Bangkok, by American author William Warren, describes how the charms of the city and its people outweigh the disadvantages of pollution, traffic, and stifling heat. It also portrays celebrities like the early kings of Thailand’s present dynasty and Anna Leonowens, heroine of "The King and I," as well as Jim Thompson, the U.S.-born silk entrepreneur and art collector who mysteriously vanished in the jungles of Malaysia. Bangkok provides a much needed history of the city, but is also imbued with the warmth of Warren’s love affair with its frenetic way of life. William Warren was born in the southern U.S. He has lived in Bangkok since 1959, and has written many books on Thailand, from gardens to Thai arts, crafts, and cuisine, and a biography of Jim Thompson. William Warren’s Bangkok is an informal portrait of this most vibrant and perplexing of modern cities.
