Frequency: Monthly Contents: What’s hot and happening here and now Since launching in 2005, Bangkok 101 has established itself as the Thai capital’s only premium lifestyle and travel guide, keeping pace with constantly changing trends on the local and national scene. Independent and unbiased, the magazine caters to sophisticated travellers and locals who yearn for more than what they find in weighty, dated guidebooks. Unlike the typical ‘complimentary’ publications, it’s a dedicated, distilled city guide to luxury travel that tells it like it really is. In each monthly issue the vital information stays while the outdated stuff goes, so the latest updated listings and news can be added. All this has made Bangkok 101 the number one lifestyle and culture guide to Bangkok, and the in-room magazine of choice at the city’s leading hotels and high-end serviced apartments.
