Here’s an excerpt from my new book about Bangkok that is now available to order at Amazon.com or at Amazon.se:

“I vividly recall being overwhelmed by the intense traffic, the cacophony of street vendors, tuk-tuks, and motorcycles, and the vibrant street life. Everywhere I looked, something was happening – food vendors, bustling market stalls, and locals going about their day, all set against the backdrop of temples and towering skyscrapers. The heat and humidity were overwhelming, but the Thai capital’s energy was intoxicating and addictive.

Even now, nearly four decades later, each visit to Bangkok continues to inspire me. I’ve watched the city evolve over time, with new, transformative projects rising amidst ancient neighborhoods. Bangkok’s unique blend of old and new never ceases to fascinate me.

This book is not your typical guidebook. Instead, it provides a visual taste of what you can expect when you visit Bangkok – a sensory introduction to its contrasting impressions, from the lively street markets to the peaceful sanctuaries of its golden temples. My intention is not to tell you where to go, but rather to offer a glimpse of what makes this city so captivating, allowing you to immerse yourself in its vibrancy – before you even set foot there!”
