Rough Guides are designed to be good to read and easy to use.

The front color section introduces Bangkok, suggesting when to go and what not to miss, followed by a full list of conents. Then comes basics, for pre-departure information and other practicalities.

The guide chapters cover each area of Bangkok in depth. The excursions chapter   describes attractions futher out of the city, and the listings section gives you the low down on everything from accommodation to shopping.

The contexts section fills you in on history, religion, art and architecture, and reviews the best books on Bangkok, while language gives you enough Thai to get by.

Colour maps covering the city can be found at the back of the book.
