Maps? Gifts?

[moondragon]

Hey any great English-language maps of Bangkok that I should pick up for my trip?

Are they readily available in Bangkok or should I get one before I leave Los Angeles?

Also, what's good to bring as gifts for my Thai hosts? Alcohol always goes over good with my Japanese friends. Is this true in Thailand and what do they like to drink?

Cheers,

Moon

You will find English maps in any of the tourist magazines and/or in Asia bookstores.

As for gifts, Black label and higher is welcome. Any 'souvenir' from back home, although it might have a label: "Made in China".

Yes there is a good one you can buy at a book store.
