VERY BANGKOK IN THE CITY OF THE SINSES

The world's most visited city finally gets the dynamic portrait it deserves. Vividly photographed by the author, Very Bangkok explores its kaleidoscopic facets, from street to chic, folk to pop, and ancient rites to sci-fi.

Experience Thailand's enigmatic capital through each sense. Go beyond the taste of its famous food to the sound of the city, the scent of the night, or the trance fo a tattoo shaman. Discover how beliefs shape the Thai sense of direction, time or colour.

The heart of the book navigates the tensions between creative chaos and dreams of order. Enter the subcultures of organic markets, youth tribes and ethnic roots. Find the patterns behind the wild reputation and see how the city portrays itself, through media, the arts and the Bangkok noir.

This is also a book about cities, which applies the latest' messy urban' thinking to this fast-changing tropical metropolis.
