Bangkok is a city that welcomes visitors but is complex in both history and layout.
Designed to be compact and collectable, they are also discerning
Monocle\'s team won\'t list a hundred places to eat but they will tell you where\'s best for everything from some tasty fast food to something truly celebratory..
These are books that go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure you get the best out of a city--no matter how short your stay.
That information is now available in Monocle\'s Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to you in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets.
As its Edited bys and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar.
Monocle reports from around the globe in print, on radio, and online.
Even if you have been to Bangkok before, you\'re about to find out why there\'s so much more to discover.
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).
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.
In helping you navigate Bangkok\'s streets, Monocle will show you a city where business and design is thriving.
It\'s a city where both an old monarchy and a young creative class find common ground.
The Thai capital is both socially tolerant and deeply conservative; its businesses are often friendly but difficult to find.
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.
