These books make such a fantastic read in terms of filling you in on culture and traditions - because I had read this before we travelled I spotted lots of things I would have missed otherwise. It seemed a shame that we only went on a two week tourist holiday - the book made me want to go back packing around the whole country!
The books coverage strikes a good balance, and the design is very user friendly, the features of the (not so) new design which are particuliarly useful are the end of chapter transport connections overview with approx times, and the 40 things not to miss photos at the front is a great selection, and can serve as an inspiring hit list.
The book is very well suited to the independant traveller, and the accomodation on the whole was more accurately on target than in many other guides, to agree with 50% or more of the reccomendations is a very good sign, although thailand moves quickly, not least in accomodation, so it is very difficult to keep coverage up to date.
On the whole the food selections were ok, generally this is the weakest point in the rough guide series, Bangkok is least well served in this respect, but when pushed and feeling lazy outside the capital it will deliver somewhere to eat pretty quickly. (not that finding somewhere to eat is a problem in thaialnd).
there is a small but quite useful language section which could be expanded to double its length and be even more useful, and the history section isnt too overwhelming, but i guess more thai phrase books are sold separately than history books and hence the obvious imbalance here.
The Rough guide to Thailand is nicely pitched, accurate and informative.
Overall, I was impressed by it, the accomodations they recommend are good and there are many interesting facts and important informations about the country.
I really like their honesty, they are not trying too hard and their advises on some locations are precious.
But there is a but ! I know its mainly my fault, I should have checked before buying but a detailed detached map of Bangkok would have been very useful.
Bangkok is a big city and very very exhausting and it was hard to find our way by reading the guide.
So one advise, if you do stay in Bangkok for a few days, do buy a map of the city as well, they do provide free maps at the aiport but its not really accurate !
Unfortunately the binding quality of the book I received was poor. Read more
This book had not left the house when pages 5 to 26 just fell out. Read more
Listmania!
