4.0 out of 5 stars try the thai, January 9, 2002

By	Paula (Galway, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Groovy Map & Guide Bangkok by Night (Groovy map "n" guide) (Map)

i am from ireland and had never been abroad so i got this book before i went to bangkok just to prepare myself for it and to make sure i knew what to do seeing as i would never get the opportunity again.i found this book to be amazingly informative, not just the regular tourist things but behind the scenes stuff.stuff your average tourist wouldn't even know was there. when i finally went i took the advice in the book as did my family and we all decided that the holiday wouldn't of been half as exciting if we just shopped,slept etc. we got to see the real bankok which i think wouldn't of happened if i hadn't gotten the book!!!!! thanks for listening. slan abhaile paula

4.0 out of 5 stars good night time intro to the city!, September 25, 2000

By	Aaron Frankel "nurith" (wattana, bangkok Thailand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Groovy Map & Guide Bangkok by Night (Groovy map "n" guide) (Map)

If you're unsure of what to do in bangkok after dark this is a great intro to a few of the best picks in the city of angels. Something in it for almost everyone, from the clubbing scene and bar scene to night time shopping for the shopaholics among us. I appreacited the tongue in cheek commentary. bangkok is one of those huge sprawling cities like LA so a compact top ten stuff to do at night is a pretty goood way to ease you into what can be an intimidating destination.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST BUY !, September 25, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Groovy Map & Guide Bangkok by Night (Groovy map "n" guide) (Map)

I LIVE in Bangkok and bought this map from a local newsagent. A MUST BUY for visitors to my country: WHAT DO YOU DO after you've done the klong tour, the temple tour, seen the Thai dancers? Spending the night wandering about your hotel is a BORE. This guide tells you how to HAVE FUN after hours as well, giving information for ALL tastes, budgets and proclivities. Want an interesting meal? Like a gay bar? Information is also provided on ANY questions tourists have, whether it is currency exchanges or medical care. For those who want to save some $$ and see the city from the ground level, the public transport is clearly shown and easy to follow: why pay for a hotel limo when it is FASTER and CHEAPER to take the sky train? The producers of this map also have a website where readers can give their own opinions of the recommended pubs, restaurants, etc. If the chef has quit and the food is now terrible, the authors WANT TO KNOW! They take no money from any recommended place, either, so the information is TOTALLY objective ! If you are planning to visit Bangkok, BUY THIS MAP !
