Shopping Guide
Bangkok's intense urban tangle sometimes makes orientation a challenge, and it can be difficult to find out-of-the-
way shops and markets. Like having your own personal guide,
Nancy Chandler's Map of Bangkok
(
www.nancychandler.net
) tracks all sorts of small, out-of-the-way shopping venues and markets, as well as dissect-
ing the innards of the Chatuchak Weekend Market. The colourful map is sold in bookstores throughout the city.

Thanon Sukhumvit Market
Leaving on the first flight out tomorrow morning? Never fear about gifts for those back
home; here the street vendors will find you, with handbags, soccer kits, black-felt 'art',
sunglasses and jewellery, to name a few. There are also ample stacks of nudie DVDs,
Chinese throwing stars, penis-shaped lighters and other questionable gifts for your teenage
brother.
