The joy of the book is that Alex Kerr arrived in Bangkok as a seeker, and now takes us along for a replay of the ride. At the end he admits Bangkok is too elusive to truly be "found". But he has written probably the best single "guide" for a visitor to Bangkok, short- or long-term, who wants to be provoked into looking at the city as it is, not as it is often portrayed.
