Lonely Planet Thailand (Travel Guide)

Awsome book at a awsome price from Amazon

Product is good, but delivery is too slow.

日本のガイドブックにはない情報量。細かい都市までカバーしていて素晴らしい。

Für Thailand der beste Reiseführer. Jederzeit wieder.

This was very helpful for our trip to Chaing Mai region. It will also be helpful for the other areas when I get there. The book was the reason we chose the area of Thailand and ensured we have a great holiday ...adventurous too.

Just back from 2 weeks in Thailand and this book was an invaluable tool for a firt time lone traveller there. I would have missed so much if I hadn't done my analysis with this book first. The sections on Bangkok are great plus there is a separate pull out map which was never out of my hand. Tips on which Skytrain station to get off for canal rides into the City were spot on and better than most locals' knowledge. Advice on other areas such as Pattaya [don't both] were correct, but I still had to go there just to check myself. On other areas of Thailand the book is equally as good. Getting to Chaing Mai by plane from Dong M? airport with various providers again spot on, as was advice on 3 day jungle treks [what do you do at night, and what if you don't like your travel companions?] all good advice. I opted for a day trip, much better. Only criticism, the prices quoted for goods and services are way too low!!! If you are budgeting do NOT rely on the prices shown as inflation has defiitely hit everything from food to air travel and accommodation cost.

Lonely Planet has by far the most relevant, easy-to-use, and well edited travel guides for all countries. I wouldn't even think of using another brand of travel guide for independent travel. The Thailand guide is no exception, although I'd recommend buying the pdf versions, as this is a pretty thick book for one country. The book gives recommendations for housing, food, activities, highlights, etc. for every budget. The writers know the country in and out.
