Bangkok Then and Now

By Steve Van Beek

Book Overview

In 1900, Bangkok was vastly different from the city we see today. Yet in it we find hints of what it would become in A.D. 2000, just as today's city holds numerous relics that reveal much about its past. Through photographs taken at both ends of the 20th century, and in newspaper articles from 1900, Steve Van Beek explores the growth of the city and how its foreign residents regarded it, each other and their hosts. This revealing book provides fascinating insights into why the city looks as it does today, adding a rich dimension to our understanding of it.
