Tour Bangkok Legacies - New Discoveries Of Old Treasures on Dec. 04, 2015

“Tour Bangkok Legacies : New Discoveries of Old Treasures” is the work of an author with a deep interest in the cultural history of one of the most fascinating cities of Asia which is also among the world’s top tourist destinations, Bangkok. For centuries the centre-stage of political, cultural and economic developments in Thailand, Bangkok (known to Thais as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon) dates its origins to the 15th Century as a trading post during the period of the Ayuthaya Kingdom. In publishing this book, Eric uncovers a treasure trove of gems of the Kingdom’s legacy. Through this exposition of Bangkok’s wats and temples, churches of the various Christian denominations, museums, markets, arts and crafts and the klongs or canals which have served a vital public transportation function in the traffic-congested capital, Eric has made available a wealth of information about the origins, history and even folklore surrounding fascinating edifices, monuments and customs. This work of passion and labour of love is an invaluable source of information for anyone with more than a fleeting interest in Bangkok’s cultural landscape and history.
