 Gets in the Groove September 5, 2008

This Groovy Bangkok Guide was brilliant. The reviews are to the point but also witty and I like the fact that the author lives in the city and has done all his life so you feel like he really knows where to go and whats right to do when you are in Bangkok. Most places are where he would take his own friends when they are in town. The best was the listing of all the shopping spots for stuff you want to buy but dont know where to go (silver, silk, jewelry, good gifts, markets) and also a pretty good listing for beauty salons and spas.
 Get it for the map, not the "guide"! January 14, 2008

I can't really understand the other reviews praising this map and guide. The map is a good one, yes. But the "guide" part is so highly opinionated that if you don't "groove" in the same track as the author, it's of no use. There is NOT a Thai phrase guide as indicated by another reviewer, only "Hello" and "Thanks"! There are also no monetary amounts (in any currency) attached to the pricing guide for restaurants (just a number of "$" with silly expressions like "You call this a bill" and "I got the last one"). What's expensive, or cheap, to one traveler might not be to another depending on the meaning of the symbols. Buy it for the map, but not for the guide!

This groovy map is the key to opening the amazing city of Bangkok. Unfold the map and you have the tour guide who doesn't get in the way, the buddy who knows all the right places to go, and the time of your life in the city that never sleeps. This map was everything I needed to know and all the places I wanted to go laid out in detailed, cartographic format. Use it with my book: Foreign Relations: A Comic Guide to Thai Ladies and be ready for a good time.

If you are traveling to or through Bangkok, do yourself a favor and get this guide! It highlights key places, has helpful hints to get around, and is laminated in a handy pocket size. We just moved to Bangkok and this map (and the pocket sized thai phrasebook) never leave my husband's pocket. So far all of the recommendations and hints on the map have been very accurate and good. By the way, an all-important aspect of this is it's in ENGLISH. Some maps aren't.
(You can read more glowing reviews for the older version of this map but BUY THIS EDITION! The updates make it worth it!)
