Head to Bangkok now to feel the energy of the city!
Bangkok is currently booming, with large commercial facilities being built one after another as the city is redeveloped, and old buildings being renovated to become cultural complexes with galleries and coffee shops.
In recent years, coffee beans have been produced in the north, leading to a proliferation of coffee shops. Unique styles are abundant, with coffees blended with citrus fruits, matcha, and carbonated drinks to suit the hot climate. Fine dining is also plentiful, with some restaurants ranked among Asia's best in 2025. There are also casual bistros and cafes run by the same chefs, making the area a magnet for choice.
Meanwhile, the restaurants in the historic town are always bustling with locals, tuk-tuks ply the streets, and peddlers sell vegetables, plants, and even piggy banks from handcarts. On holidays and at night, roadside stalls will make som tam on the spot, or grill squid on a roller...
From the dynamically transforming skyscrapers to the nostalgic backstreets that offer a glimpse into everyday life, we have encapsulated our desire to encourage people to see and visit the fascinating and fascinating Bangkok of today, creating a book that makes you feel like you can hear the bustle of the city. We hope you will take a look at this book, visit Bangkok, and feel the energy that overflows from the city.

I bought a cute retro piggy bank from an old man selling things from a handcart for 60 baht, or about 280 yen.
