If you're going to Bangkok - Get this Map!
By Bob Stern
Recently our family spent 4 days touring Bangkok. We had a great time and this map was always in our hands. We had no trouble getting around with the boat taxis, sky train, and walking using the map as a guide. And we went to several of the restaurants that Nancy recommends in the booklet that comes with the map, each of which was good food, good prices, and, you guessed it, (easy to find) Of course, you can always find restaurants on your own, but why take chances when you only have a few days in a city?

* It's hard to find a map with the right amount of detail, yet one where you can still find what you need at a glance. For tourists on their own, it's hard to imagine a better map than this one
* The boat taxis are a great an inexpensive way to get to many of the key spots you'll want to visit. Map makes it easy to make sure you get off at the right stop and can walk to Grand Palace, etc. that you are heading to.
* Chatuchak market - If you like to shop for bargains you have to go here. It's a huge market and very popular with the locals and tourists alike. Nice, detailed inset layout of the market; we took the sky train, and found a great hand-made paper shop from the map. Bought a multi-year supply to be sure! Also checked out the rooster fights, exotic pets, etc. Totally fun.
* Golden Buddha - This is 55 tons of gold Buddha! Don't miss it. We had no trouble walking directly to it from one of the boat taxi stops using the map for walking directions!
* Sampeng Lane in China town - we read about it in the map/book and decided to walk it on our way back from the Golden Buddha to a boat taxi stop. Great tip, this was quite an experience for our boys.
* And if you go to Chiangmai, Nancy has a great map for there too!

surprisingly useful!
By ioana1
I spent 6 weeks in Bangkok by myself, using two maps at all times - one, Nancy Chandler's map, and another one that had all the street names on it. Without Nancy's Map, it would have been a lot more difficult to find my way around and to get to all the destinations that I wanted to see, because the map has the brilliant feature of overlapping touristy information on top of the map itself, which makes it easier to find and have an idea on the distance between different interest points. I still needed a second map with all the small street names, when I got lost and had to find out where is Soi Bla bla so I can trace my way back. The map has the exact information that a tourist might be interested in. Where to have Indian food, where to see dance, where to see puppet shows, where is Wat Arun, where is the night market, where can you see Thai boxing, what can you do in the Lumphini park etc.
Make sure you get as recent a map as you can, because Bangkok changes quite often as subways and skytrains are developed.
The map comes with a little booklet which has an index of all sorts of exciting things you can do in Bangkok.
I must admit when I first received the crayon-colored map in the mail, I was very skeptical about it. But, I highly recommend it now and I wish Nancy Chandler would provide similar maps for other cities I want to travel to.

Bangkok's Best Map
By A Customer
I purchased Nancy Chandler's Map of Bangkok before a recent visit
to that city. It was absolutely invaluable. It is very detailed
without being confusing and showed information that was not available anywhere else. I visited places in Bangkok purely on the recommendation of this guide and was never disappointed. Great value.
