Product Description
Product Description
The Rough Guide to Thailand's Beaches and Islands is the ultimate guide to these glorious destinations. From the enchanting and little-known islands of Ban Krud and Suan Luang to the hip new beach resort of Pak Nam Pran. A full-colour 24-page section introduces the highlights, with stunning photography of the best the islands have to offer. The authors provide expert recommendations on where to go, from party beaches and luxury resorts to remote national park islands and bases for diving, snorkelling and kayaking. The guide also includes full coverage of Bangkok, the main point of arrival, a sophisticated metropolis and gateway to the coasts. There are detailed maps for every region and informed advice on activities - from Thai cookery to Thai boxing and from scuba-diving to white-water rafting.

Format:Paperback
An absolute necessity if you are planning on visiting southern Thailand. We have used and used the book. It's real advantage is that it includes Bangkok and the southern beaches and so all holidays are covered.
As usual the rough guide is informative and gives plenty of advice.
You really need this book if you are planning on visiting Thailand, particularly if you are planning a two-stop or three-stop visit.

I own this and the Lonely Planet equivalent which was given to me. As usual, the Rough Guide is infinitely better. Much better photographs, much easier to read and a much better lay out.
The information is thorough as ever and there is plenty of listings for all tastes and all budgets. The maps are fine and to those who say it's not specific enough - take a look at the title, it's a 'Rough Guide'. All the basics are covered and most people will find everything they need in this book

i just want to say that on a recent trip to thailand and some of it's islands i found your books "Thailand " and "Thailand's Beaches & Islands"
an invaluable source of infomation well done !
Although some of the infomation is repeated in the island and beaches edition it still has loads of tips and facts that are relevant to each island. these books certainly helped make the holiday a trip of a life time and a big thank you to you.

Thailand's beaches
I am going to KOh Samui, for the fifth time, but have not been there for as many years. It gives an idea, but is not specific enough for what I would have liked. Read more
