Designed for discerning travelers, it blends practical business and leisure advice with cultural insights, highlighting hidden gems from architecture to nightlife. Perfectly compact and curated by Monocle’s expert correspondents, this guide goes beyond typical tourist spots to help you experience the city like a local. ## Description Bangkok is a city that welcomes visitors but is complex in both history and layout. There’s a reason that people come back time and time again: this is not a place you can fully comprehend with just one trip. The Thai capital is both socially tolerant and deeply conservative; its businesses are often friendly but difficult to find. It’s a city where both an old monarchy and a young creative class find common ground. In helping you navigate Bangkok’s streets, Monocle will show you a city where business and design is thriving. Hidden in plain sight are great parks for running, architectural masterpieces designed by Thai firms, and hidden bars playing music you’ve never heard before. And, of course, Monocle will tell you where to head for the city’s famous street food, spa treatments, and hotels for both business and leisure (or a mix of the two). Even if you have been to Bangkok before, you’re about to find out why there’s so much more to discover. Monocle reports from around the globe in print, on radio, and online. As its editors and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar. That information is now available in Monocle’s Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to you in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets. These are books that go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure you get the best out of a city—no matter how short your stay. Designed to be compact and collectable, they are also discerning; Monocle’s team won’t list a hundred places to eat but they will tell you where’s best for everything from some tasty fast food to something truly celebratory. Review: Love it - Great useful information Review: Excellent and entertaining guidebook - Terrific guide book that is filled with fun facts and good tips. I was in Bangkok for 2.5 weeks and this proved very informational. We were able to find the more "touristy" places like the Grand Palace and Jim Thompson house (Especially great if you only want a short tour and time to explore) as well as the more unique places like record stores (Prepare yourself, they are not cheap!) and bars. ## Features - Binding: Hardcover - Colour: Full - Pages: 148 - Language: English ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,469,732 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #66 in Bangkok Travel Guides #197 in General Thailand Travel Guides #2,543 in General Travel Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 32 Reviews | ## Images ![Bangkok: The Monocle Travel Guide Series - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X+4eQ9e2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by C***E on March 24, 2026* Great useful information ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and entertaining guidebook *by S***G on April 3, 2017* Terrific guide book that is filled with fun facts and good tips.

However, mostly recommendations for pricey and/or expensive places and experiences. No surprise. But if that's not your thing, there are still useful tips and it's much nicer than almost every other guide. And not that pricey itself, comparatively. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Monocle Travel Guide to Bangkok: The Monocle Travel Guide Series (Monocle Travel Guide, 6) - The Monocle Travel Guide to Singapore: The Monocle Travel Guide Series - The Monocle Travel Guide to Hong Kong (Updated Version) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/22605208-bangkok-the-monocle-travel-guide-series](https://www.desertcart.is/products/22605208-bangkok-the-monocle-travel-guide-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
