Rating: - The Travel Bible, a bit dated
Known as "The Book", this is the standard for any travel guide to Thailand. I'm glad they are coming out with a new edition, though.

- Type is ridiculously small - DO NOT BUY
This book appears to contain the compendium of knowledge regarding Thailand.Too bad the font is so small that even my teenage daughter says it hurts her eyes.DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK unless you want to use a magnifying glass to read it.Very disappointed.

The maps are detailed and easy to read. This book gives you enough information to feel confident traveling in Thailand.
Rating: - Great All Around Guide!

As much as I love this book, I have to admit that it isn't perfect. It puts a lot of information within its pages and sometimes misses some places (mostly restaurants ... Read More
