Editorial Reviews

Review

Delightful, de-lovely and de-luxe. Savagely witty city guides to the hip hotels, bars, restaurants and shops for the hedonist. Sleekly designed to fold out, accordion-style, they fit in a pocket and pop back in a whizzy box. --Vanity Fair On Travel - April 2008

Sex and the City in a handbook. A mini marvel that fits in your handbag. The Times (UK) voted LUXE City Guides # 5 in the world's Top 10 guidebooks. --The Times UK - April 16, 2008

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.

Super entertaining and leaves out the touristy trash. I love to discover the little gems in a city that most travel guides completely leave out. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the best the city has to offer!

This "guide" is little more than a fold-out pamplet with very small print. The information is nothing special and probably the same stuff you could learn from wikipedia travel or other sites. There is little "luxe" about the information and even for $9 and the 4-for-3 deal it is not at all worth the money.

This was a total waste of money! I've been to Tokyo and this $10 pamphlet tells you nothing you can't get from a generic travel book. No maps of the City or the subway system; only a limited # of restaurant, spa, shop and cultural sites in downtown areas. Don't dpend your money on this!
