A Walking Tour: Bangkok Review
I had never thought of Bangkok as being a good city to walk in, what with the heat and the smells, the pollution and treacherous sidewalks, I preferred to use tuk-tuks, cycle cabs or even the canal boats, but this surprising little guidebook changed my mind about all of that! Apart from being useful and practical, it contains a wealth of odd little bits of information about some forgotten corners of the city as well as some really nice little sketches by the author himself. It's a real find.
