Reviews

[ThePostbook · Rating 4 out of 5]

This Rough Guide takes us through 12 South East Asian countries:
Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam

It has detailed maps to guide us to the tourist place and since we have visited 4 of these 12 countries, we can confidently say that the list of the places to visit is pretty holistic and the maps accurate.

[Christina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great guide for budget travellers who like to have some social and cultural context in their guidebooks. The extra info makes it a bit heavy for those who like just the facts, please, but I think the extra cultural insight is invaluable, especially when the cultures are so different.

This book is useless. Use your money wisely and buy a Lonely Planet.

I wish there were more pictures, like in my Lonely Planet book, but I'm so pumped for our trip!
