Great map, easy to read. Laminated edition is a must have as the non laminated one tends to tear easily. It is a little large for use out on the streets, unless you don't mind looking like a typical tourist.

Probably the best of the map series out there.

This map has all the necessary highlights on sights, restaurants and hotels. The map is laminated so it can take alot of abuse during your travel. It really prepares one well prior to the visit. One of the best maps I have ever used.

I bought this map and guide expecting it to be a cute add-on and I didnt think I would actually use it for real info on my trip to Bangkok. BUT not so! I used this Groovy Guide way more than the guidebook I brought with me. Its packed full of really good info about temples, places to visit, what to avoid (scams and fake tour guides, gem scams and tuk-tuk scmas) what to defeinitely do (best views, best river trips, best massages) and what to eat (amazing street food!!) I totally used this map to bits for my stay and was worth every cent. I would say it was way better than the other guide books and stuff I had and didnt really use. The maps is easy to carry around with you. Highly recommend.

fantastic well-written and researched map of Bangkok by people who really know the city inside out. The listings ands tips and advice as well as the Top ten are spot on and I found that I followed the map like a dream. Top Ten stuff to do and see was really the best as there can be so much to do in BKK you can be overwhelmed. I loved the Thai food suggestions, river trip ideas, funny comments about the city and more. Really cool map! I would buy it again !

I just moved to Bangkok and have found this map so immensely handy that I had to get another one (my husband kept stealing our shared copy!) Now we have copies of both this edition and the updated one. While this is great, do yourself a favor and get the updated on with the sunset photo on the cover.

I visited Thailand for the first time last year. My first night there, I took a cab from Bangkok, followed the tout cabdrivers advice to to go to a certain hotel "bad mistake". I stayed at an awful, expensive, and overpriced excuse for a room. I was so disgusted by this experience that I left for Pattaya the next day. Pattaya was very nice, but I think I missed out on the true Bangkok experience. I bought this guide before I go on my trip this year, and I am very impressed with it. It has many words of wisdom from an experienced traveler. I enjoy his sense of humor and fun practical map. The graphics are excellent and having locations written in Thai as well as English will increase your chance of getting to your destination. Two thumbs up!!!

I liked this cool and hip guide which told me where to go for bars and clubs. I also liked the fact they had a gay section. The map is laminated so it wont tear or get wet. It is pretty cool and you wont feel dumb carrying it around with you as you tour the city.

The groovy map is groovy - and the guide is even better. I have the Groovy Pattaya Map and Guide too, and its pretty much spot on as well. Firstly, the city is well laid-out so that you can see the whole city at a glance. There is enough detail in the mapping to find all the places you will most likely be going such as the markets, shops, bar zones, etc. The Guide is written by a long-term resident of BANGKOK so the advice he gives is to the point and often, pretty humorous. I highly recommend the Groovy Bangkok Map & Guide. Would buy it again on my next visit.
