Customer Reviews

great in helping plan the trip

Book has good details on places to eat and shop. We already had a hotel, so we did not use that section.

dmti review

Frommer's Thailand 8th Edition is well written, very informative, nicely organized by regions, and I would say a good starting point anyone planning a trip to Thailand. Only weakness my mind is that it tends to emphasis the upscale, very expensive lodging versus the numerous & inexpensive "guest houses" that are quite comfortable and a bargain. Also, would be nice to have color photos representative of each region discussed.

Frommer's Thailand

Great and informative. Really could have reviewed a few more of the really exceptional top end restaurants in Thailand known mainly to the locals. More pictures of the area's you are visiting would be nice. My favorite hotel in the whole of Thailand would have to be Anantara Goldern Triangle - not to be missed.

Unjustly Maligned

I like this guide for the very reason others seem to bash it: it's written for the non-backpacker who would rather avoid sleeping on a luggage rack or eating in a hole in the wall. Been there, done that. But now I'm older and and can afford to budget a luxury or two when I travel. There's plenty of information on the sights, streets, spectacles, etc., but as noted, the tips on accommodation focus on 3.5-star places and above.

An excellent choice

I was lucky enough to select this guide for a week long trip to Bangkok and surrounding areas. The book had great maps and great suggestions for sites and methods of transportation. I would buy this again.
