More About the Author

Nine years ago the founder of LUXE City Guides, Grant Thatcher, was at a party in Singapore. He was told that if he were ever to go to Bangkok, then he must be sure to take the several A4 pages that he was now being handed, as they contained the best insider knowledge on the city. Everybody, it seemed, loved this saucy list.

Grant looked at the list. It seemed familiar. It looked exactly like the list he had written for friends before he left Bangkok. Shut up, and get out of here! Dong! It's true. The rest, as they say, is history.

Bangkok is always the best place to travel. I bought the new Bangkok title in January this year, the information was so updated and I followed all the suggestions in LUXE for my 5 days trip which bought me to many new cool cafes and shopping sites. I just love it!

The luxe guides totally saved me from bad tourist traps and mediocre restaurants. Thank goodness for them. Sure they are short- but that's the point! Short, to-the-point and LIGHT (ie. ladies they fit smartly in your handbag) you don't have to read pages and pages on where to go. Luxe just TELLS you- and all are spot on. Smartest guides around. I might try the apps for next time.

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!
