Drawing on over three decades of living in the city, Kerr blends outsider curiosity with insider knowledge to reveal the vibrant contrasts of this sprawling metropolis. Perfect for travelers and culture enthusiasts seeking a fresh, insightful perspective on one of Asia’s most dynamic cities. ## Description From the author of Another Kyoto and Lost Japan , a rich, personal exploration of the culture and history of Bangkok, and an essential guide for anyone visiting the city Alex Kerr has spent over thirty years of his life living in Bangkok. As with his bestselling books on Japan, this evocative personal meditation explores the city's secret corners. Here is the huge, traffic-choked metropolis of concrete high-rises, slums and sky trains; but also a place of peace and grace. Looking afresh at everything from ceramics to Thai dance, flower patterns to old houses, Kerr reveals one of Asia's most kaleidoscopically complex cities. Another Bangkok will delight both those who think they know the city well and those visiting for the first time. Review: Bangkok, from the outside in and the inside out - I enjoyed the original version of this book, Bangkok Found, when it first came out. This new version, with a new title, preserves much of the content while also taking note of recent developments. When the author came to Thailand, he already had acquired a well-deserved reputation as an expert on northeast Asia, especially Japan. In southeast Asia, however, he was an outsider. That was not a disadvantage, as it allowed him to explore the country--and especially Bangkok--with something of a beginner's mind. These days, after having lived much of the time in Bangkok for more than two decades, he can see things as an insider. This book is a synthesis of both perspectives, as he recounts what he learned in his early days and puts that in perspective based on what he now knows. Review: A Deep Look into Bangkok and Thai culture. - A superb knowledgeable description of Bangkok and Thai culture. A must-read for anyone interested in Asia in general. Art culture and history are explored deeply and with many insights. ## Features - Binding: paperback - Language: english - Manufacturer: Penguin Books Ltd - Brand: PENGUIN - Publication date: 2021-07-01T00:00:01Z ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 19 Reviews | ## Images ![Another Bangkok: Reflections on the City - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81839mZz3gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bangkok, from the outside in and the inside out *by B***N on 17 July 2021* I enjoyed the original version of this book, Bangkok Found, when it first came out.
