Nancy Chandler's Map of Bangkok, 25th Edition

by: Nancy Chandler and Nima Chandler
Just got back from Bangkok. I ended up with three sources of Bangkok info - two travel books and the Nancy Chandler map. Of the three, I found the Nancy Chandler map and guide by far the least useful. It has lists of all sorts of things, but no real detail. The one benefit is the map of the Chatuchak Market - it's not that good a map, but it's better than having no map for this huge open market. The DK Top 10 Bangkok coupled with the free map you can pick up at the airport or hotel turned out to be much more valuable.

The Rough Guide to Bangkok

by: Lucy Ridout, Paul Gray
This past Xmas, we had only 3 days to spend in Bangkok. We brought this book, the Lonely Planet Bangkok city map, and Emily Warn's Expedia article on Bangkok -- all of which fit into one jacket pocket, if you fold the map in half. (Compactness is key when you're traveling by tuktuk, bus, and riverboat.) Thus armed, we were able to efficiently cover the main sights without exhausting ourselves too much. (Best places to slow down & relax: the Dusit Zoo and the massage school at Wat Po. Especially the massage school.

LUXE Bangkok

by: LUXE City Guides
Fantastic guides! Pocket size and easy to follow. The writers are hilarious and the shopkeepers are very appreciative when you walk in carrying the guide. They give you ideas on where to go, what to eat and where to shop, that other guides do not provide!

The only thing missing is an actual map!
