About the book

Another Bangkok by Alex Kerr is a history book. The essential book for anyone visiting Bangkok - a wonderful mixture of history and culture - from the author of Lost Japan One of Asia's most extraordinary cities, Bangkok is also one of the most baffling.

It is filled with remarkable people and glittering golden palaces and temples, but is also a maze of concrete and twisting overhead utility wires. Alex Kerr has spent over thirty years of his life living in Bangkok and is uniquely qualified to write about it. As with his bestselling books on Japan ( Lost Japan and Another Kyoto ), he revels in the secret, tucked-away corners, the great contemporary artists and the sheer wonder of so many aspects of Thai dance and design. While deploring the loss of much of old Bangkok, he is never merely nostalgic for a past but finds inspiration in Thailand's dynamic modern fusions. Another Bangkok will delight both those who think they know the city well and those visiting for the first time.
