About this listen
On a Monday morning in Bangkok, half the city seems to be wearing yellow. Office workers, market sellers and civil servants all turn up in yellow shirts, because in Thailand every day of the week has its own color, and the late king was born on a Monday. Most visitors never notice. Hugo Reinhardt will make sure you do.
Explore Thailand Like a Local is a travel guide written for the ear. Most visitors follow the same line: Bangkok, a beach, perhaps Chiang Mai. Hugo goes where that line misses, to river towns with teak houses on stilts, Khmer temples alone in the rice fields, and the plastic stool at the morning market.
You'll learn how to:
• Greet people with a wai, behave well in a temple, and use "mai pen rai", the phrase that will smooth your whole trip
• Cycle around Koh Kret, a car-free island outside Bangkok where families have made pottery for 300 years, and try khao chae, rice in cool jasmine-scented water
• Watch monks cross the wooden bridge to the Mon village at Sangkhlaburi at dawn, and walk into Hellfire Pass on the Death Railway
• Cross into Isan, the plateau most visitors skip, for Khmer temples, Mekong towns and sticky rice
• Find the buried city under the suburbs of Chiang Mai, eat noodles over a valley in a Lahu village, and slow down in Nan
• Choose the quieter islands of the Gulf and the Andaman coast over the party beaches
• Spot the friendly stranger who says the Grand Palace is closed today, and walk straight past him
Every chapter ends with Hidden Gems & Local Secrets: the stall, viewpoint or side road that turns a good day into one you remember. Hugo gets up before the tour buses, eats where the motorbike taxi drivers eat and takes the slow train whenever there is one.
