Bangkok Inside Out by Daniel Ziv and Guy Sharett Put aside those clich?d tourist brochures with their exoticized musings on smiling Thai people, golden temples and 'authentic' floating markets. Forget those trashy expos?s of go-go bars and sex shows. The authors of Bangkok Inside Out take readers on a humorous, no-holds-barred journey through the real Bangkok - a fascinating, chaotic 21st. century Southeast Asian city that rarely slows down to explain itself. It's a journey that focuses on Bangkokians in their urban landscape, on life along the city's backstreets and on its powerful pop culture. "Bangkok Inside Out turns the traditional guidebook genre on its head. A zany compilation of in-your-face visual/verbal snapshots of life in the chaotic Thai capital... It's no mean feat to introduce and encapsulate a pop phenomenon in so few words and be funny at the same time. Required reading for visitors, longtime residents and anyone anywhere interested in what makes Thailand tick." Asian Wall Street Journal "A well-written book that offers readers a visceral and informative tour through the City of Angels." Bangkok Post "Probably the most authentic Bangkok book that you will see on the shelves..." Pattaya Mail Paperback
