Product Description

Described by top guidebooks and travel writers as "the best tourist map of Bangkok", "an indispensable guide" and "the very best resource", Nancy Chandler's colorful, handlettered Map of Bangkok (now in its 23nd edition) includes detailed area maps of not just Central Bangkok but also Greater Bangkok, the Central Shopping Area, Chatuchak Weekend Market, Chinatown, the backpacker's haven of Khao San and the more upmarket expatriate haven of Sukhumvit area, with clear indications of where each BTS skytrain station and MRT subway station is. The map is accompanied by a 72 page pocketbook size index including secrets rarely shared with visitors (for example, shops and sales supporting good causes, and dining tips "For the Sweet Tooth"). Bars are categorized by their crowds for those who want to befriend fun Thais, hang out with other travelers, meet expatriates, listen to live music, test the local brew pubs, support their rugby team at a sports bar, go pub crawling, or just enjoy a sunset drink atop a quiet riverside guesthouse. Restaurant listings include Nancy's favorites and contact details. Other listings include cooking classes, cinemas, hobbies, spas, sports, supermarkets, etc.

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!
