The Rough Guide to Thailand (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

The Rough Guide to Thailand (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
Customer Review: Don’t bother with the ‘Lonely Planet ‘ guides
This is about the tenth Rough Guide I’ve used, and as usual it has been an excellent source of most importantly accurate information. All Rough Guides have evidently been well researched and give step-by-step procedures of what to do on arrival, finding accommodation and local transport etc. I’ve never understood why so many travellers use ‘Lonely Planet’ guides. The title may very well sound ethereal and full of the romatic allusion (illusion?) of travelling, but I have found them at best very mediochre. I can think their popularity lies more in the fact of their reputation. If you’re a ’serious’ traveller you only ever get the Lonely Planet. Well don’t bother, get a Rough Guide which you will almost certainly find more useful.

Customer Review: VERY GOOD INFO
I went to Thailand for the first time a week ago. I couldn’t use the book to its full due to the Tsunami. I was due to go to Krabi and Phi Phi but had to stay in the un-affected areas. The book was great for a starter but we didn’t realise it was the 2002 addition. It maybe that the book has been updated but it didn’t say how built up Chewang Beach Koh Samui would be. It sounded great but the book does not mention McDonalds, Starbucks, Boots, you name it every thing you have at home!
We found it very helpfull for Bangkok though and to generally get to know Thailand, its history and its culture!
I have had rough guide before and they are well worth it, just check the edition!
