It is filled with remarkable people and glittering golden palaces and temples, but is also a maze of concrete and twisting overhead utility wires. Alex Kerr has spent over thirty years of his life living in Bangkok and is uniquely qualified to write about it.  As with his bestselling books on Japan (\u003ci\u003eLost Japan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAnother Kyoto\u003c\/i\u003e), he revels in the secret, tucked-away corners, the great contemporary artists and the sheer wonder of so many aspects of Thai dance and design.  While deploring the loss of much of old Bangkok, he is never merely nostalgic for a past but finds inspiration in Thailand's dynamic modern fusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnother Bangkok \u003c\/i\u003ewill delight both those who think they know the city well and those visiting for the first time.  Kerr is a uniquely wry and eloquent guide to everything from ceramics to puppetry, from flower patterns to old houses.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48198009389214,"sku":"UBD-9780141987170","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141987170.jpg?v=1787745300","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141987170","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
