BOOK DISCOVERY
Globetrotter Travel Map Bangkok
First published 1997
Globetrotter Travel Map Bangkok is an English-language travel map by New Holland (Publishers) Ltd, published in 1997. Its title identifies Bangkok as the mapped destination and travel as the map’s practical context. No additional subject metadata is supplied, so the book is considered only as a cartographic tool for orientation and movement. A map makes choices about scale, visibility, and omission, shaping how travelers imagine the city before navigating it. Its publication date also matters when assessing the relationship between printed information and changing urban realities.
