Don't leave without it: An absolute necessity if you are planning on visiting southern Thailand. We have used and used the book. It's real advantage is that it includes Bangkok and the southern beaches and so all holidays are covered.
As usual the rough guide is informative and gives plenty of advice.
You really need this book if you are planning on visiting Thailand, particularly if you are planning a two-stop or three-stop visit.

Content is good but font is so small it is almost impossible to read.

Membeli buku ini dengan maksud sebagai panduan untuk berwisata ke phuket 22 - 24 juni yang lalu, lumayan helpful meski ada beberapa harga yang tidak tepat lagi. Perlu dicatat bahwa pada akhir tahun lalu di Thailand terjadi pergantian rezim yang memberikan efek sedikit pada kenaikan harga harga.

Selebihnya saya kira semua digambarkan dengan sangat tepat. perhatikan saja rekomendasi Thammachat (natural restoran) di 62/5 Soi Putorn, kota phuket yang memang rasanya luar biasa, berikut pelayanannya yang juga incredible. juga review restoran baan rinpa di kota Ao Patong, very tasteful

satu yang paling saya rekomendasikan untuk dibeli jika hendak ke thailand

Like many Thailand guide books, this included a lengthy Buddhism section. It seems like a necessary one so people are not shocked on why people are the way they are.
