Everyone who lives in Bangkok, whether they were born there or chose it as their home, has a different view of the city–no two people live in the same place, even if they live on the same block. In this book are images of five different cities through the eyes of five different residents–showing the Bangkok that they have found and hurried to preserve with a camera before it becomes lost.

Janet McKelpin
Born in Hong Kong, Janet McKelpin now lives in San Francisco, California, where she works as a designer and editor. In her quest to discover what it is like to live in the city of her birth, she invited five residents to share their visions of Hong Kong: artist Elizabeth Briel, English teacher Blair Dunton, lawyer Hank Leung, student Li Sui Pong, and publisher Albert Wen. Janet is the exclusive book designer for ThingsAsian Press.

Janet Brown
Janet Brown has always lived on the Pacific Rim: in Alaska, Seattle, and
Thailand. A bookseller for twenty years, she was until recently travel
buyer at the Elliott Bay Book Company, that literary oasis that makes
Seattle livable.
Janet took an extended cigarette break between 1995 and 2001 to teach
English in Bangkok. She is now back in Seattle, reinventing her life and
planning a permanent return to that city that she loves best in the world,
despite her continuing battle with the Thai language (which up to this
point is the clear-cut winner).
