Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Travel Destination by James Baker (English) Paperback B

Description: Bangkok, Thailand by James Baker Bangkok, Thailand. Asian Travel Destination. A lot of first time visitors arent quite sure what to expect when first arriving in the capital of exotic Thailand, and some may be disappointed by their first impressions on the way into town endless high rise buildings, busy expressway flyovers and billboards of western companies advertising in English. Yet while Bangkok has undoubtedly embraced westernization and modernization, you only need to look a little under the surface to see that it remains undeniably a Thai place at heart. In between the skyscrapers and sophisticated shopping centers theres still the remarkable Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Dawn and many more. Traditions live on too: dont be surprised, for example, to find a large dedicated spirit house built for good luck alongside almost every major building, or to see files of Buddhist monks making their early morning alms round and its surely one of the only major cities in the world where seeing an elephant paraded round the streets hardly even ranks as being unusual. Until youve eaten on a Bangkok street, noodles mingling with your sweat amid a cloud of exhaust fumes, you havent actually eaten Thai food. It can be an intense mix: the base flavours spicy, sour, sweet and salty arent exactly meat and potatoes. But for adventurous foodies who dont need white tablecloths, theres probably no better dining destination in the world. And with immigration bringing every regional Thai and international cuisine to the capital, its also a truly diverse experience. And perhaps best of all, Bangkok has got to be one of the best-value dining destinations in the world. The language barrier can seem huge, but its never prevented anybody from getting along with the Thai people. The capitals cultural underpinnings are evident in virtually all facets of everyday life, and most enjoyably through its residents sense of fun (known in Thai as sà-nÙk). In Bangkok, anything worth doing.
