Bangkok Bob's Thailand pages

Readers fed-up with guidebooks that describe only a sanitised Bangkok should consult Bangkok Bob. His free website offers a wealth of intelligent advice and, in some respects, puts the Lonely Planet to shame.

The tourist basics are covered in detail and it makes interesting reading for long-stay visitors and ex-pats too. Nightlife is well covered and so too is almost everything else. Successful beer drinking gets special attention. Don't miss Bangkok A-Z, the map section and strange things.

Bob obviously checks his facts. This makes a refreshing change from the opinion-heavy but fact-free Thailand postings we often read on the web. The tone is friendly and amusing. Visitors can add their own thoughts to a discussion board or email Bob directly.

The home page rarely changes but don't let that deter you from digging into this interesting site and returning often.

Think Bangkok Bob's pages are a little gold mine. Even sent off a few questions and received nice replies. Surprised and pleased. Good place to get valuable stuff on Bangkok.

Wow what a fabulous website. I am from Sunny South Africa and will be visiting Thailand in December for my annual holiday. I was on your website for HOURS - I wish there was a test because I read each and every page and now feel I am street wise. THANK YOU!
I copy, cut and paste all the useful and interesting info into a word document for my husband to read. It was fascinating... Even info on dog stuff which I did appreciate.
I also now know how to buy a watch - as that is my Christmas present to myself. Hope I get a good deal.

If you ever come to Sunny South Africa - please do NOT hesitate to call me - your wish is my command and I look forward to showing you around my country.
