travel Guide from Gestalten on Vimeo .

If you’re a world traveler, the word “preparation” is one of the most important things going on in your mind. Thanks to The Monocle Travel Guide, if you happen to be venturing out to Bangkok, Thailand anytime soon, you’re trip potential has just been heightened. Bangkok has been a popular attraction for those who crave adventure for centuries. A strong sense of food, retail and marketing forces are seen throughout many areas of Bangkok that highlight designers, chefs, entrepreneurs and more. Providing a large amount of history is something the city of Bangkok can take pride in and its new path of culture and design is set to keep respected traditions alive. Food options are plentiful with many independent and fine dining restaurants. Lastly, Bangkok’s retail department is impressive also as you have your fair share of shops that express ideas and also give the city a tasteful aesthetic. Peep the video above for more of what the city of Bangkok has to offer.
