Tried and tested November 2005,
By Miss Smith (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Bangkok (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Great for independent travellers and a handy size for putting in your bag during the day, unlike the weighty whole country guidebooks. Maps at the back are very useful for general directions and easy to access when you’re in a rush. Information is highly readable, clearly laid out and for the most part accurate. Prices tend to fluctuate, although not far out, but should be taken with a pinch of salt for those on a tight budget. The book survived a couple of weeks of backpacking round Thailand without falling apart, unlike another reputable, but less used guidebook.

If you are used to Lonely Planet's - Dont take this,

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Bangkok (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I wanted to try something new when travelled to Bangkok and got the Rough Guide. I have mostly had Lonely Planet's or Eyewitness guides (I am not saying they're the best in every place), but I have used to work with them - and experience with this new was really "rough". All the information is scattered around the book in very odd way - very hard to use. Some very essential information was not there at all... Perhaps better luck with Rough's in some other place.

So So in Bangkok,
By Brian Poligone - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Bangkok (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I am a big fan of Rough Guides and Lonely Planet Guides. On my recent month long trip(for work) I used the Rough Guide to Bangkok. I was underwhelmed and would definitely recommend using the Lonely Planet. The writing was not poorly written and rambled at times. Page after page could have been consolidated into a few paragraphs. The recommendations for food were not extensive enough. It was an average book for travel.
