Travel Maps

"Fleximap Bangkok" includes 5 maps. The main map is a detailed street map of central Bangkok (1:15,000) including all the major tourists areas, with points of interest and general tourist information clearly marked. A larger-scale map (1:110,000) gives a handy overview of the city, while a small inset (1:6000) shows the layout of the Grand Palace in the heart of the city. There is also a map of the region around Bangkok, while the back cover features a map of the SkyTrain network. In addition to the mapping, "Fleximap Bangkok" also includes a list - with descriptions and photographs - of 28 recommended sights, divided by theme and linked to the mapping by numbered markers. There is also a handy information section with concise details on getting around the city, tourist offices, money, tipping, opening times, public holidays, telecommunications, emergency telephone numbers, and climate.
