Bangkok is one of the world’s most wellknown tourist destinations. Travellers are fascinated by its art and cultural diversity and colorful street life. The city’s skyline is shaped by a wide range of architectural styles evident in ist palaces, temples, historic buildings, all the way to the modern skyscrapers. In spite of the fact that these structures represent the architecture of different eras, they co-exist harmoniously and, at the same time, add spice to a visit to Bangkok.

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017
A much needed book on Bangkok's architecture. I hope that it gets revised and expanded multiple times. It focuses heavily, too heavily, on early 20th century mansions, temples, and palaces. Getting serious short shrift is anything modern. There is relatively little coverage of hotels, cinemas, shopping malls and other high rises. Let's hope that expanded editions change the limited focus. That said, Architectural Guide Bangkok provides a lot of valuable information about architects, including names and dates, of many important historical structures. This is not a comprehensive book, such as the AIA Guidebooks to New York and Chicago, but an invaluable first step.
