Best travel book I have ever read!November 8, 1998 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you are looking for a Thailand travel book, this is it. The many beautiful pictures and the well written articles on every aspect of Thai culture are invaluable for the traveller or the person who simply dreams of exotic locales. Definitely a must purchase!
Elegant and informative - just a terrific bookNovember 5, 1998 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a beautiful, elegant and informative book put together in a distinctive, attractive style. You will want to keep this book after you return from your trip to Thailand so that you may continue to enjoy its illustrations and photos. Recommended for any traveler - however independent travelers should bring another guide book along as well.
Nice ornament for a coffee table but fails as a travel guideJune 30, 1998 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This beautifully published glossy guidebook contains an abundance of visually striking, highly professional photography. A few oblique angle illustrations of some temple sites would be a welcome addition to any guide. However, as a source of useful information, it is a disappointment. It is short on hard facts and will undoubtedly be left at home when the trip begins. For an easy-to-use format with more meat I preferred Fodors. At the other extreme, with everything you could possible want to know, is Footprint. The latter, however, is not so user friendly.
