I recently traveled to Bangkok using Michael Buckley's book as a guide. It was an excellent source
for figuring out what to see (from the Grand Palace to Patpong). It also has simple maps that explain
how to get where you want to go. The book's specific descriptions help one travel around the city
whether by Tuk Tuk, river express boat or city bus. I highly recommend this book. It was the best of
any I read on travels in Bangkok.
Order it from the instead. For the diver or tourist who is contemplating a visit to Thailands reefs this book is an absolute gem.
Ideal for divers and snorkellers of all standards, it is well presented and extremely informative. The
number and quality of the sites reviewed is very good and it must be noted that the information
concerning other divers needs ie. accomodation, equipment hire, dive companies, photography and
medical arrangements is equally commendable. A reference book that I can guarantee will be well
thumbed for a good few years.
This book is loaded with photos, essays on culture and history,
descriptions of sights, and practical information. Full-color photos make this a great guide to buy if
you're still planning your itinerary (let the photos help you choose!) and it's a perfect companion to a
general guidebook.

Frommer's Thailand (4th Ed) by Jennifer Eveland, John Bozman Order it from the instead. Frommer's Thailand is a great guidebook. It is broken down into very helpful sections such
as "The Best of Thailand", "What to See and Do" "Where to Stay and Dine" and "Getting
There". Jennifer Eveland did a great job writing "Thailand: In Depth". The weight of the
book is of perfect weight for carrying around Bangkok and is printed on thick, quality
paper. Best of all, the prices are listed for everything! I think that is great because not
only do you get only their best recomendations, but you always get the most for your
money no matter what your budget. If I found out any of my friends were going to
Thailand, I would definately give them my copy of this guide.
The book is very accurate and a great guide to the islands, I recommend it to all first time visitors-
don't forget to visit the ragga club on the east side, the owner also has great living accomadations on
the ocean for the tourist.
Order it from instead. Including practical information for the business or independent traveller, this guide features: hundreds
of accommodation and restaurant options; local excursions to historic towns; coverage of temples,
museums and river trips; and a Thai language section, with script and pronunciation guide.
Order it from instead. Any travel guide is out of date before it's printed, L.P. is no exception. L.P. Bangkok is still
compact, very current, and quite useful. The City Guides
blend a "coffee table" book feel with useful info for backpackers, ex-pats, and "silk sheet set"
tourists.
Any Thai guide must address the flesh trade without sounding a dinner bell for sex tourists, and Joe
seems to walk this line nicely. (L.P. always seems to discourage travel for sex & drugs, though rock
and roll seems to always merit it's own section.)
There is nothing in this book that is not covered in the other general Thailand Guides. I would even
go so far to say the Rough Guides Thailand has more comprehensive information about places to
stay and things to do near the beaches.
Order it from instead. Lonely Planet Travel Atlas Thailand is a comprehensive collection of maps intended as a
companion to the Thailand guidebook. Each map was road-tested to ensure its accuracy; in
addition to the maps, there's a comprehensive index at the back to make finding locations even
easier, plus some general information about Thailand's system of highways, buses, and trains as well
as two other popular forms of travel in Southeast Asia: bicycles and boats. So if you're heading to
Thailand, be sure to pack both Lonely Planet Thailand and its companion, Travel Atlas.
Order it from instead. Of all the guides out there this is the one to get. Yes, they get a little preachy but nothing over the top
(ala Blue Guide) and I always find the history, food, culture and dangers/annoyances sections a help
- or at least decent reading on the plane. The cost info./ hotel recommendations are great, hit all
budget levels and the directions are usually right on. I can't believe Fodor's is still in business.
PS: I would pass on the phrase book. (or buy a used copy once you are there.)
From one that has travelled throughout the Kingdom over the past decade; this new kid on the block
handbook is the most deeply researched and detailed look at the magic kingdom of several other
guides previously used. The historical background, and articulate area descriptions are unrivaled.
The Thailand Handbook is the essential travel document for the moderate income traveller who
actually enjoys getting out among the people of Thailand, and off dreadful Khao San Rd. I strongly
recommend this book to anyone on a budget of over 40 dollars a day in Thailand. If not, one should
really go with one of the other "backpack" guides. The LP guide usually has a more extensive
selection of low cost accomodations and cheap food in the high concentration seedier tourist areas.
Above all, just get out there and enjoy the real Thailand as it's described in Parkes book.
