Secret Bangkok

Ce que dit l'éditeur

Secret Bangkok

Discover a temple - overlooked by visitors - that boasts a million Buddhas ; offer bacon and eggs to tiger temple-guardians ; visit the lair of giant monitor lizards ; meet David Beckham, Donald Duck and Popeye in a Buddhist temple ; gain merit by sponsoring a coffin ; or decipher, from a tree trunk, the winning lottery numbers offered by a beautiful female ghost. Meet a unique community of flute-players ; eat a communal vegetarian breakfast with Bangkok's Sikh community ; learn about the traditional Thai pastime of «baldy-butting» ; and meet a celebrated «healer» who goes by the name of Madame Breast-slapper.

Secret Bangkok is more than just an indispensable guide to the hidden face of the city : it is written also to offer fascinating background information for those who love to connect with the soul of a place.
