Thankfully, and not surprisingly, tourist maps of Bangkok abound. Some are obviously going to be better than others; I often use the ones distributed at the <a href=\"https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CCoQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tourismthailand.org%2F&amp;rct=j&amp;q=tourism%20authority%20of%20thailand&amp;ei=-69nTcjgBYPTrQfby-XaCg&amp;usg=AFQjCNEuHY3T7m2Plrhv54RvWwHzXlvsJg&amp;cad=rja\">Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)</a> offices. Make sure that English is used – a map isn’t of much use to you if it’s in Thai.</p>\n<p>Online, check out www.thinknet.co.th for an interactive map of Bangkok. It’s on CD, so give yourself time to get it before your trip! They also print a Bangkok bus guide (with routes and fares) as well as bilingual maps (great for asking directions). Many products are available for download as well.</p>\n<p>By far the most fun is Nancy Chandler’s illustrated map of Bangkok. Colorful, with personal annotations, the <a href=\"https://www.thailandlogue.com/thailand-maps/\">Nancy Chandler map</a> is as useful as it is entertaining. A detailed map of the Chatuchak Weekend Market, for example, notes a stall that sells darling dresses, but notes that they’re “Thai sized.” Order ahead on her website, or pick one up from bookstalls in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>[Photo credit: <a href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/arthit/\">arthit</a>, Flickr] </p>\n","date":"February 25, 2011"}},"pageContext":{"id":"b0cba8ea-a69a-5454-82b4-8fe03663fa24"}}}
