Don't leave without it
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.

One Great Book of knowledge
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.

VERY useful
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.
