You don't come to Bangkok looking for peace and quiet. Nor do you come for the ultimate luxury experience. Bangkok is a city for the explorer, for those seeking contagious energy, for those seeking to feel alive. Thailand's capital is an electric chaos, from the lively street food vendors to the abundant traffic jams. The only balance to Bangkok's vibrant character lies in its spiritual dimension. The intricate Buddhist temples and monasteries offer a momentary respite. Afterward, it's back to the hustle and bustle of city life. Bangkok is a place of abundance. Abundant in religious institutions, abundant in the delicacies offered in its food markets, and abundant in places to spend an unforgettable night in the city. With Thailand's first skateboard company (Preduce Skateboards), Princess Sirivannavari's eponymous fashion label, and a cutting-edge collaboration between chef Gaggan Anand and Louis Vuitton, Bangkok is clearly abundant in its creative output as well. Author Simon Liberati recounts an intimate story of exploration, accompanied by dynamic images—many of which were provided by local photographers—to present an invigorating portrait of Bangkok.
