Travel Guide
Bangkok
Bangkok during the monsoon season. The streets and market areas are chaotic and noisy. The sights, smells and tastes of the city are overwhelming and the expat scene right at the heart of it. Bangkok appears to be a maze of wonder and intrigue – and the fact that the streets are named so confusingly will help to show the mixed identity of this place
Sukhumvit road for example is described as “The neon artery of boozy expatriate life”. It’s also the street where Carl has his office in the Grand Sukhumvit Bangkok hotel.
A city in turmoil also due to its difficult political climate so the landscape is not one easy to get around. Written by an author who is an expat himself, you just know this is familiar if not exaggerated ground. Maybe not much in some cases..
