One doesn’t come to Bangkok for calm. Nor does one come for ultimate luxury experiences. Bangkok is a city for the explorer. For those looking for a contagious energy. For those looking to feel alive. The capital of Thailand is electric chaos, from the animated street-food vendors to traffic jams galore. The only balance for Bangkok’s vibrant character is found in its spiritual dimension. Intricate Buddhist temples and monasteries offer momentary respite. Then it’s back to the buzz of the city life.
Bangkok is a place of abundance. Abundant in religious institutions, abundant in delicacies offered at the food markets, and abundant in places for an unforgettable night on the town. With Thailand’s first skate company (Preduce Skateboards), Princess Sirivannavari’s eponymous fashion label, and an avant-garde collaboration between Chef Gaggan Anand and Louis Vuitton, Bangkok is clearly abundant in its creative output as well. An intimate story of exploration recounted by author Simon Liberati is accompanied by dynamic images—several of which have been provided by local photographers—to present an invigorating portrait of Bangkok.

About Assouline
We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library; we started working with top perfumers for scented candles, with Goyard for a book trunk, with Chanel on a quilted leather slipcase, and so on. Now we are expanding the Assouline lifestyle brand in stores in the most important cities of the world. We love and believe in books more than everything else, but we also want to extend our vision to create all that can be expected in a chic and personalized library, from beautiful books and special editions to luxury gift items, unique library accessories, and now a complete turnkey collection of stylish furniture. Our digital world goes faster than ever and nothing remains of it, but books are a solid part of our past and present. They are also beautiful. For us, books are a matter of intellect and emotion; heritage and innovation. Information is not only about today, and the past is a sensational source of inspiration.
