A fascinating and diverse collection of travel writings from visitors to Bangkok 1895-1935. Richly illustrated with contemporary artwork and photographs. In Bangkok is a collection of texts which reflect the foreign experience of Siam's capital at a time of often unsettling change, the foreigners in question being both long-term residents and short-term visitors. They lead us along Bangkok's great river and its klongs, through its palaces and wats, and along its grand boulevards and commercial streets clogged with traffic. We learn how foreigners lived and worked in the city, or how they explored it as tourists.
