I bought the Culture Shock Egypt book not long ago, and was extremely impressed by it. As soon as I knew I was going to Thailand I bought this book, and it certainly doesn't disappoint. It is invaluable when understanding Thailands cultures, and all the do's and don'ts that you need to know about before you go!!!

Very good book in what i suspect is a good series. I will definately purchase a book from this series again prior to going anywhere abroad. i have been to thailand, but purchased this book on my return. i what somewhat mortified to learn that i had unwittingly made a few faux pas's! never again!

My collection of books on Thailand has grown to about 50 titles. Culture shock has proven to be the most usefull and helped me when I first visited Thailand and still is my favorite.
