5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic compilation of stories about Thailand, 30 Jan 1997
By A Customer
Reading this book feeds my homesickness for Thailand. The book contains dozens of non-fiction stories about Thailand written by all types of people: foreign and Thai, tourists, backpackers, religious seekers, scientists, officials, etc. This book is a must-read for anyone planning a visit to Thailand, or for those of us who have spent time there and miss it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with personal insights not found elsewhere, 1 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Leaving for Bangkok on October 28th. This book is not like a professional tourism book. The articles have personality, feelings, and the requisite facts but are presented to the reader in a manner which suggests one-on-one conversations. The range of topics is universal meaning that you will find an article in the book on almost anything concern visit to Thailand. Phuket or Samoi, Bangkok or Pattaya, or discourses on life in a Wat or life in Patpong are all here. Chang Mai and the highlands or the peninsula southern regions are all on view. A most enjoyable book. When I return in mid November, please contact me if you have any questions from a returning visitor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent essays on interesting, varied subjects., 27 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I have read other Travelers' Tales (France, Spain) and have enjoyed all of them. The personal experiences of real travelers is more valuable than just guidebook-suggestions of places to see and things to do. I like the addition of 15 Things not to Miss at the end of the book. Well done!
