 Rating:  - Great All Around Guide!This guide is great and seems to be the guide of choice of pretty much everyone I saw during my three week stint in Thailand.

It does not take disabilities, age or food allergies into consideration & assumes, in a rather mean-spirited manner, that if you don't ... Read More Rating: - Great tour bookLots of information. The websites are in general up to date. There is a lot to see in Thailand so this book covers a lot of the popular areas.
