Bangkok Panorama

This is a stunningly illustrated panoramic celebration of Bangkok, and its fascinating and colourful contrasts. This lavishly illustrated volume presents the people, landscapes, and culture of Bangkok in a unique perspective. Featuring over 100 beautifully composed panoramic images taken by renowned cityscape photographer Josef Polleross, readers will experience the exceptionally wide spectrum of life in this metropolis in a fresh and surprising way -- its people are shown at work and play; major heritage sites are juxtaposed with monuments to modern consumerism; and glimpses of the unseen and unspoken are offered -- from high-society parties to slum dwellings. Accompanied by incisive and insightful text from best-selling author John Burdett, "Bangkok Panorama" presents a unique look at one of the world's most famous and fascinating cities.
