This is a Guide to Bangkok, by Erik Seidenfaden, published by the Royal State Railways of Siam. The Railway provider sought not only to provide transport but, in offering information about the places connected by rail, to encourage travel via rail. The book contains both practical information regarding visiting Bangkok, as well as writing on Siam’s history, architecture, culture and the civil and religious monuments of Bangkok for sightseeing.
