"Bangkok Streets" vividly explores Thailand's capital, revealing its evolution through history, globalization's impact, and the lives of its residents. The book navigates Bangkok's chaotic charm, blending iconic temples with modern skyscrapers, and traditional crafts with contemporary markets. From its humble beginnings as a trading post to its current status, Bangkok's story is etched into its streets, shaped by royal patronage, western influences, and political shifts. The book argues that Bangkok's identity is a dynamic negotiation between tradition and modernity. It unfolds across three sections: historical roots, contemporary landscape, and the everyday lives of Bangkok's residents. Through diverse sources, including archival documents and personal interviews, "Bangkok Streets" offers an intimate glimpse into the city's heart, making it valuable for those interested in urban history, Southeast Asian culture, and the dynamics of globalization.
