Invaluable Map. Get it before you leave for Thailand.
This is an excellent map of Bangkok and has everything you need for a smooth trip to the hectic city.
The map and accompanying guide are very detailed and give excellent recommendations on things like shopping, bars, restaurants and sightseeing. The map of Chatuchak Market is especially useful, as every first time visitor to Bangkok simply has to go there.
The style of the map is different to any other map you'll see, and even appeals to female travellers!
In summary, this map is known the world over as the best map of this exciting and vibrant city. Don't travel to Bangkok without it.

other travellers will become envious when they see this map.
This map and the one of chiang mai was more useful to me the lonely planet guide.its not a traditional map-jam packed with information.I cant say it was 100% accurate since shops and commercial premises are bound to rapidly change;having said that a ridiculous number of shops/restaraunts and phone numbers were incorrect in lonely planet despite buying the latest one.However I emailed nancy chandler maps and got the info i needed in detail which astounded me as i just emailed to complain expecting no response.you'd be daft not to get this map!Invaluable.

Essential Guide To Bangkok
Found this map to be invaluable as I travelled around Bangkok. Especially its excellent information as to where to go and see and also for the information it provides as to the good places to shop.

Would have been lost without it!
