Bangkok Found

Bangkok Found

Evocative and incisive, Bangkok Found looks deep within traditional culture to discover how Bangkok is like no other contemporary city. Itâ€™s the book you read after youâ€™ve seen the temples and enjoyed the nightlife â€“ and then start to wonder where the mysterious appeal of Bangkok really lies.

With wit and a wealth of anecdotes from Kerrâ€™s thirty years of experience in Thailand, Bangkok Found, sequel to his award-winning Lost Japan, takes you on a journey to the essential and the quirky, the factual and the mythical.

In this series of meditations on the city, old culture meets global fusion in the crossroads that is Bangkok.

The tourism authority promotes the cityâ€™s less noticed sights as â€˜Unseen Bangkokâ€™. Alex addresses another dimension: â€˜Unthought Bangkokâ€™.
Philip Cornwel-Smith, author of Very Thai: Everyday Popular Culture

Firm. Trustworthy. You can depend on this book. But while it gently massages your mind, be prepared for unexpected electric shocks.
Vithi Phanichphant, Professor of Chiangmai University

Behind the faÃ§ade of Bangkok, hidden wheels are turning. An eye opener for Thais and foreigners alike.
