5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic series and this one doesn't disappoint, 26 July 2001
By A Customer
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!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Provides an excellent insight, 27 Dec 2004
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a read
From what i have read so far this book is firmly aimed at the tourist. It also for me seems to start by looking at the negative sides of things although most of them are quite... Read more
