My publications
As another way to leverage the large inventory of content developed through my travel sites, I have published several travel guides in electronic form. These books are available in the two major formats – mobi (Kindle) and ePub – and are distributed through all the major publishing platforms, such as Amazon, iBooks, Smashwords, etc. The links on this page will take you to Amazon.
Bangkok Essentials
For any first-time visitor to Bangkok, there are certain "must see" sights that you have to visit. While "the Big Mango" is home - literally - to hundreds of museums as well as assorted palaces, temples and other tourist spots, there are three destinations that most will say you need to visit to have "done" Bangkok: The Grand Palace, Wat Po (The Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn.)
In addition to the 'big three' I've also selected a dozen or so other sights - some popular, some interesting but a bit off the tourist trail - that are easily accessible using the city's train and boat system.
Bangkok Walking Tours
This eBook provides describes three walking tours that you can follow on your own to explore Bangkok. The tours take in different parts of the city, such as Chinatown, the curious “Golden Mount” area, and the 'other' side of Bangkokk - Thonburi. Each tour includes a route map, step-by-step instructions on how to get from one stop to the next, and detailed descriptions of each of the main sights.
Chiang Mai Guide
The real charm of Chiang Mai are the many forgotten lanes and temples, quite a few of which aren't even in the guidebooks. Take a leisurely stroll through the old walled city of Chiang Mai, the capital of the ancient kingdom of "Lanna", founded more than 700 years ago. Visit ancient temples, colorful fresh markets and other cultural attractions in this pleasant walking tour. In addition, this ebook covers several other 'hidden' gems of the ancient city, including colorful markets and the ruins of an even older city.
Sukhothai with Si Satchanalai
This small ebook provides a handy guide to the sights of the ancient city of Sukhothai in the north of Thailand, the first ‘Thai’ kingdom. It covers all the major ruins, museums and also includes a guide to the related site of Si Satchanalai.
