Review

There are lots of mini guidebooks being published right now, but none as witty and packed with frank insider and witty info as these. Lightweight too. --Sunday Times - May 17, 2009

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.

Well written, funny and sarcastic. This is a great guide for the non-touristy, off beat sites to see in Beijing. Tends to be higher end venues so if you are a budget traveler, look elsewhere

The BJ guide gave me a lot of good suggestions to bring my customers to nice restaurants in BJ as well as numerous standout stores to shop. I especially love the shopping itineraries, very useful indeed! They are written in very funny style, what a smart guide!
