- Review:: '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.
- Review:: '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.
- Review:: 'The author assumes too little of the traveler to Thailand I bought the Frommers book mostly to meet the spending limit required to get free shipping for my online order .. and because it's smaller than the LP and bigger than Fodors (not bad), which I already have .. and I was curious. I've been to Thailand several times and speak decent Thai. This guide book is like your parents' or your grandparents' guidebook, though it tries in little ways to be different. It's characterization of travel in Thailand, and assumptions about your attitudes, says to me "you don't really want to see the real Thailand". They feel you'll be happiest at the newest, more expensive, cleanest, most Western hotels and restaurants and that you'll be more interested in the best-run, well-lit, safe and sanitary and `gee those curious Thai' types of attractions. They encourage you to be wary and worried (not always a bad idea, but hey, Thailand is a very safe place compared to the Americas!) and concerned about your hygiene (Thais, on average, are more concerned about hygiene than Westerners). Some advice is good, and info. on the sex trade is straightforward enough, which is appreciated because you can make up your own mind. On other subjects I feel they're mostly wrong, for example the quality of faux designer goods. They make 'cute' jokes about fake Rolex watches and designer fashion goods lasting a week, but actually the quality can be very good. Having bought many such items as fun gifts over the last 10 years, I can report that all the fake Rolexes I've purchased still keep accurate time! In other areas I think they also give poor advice, for example, online booking of hotels using Thai websites. These are actually where you get the best deals, not available at the hotels no matter what your bargaining skills. They advise using `trusted' US sites like Travelocity, Expedia, & Hotwire. Sure, but only if you're looking to spend money on expensive international-style hotels in big cities. It seems they prey on our fears out of their own fear of lawsuits .. not sure. Overall, there is some very good advice thrown in with questionable suggestions, but what kills me most is the attitude of the book - they can't really give it straight to you because they've got you pegged as a first-time traveler from the Midwest and they're 'looking out for you'.
- Review:: 'Don't Purchase This E-book for Pocket PC Frommer's guides provide good information. With an eye toward an upcoming vacation in Thailand, I purchased this e-book ... and have been very disappointed that it is completely incompatible with any Pocket PC device. - The Adobe Reader for Pocket PC WILL NOT display Adobe e-books. - Amazon.com does not clarify this information adequately for its shoppers. - In addition, Amazon.com won't refund e-book purchases! The result: if you buy this e-book, and plan to read it on your Pocket PC, you'll have wasted your money.
- Review:: '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.

- Review:: 'Good but Lonely Planet is capable of doing better We've been to Thailand before and covered a fair amount of the country. So purchasing the updated edition we were expecting to see a lot of the highlights of our previous visit, covered extensively. In this regard, Lonely Planet was a mixed bag. Some of the highlights from our visit to southern Thailand including details in and around Krabi were just not there. Also, visitors tend to use guidebooks and lean upon them for detailed recommendations of hotels. This book sets up brief and basic introductions, hoping instead that you use the internet instead to follow up on more details. Same for restaurants. If this was the true intention, websites and internet links would have been most helpful. Its obvious that the book is not a complete overhaul from the pervious editions. A lot of the material is identical, word for word. Details of new hotels, ferry schedules, or the new low cost airlines flying internally in Thailand or within S.E. Asia are just not mentioned. Still, its a reasonably exhaustive first step towards getting to know Thailand. And helping you plan your itinerary. Be warned though that you'll still want to use the internet a lot, to complement the information here. Finally, I was contempleting getting the Lonely Planet Thailand's Beaches (including Bangkok) but that's not been updated at all in a long time (I intend to primarily spend time in the southern coast) and this book would be fine for most people especially if you are not anticipating the northern areas like Chiang Mai. Because this full LP version is rather heavy... and you are likely to not carry it with you everywhere you go. Still, overall-- a 4 star effort. We are off to Thailand in August 2006. Stay tuned for updates to this review, the following month...
- Review:: 'Probably the best guide but leaves a bit to be desired My fiancee is originally from Thailand and I recently visited there and stayed with her family and friends. As I was taken around by native people, I got a different perspective than many who travel there. This guide could have benefitted greatly from a lot more Thai involvement in this production. It seems to rely much on the poorly worded English translations at many of the sites. Worse, it is sometimes rather snobby in its comments, such as by describing the amazing life and works of the Princess Mother (and the incredible palace she lived in at Doi Tung that was just stunning) as "On the theory that local hill tribes would be so honored by a royal prescence that they would stop cultivating opium, the late Princess mother built the Doi Tung Royal Villa." In actuality, the Princess Mother led an amazing life by any accounts. As another example, it misses some of the temples that can easily be seen when crossing over into Myanmar, and instead unhelpfully states that there is little to see. These comments can cause travelers to miss some of the most beautiful and interesting places. However, I did find it useful in terms of helping me to identify places as sometimes my Thai friends had difficulty completely explaining in English. Using the Lonely Planet allowed me to take some notes so that I could later research the full history of a place, which was definitely helpful. I just wish this guide would itself contain the information. However, it is the best out there as I found other guides to simply not be as comprehensive.
- Review:: 'Complete guide for Thailand Excellent information. Could diversify the itineraries a bit. Still, probably the best guide for Thailand.
- Review:: 'Good detail on less traveled Southern locations Last year I took the Rough Guide to Thailand and this year I am taking the latest edition of Lonely Planet. Already I can see a significant difference in the level of detail regarding smaller towns and islands. I especially like the attention to email access, as it's difficult to stay in touch without it. No guide is perfect, but the supplemental information about the status of recovery from the Dec. 2004 tsunami and policy changes under the current government help compensate for the frequent sales pitches for companion books from the large Lonely Planet library. If it's possible to update this review after I get back, I will!
- Review:: 'EXPERIENCE THE "REAL" THAILAND with this helpful guide! Travelers who want to experience true travel in Thailand, and get to really know the country will find this book irreplacable. A wonderful guide to an exciting country and its wonderful people and culture. Don't leave home without it!
