I should add I have read The Damage Done and enjoyed that. Something about the criminal underworld of Bangkok would be interesting as well as the development of the city. I don't suppose there's much chance of me finding a single publication that covers both, so I am happy to part with well-earned cash for 2 or 3 if necessary. No problem. As mentioned, personal,recommendations only, please don't say google it. Nothing about what to do in Bangkok also please, been here far too long for that stuff. No guides or touristic stuff. Just history of the city or criminal underworld but non-fiction.
