BOOK DISCOVERY
The Rough guide to Bangkok
First published 2015
The Rough guide to Bangkok is an English-language guidebook by Paul Gray, published in 2015. Its subjects identify both guidebooks and description and travel, grounding the book in the practical and interpretive work of presenting Bangkok to visitors. The supplied metadata does not establish specific coverage, recommendations, or judgments, so this introduction avoids attributing any. Instead, the title invites attention to how a “rough” guide can frame travel knowledge, mediate encounters with place, and balance usable direction with the unpredictability of a city.
