Exploring Bangkok : An Architectural and Historical Guidebook


Robin Ward

Exploring Bangkok has eight tours —some walkable, others by skytrain,  metro and Chao Phraya riverboat—which make sense of the city’s  complexity and reveal its  variety of outstanding buildings, from the breathtaking to the bizarre.

There are historic gems built by Chakri monarchs, glittering Buddhist temples, glitzy shopping malls, Italianate palazzi, Art Nouveau villas, Chinese shophouses, the Robot Building and modernist and Roman-style skyscrapers.

The book’s lively and authoritative text explains who built them, when and why. More than 300  buildings and structures are illustrated and described, featured for their architectural excellence, historical significance or because they represent design trends, development or social change. Exploring Bangkok is the perfect companion for curious visitors, architectural enthusiasts, designers and residents.
