Bangkok is one of the world's most well-known tourist destinations. Travellers are fascinated by its art and cultural diversity, as well as its colourful street life which is tied to day and night activity such as dining, shopping and sightseeing. The city's skyline is shaped by a wide range of architectural styles evident in palaces, temples, historic buildings and modern skyscrapers. In spite of the fact that these structures represent the architecture of different eras, they co- exist harmoniously and, at the same time, add spice to a visit to Bangkok. However, up to now these have never been well documented in any guidebooks on Bangkok. This guide is the very first walking guide for experiencing architecture and the city of Bangkok. It is a map-based guide to notable architecture which has been the recipient of architectural design awards by the ASA. The guide divides this architectural compilation into three categories: Art and Architectural Conservation, Architectural Design and Green Architecture. All buildings are listed geographically within the areas and neighbourhoods which readers may wish to visit, regardless of the historic period in which they were built. Whether you are a Bangkok citizen or a visitor with a limited amount of time on your hands, you will find this guide to be a true travel companion which takes you on an unforgettable journey to explore what the city has to offer.
