With pictures and prose, 'Bangkok and Chiang Mai on a Rope' guides you through the two largest, and most visited cities in Thailand. Well-traveled author Larry Stein outlines the planning process that he follows, and documents the details of the trip itself–including specifics about lodging, costs, shopping, dining, and transportation. Stein explains how to do all of this affordably ('on a rope,' not a shoestring) while still enjoying comfortable accommodations, good food, and realistic travel options between destinations.
