Bangkok experience since 1993
When I first got to know Bangkok in 1993, there was neither a Skytrain nor a subway. People got around the city by tuk-tuk and bus. Getting around was less convenient, but it also brought you closer to the city.
Since then, I’ve continued to experience Bangkok in new ways: on foot, in everyday life and on my scooter. I’ve lived in the city for periods, gotten involved there and ridden my Honda Scoopy along Sukhumvit and through countless side streets. It was an adventure.
When I write about the “best noodle dish” or the “most beautiful view,” it’s always subjective. Bangkok Panorama offers my personal perspective on the city. After all, everyone’s tastes are different—and that’s exactly what makes exploring so enjoyable.
Bangkok is always changing. The book stays connected.
New developments, additions and corrections are posted here on thailand-joe.com. This way, Bangkok Panorama is designed to keep your guidebook from becoming “out of date.” Updates are assigned to the relevant chapters.
This lets you check once more before your trip whether the information in the book is still up to date and what has changed since publication. That way, Bangkok Panorama can continue to be your companion even after you buy it.
