Bangkok Travelbug, the newsletter of Tour Bangkok Legacies, covers people, places and events of historical and cultural significance in Bangkok for a more enriching travel experience.

Each month, we recall anniversaries of significant events, places and people who played a pivotal role in the city and the country’s history. Besides announcements on page updates and new pages, there’ll also be feature articles of historical interest and other historical snippets.

Whether you’re an independent traveler or one on a guided tour, a business traveler, a frequent or casual visitor or even a resident for that matter, there’s always something or somewhere interesting in Bangkok that’s reminiscent of people and events in the past.

Keep updated by subscribing to our newsletter, Bangkok Travelbug.

Knowing history is not to live in the past but to understand the present.

Hi Eric,

We would like to thank you for your interesting newsletters and information about Thailand. We have been to Thailand three times now, and really enjoyed the newsletter about Thailand's history.

More tourists (and locals) should get to know the country's past. Holidays are not just about getting a good tan or visiting the markets, massage parlors etc.

There is so much else to see and do in Thailand. The Thai people are wonderful, friendly, helpful and spontaneous.

Keep up the good work & hope to meet with you in due course.

Warm Regards

Thank you very much, Ron and Jackie, for your compliments and support.

Please enjoy the rest of your visits to Thailand as much, if not more, than your first three.

Warmest regards

Eric
