Description: Take a series of unforgettable strolls down the back lanes of historic Bangkok! Bangkok is one of the world's greatest cities and a leading tourist destination, visited by millions each year. But it can be a bewildering place also. First-time visitors, not knowing what to expect, encounter endless boulevards connected by a vast maze of tiny side streets. A stroll down any of these lanes can reveal fascinating surprises--beautiful palaces and mansions, shophouses and shrines, restaurants and markets. But how to find your way through the maze? "22 Walks in Bangkok" helps you discover hidden gems found throughout the city by presenting each neighborhood as a distinct village.
