Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Surprisingly mediocre
Rating:
I really expected more from this book. It had basic info about lodging and food, but really quite basic and obvious stuff. I was frustrated many times looking for places to eat. The section on Koh Samui was almost totally useless. There was nothing here to make it worth the price.
The Travel Bible, a bit dated
Rating:
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. On my recent trip, more than half of the restaurants we tried to find in Chiang Mai had either moved across town or shut down since The Book was last published. If you are in the market, pre-order the new edition instead, which will hopefully sport updated information.
By the way, I highly recommend the Chiang Dao Nest - bungalows set in the beautiful forests and mountains north of Chiang Mai, and amazing food despite the remote location.
Type is ridiculously small - DO NOT BUY
Rating:
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.
LP provide the best guide to exploring a country
Rating:
Lonely Planet guides consistently provide accurate information. It is great especially for people who budget travel, travel light (backpack) and want some adventure.
A great guide
Rating:
I went to Thailand for the first time with a backpack and this book. I used it almost daily. It was extremely helpful for my entire trip. Whether I was lost in the middle of town, looking for a cheap restaurant, or needing to kill a giant insect in my hostel this book was there. The writers obviously know what they're talking about. The maps are detailed and easy to read. This book gives you enough information to feel confident traveling in Thailand.
