As a Thai, I found this book surprisingly accurate to a certain degree. Even to some notorious aspects about Thailand, it provides some truthful information rather than worse-than-reality stuff for those potically correct issues. The graphics is amazing and precise in terms of Thai architecture (I’m an architect). Another compliment goes to some inside info e.g. shopping districts and local customs. I even decided to buy a copy myself even though it’s my own country as a good intro to Thailand whenever my Ameican friends ask me to describe it which they usually do. I recommend this book for people who search for cultural aspect rather than hotels and restaurants. I’m using some books from this very series to travel in Europ too.

This is a great book with beautiful pictures, maps and nice glossy color pages. The only problem being that it is out of date! Having said that, I would not recommend it for your guide book if travelling to Thailand. Wait for an updated issue.
I am well travelled in Thailand and some of the descriptions in the book make me feel like I was travelling in Thailand 20 years ago! Hope this helps…

We liked this book a lot. It is not so much a tour guide as an illustrated encyclopedia of what you see in Thailand, with clear, labelled drawings of things such as the interior of a Wat. A great book if you want to understand what you’re looking at.

I found Eyewitness Travel Guide for Thailand very informative, and easy to read. It had tons of pictures, facts, FYIs, and did I mention pictures? Like Eyewitness I agree that a picture is worth a thousand words. I also bought Lonely Planet’s Travel Guide for Thailand, but liked Eyewitness’ much better. Lonely Planet’s Travel Guide had a more standard layout for the abundant amount of facts, but was limited on the pictures. The phrase at the bottom of Eyewitness’ book holds true, “The Guides That Show You What Others Only Tell You.”

Truly a wonderful travel guide. This is a must have for your adventures in Amazing Thailand. This book gives you all the information you need, when you pack for your vacation this will be the only travel reference you will need to take with you. A valuable tool in exploring Bangkok and the surronding regions. The maps inside helped us get back to our hotel on more than one occasion, a definate life saver and an essential necessity.
