BOOK DISCOVERY
Bangkok city guide
First published 2008
Bangkok city guide is an English-language guidebook by Andrew Burke, published in 2008. The title names Bangkok directly, while the subject metadata identifies guidebooks as the book’s form. The record supports reading it as a resource for engaging with a city, but it does not specify particular themes, places, or recommendations. This makes the guide’s broader role the most grounded point of departure: arranging knowledge, setting expectations, and mediating encounters between visitors and an urban environment. Its questions concern navigation, selection, and the construction of place.
