5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave without it, 20 May 2002

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Great Book of knowledge, 23 Jan 2009

By	Peter Searl (Chelmsord,Essex, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Thailand's Beaches and Islands (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY useful, 24 Mar 2004

By	"ben3085" - See all my reviews

I'm going to Thailand for 2 months this summer. I'll be going to Bangkok and the Southern islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, and this book has been invaluable in my planning, I'd strongly reccommend it to everyone planning to go anywhere covered by this book.

I own this and the Lonely Planet equivalent which was given to me. As usual, the Rough Guide is infinitely better. Read more
