Bangkok, mega-city, economic metropolis and city of 400
temples, can be both fascinating and sometimes nauseating at the same time:
loud, dirty and chaotic, then again, there is also a peaceful and reserved
side. The illustrated book at hand displays the �Venice of the East� in its
contradictory beauty, without over-romanticising the city.
Authentic, surprising and bursting with emotion.

From the Publisher:

Urban Identities: Peter Nitsch's photographs document life on
the streets of Bangkok with an individual and virtually intimate look at
the city: The central theme is mankind within the urban environment of the
metropolis. The pictures show scenes, gestures, characters: an old
hairdresser, a frame-maker, a traditional soup kitchen and a lady selling
Buddha garlands at night-time. They all go to represent an attempt to
preserve a little Thai identity within a continuously globalising city.
