Nancy Chandler - Best Map of Bangkok

nancychandler.jpgDescribed 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 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 and MRT subway station is. The map is accompanied by an 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.
