BOOK DISCOVERY
Bangkok Travel Map
First published 2006
Bangkok Travel Map is an English-language travel map from New Holland Publishers (UK) Ltd., published in 2006. Its title and format identify a practical representation of Bangkok designed for travel and spatial orientation. No further subjects are supplied, so the book is not assigned particular routes, landmarks, or neighborhoods here. Instead, it invites consideration of how maps guide movement, compress information, and influence the traveler’s understanding of a city. The publication date also foregrounds the changing relationship between printed cartography and newer navigation tools.
