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.

Typical RG 22 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
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.
