Overview
A fascinating and diverse collection of travel writings from visitors to Bangkok 1895-1935. Richly illustrated with contemporary artwork and photographs.
"What is Bangkok like?" asked an American visitor, rhetorically in 1903. Some answer the question by relying on cliches 'Venice of the east' or 'city of places in temples'. Others insisted that its contrasts and contradictions made an easy description impossible.
Bangkok at the turn of the 20th century was a city in transition, mixing as it did east with west and traditions with modernity. Here live the diverse communities which made it what it is today but this collection of writings by a huge variety of visitors to Bangkok captures the city through foreign eyes.
In Bangkok is a collection of texts which reflect the foreign experience of the city the foreigners in question being both long-term residence and short-term visitors. It draws on a wide range of sources including travel books, memoirs, novels, short stories, verses, inscriptions, newspaper reports, directories and advertisements. It is richly illustrated with contemporary artwork and photographs.
