More About the Author
A nomad at heart, Michael Buckley thrives on adventuring in remote corners of the globe--rappelling through the treetops of Costa Rica, hunting elusive mammals in the wilds of Bhutan (with a camera), diving with manta rays, kayaking in Cambodia, or trekking in Tibet. To get off the track, he is keen on self-propelled transport methods--mountain-biking, hiking, kayaking and diving. He is author or co-author of ten books, including Eccentric Explorers (a biography-based book), Shangri-La: a Guide to the Himalayan Dream (themed around the Himalayan utopia), Tibet: the Bradt Travel Guide, and Travels in the Tibetan World (travel narrative). Although he travels world-wide, he is especially drawn to Southeast Asia and the Himalayan region.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for travel in Bangkok,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bangkok Handbook (Moon Travel Handbooks) (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)
I recently traveled to Bangkok using Michael Buckley's book as a guide. It was an excellent source for figuring out what to see (from the Grand Palace to Patpong). It also has simple maps that explain how to get where you want to go. The book's specific descriptions help one travel around the city whether by Tuk Tuk, river express boat or city bus. I highly recommend this book. It was the best of any I read on travels in Bangkok.
