Very helpful book. I love the pictures since I'm a very visual person. I've used this book for years as I live in Thailand.

I hate travel guides, but they are so necessary. There is a good introduction in this book. The relevant Places, however, left a lot to be desired. Do not follow advice for hotels, restaurants or other necessary places. Check Thai/Asian magazines for better options.

Once a travel guide is written its already out of date. I used this for the cultural pieces, maps, practical info, etc. But when it comes to the pages of hotel and restaurant recommendations I skipped right along.

I always take LP but the DK guides are so much more visual. The detailed diagrams are beautiful before, during and after a trip. I've lost count of the people who asked to look through this book.

A great guide covering many aspects of Thailand and with the usual great features. A return to form for DK guides after the lows of Singapore and Bali.

Another great detailed and colourful eyewitness guide.
Used to travel around Thailand in 2011.
Very much recommended.

Not planning a trip, just trying to educate myself.

đọc cuốn này chắc mắc cười nhất là lâu lâu coi trúng mấy cái wiki tiếng Việt hài thiệt hài, ví dụ có ông hoàng tử kia có cái tên dài thoòng xong wiki tiếng Việt dịch tên ổng là "ông Hoàng tử Hoàng tử Chitcharoen, các Hoàng tử Narisara Nuwattiwong" : ))))))))))))))))) nguyên bầy quàng tử nghe thí thương, ròi một ông quàng tử khác xây cái điện tên là "lánh xa ưu phiền" xong xi nghĩ chắc ổng thí phiền vì mấy cái tên dài thoòng loooònggg qué, thặc tọi nghịp anh =))
ò và cuốn này vui hơn cuốn Anh đó, hahaa

I love Eyewitness Travel Guides for the amazing photos and small details they include! I try to get one of these guides for every country I visit!

Thailand is vast, mysterious and alluring. I hope to travel there someday - this book is good for one's armchair journeys.

Not enough practical information.

Just a list of sites in Thailand. I was looking for more detailed recommendations as to where to stay, almost no hotel descriptions or ratings. Limited guidance as to how to travel within Thailand. Few restaurant recommendations. Little guidance as to neighborhoods, i.e. whether they are safe or attractive or slummy, etc., all the things a traveler wants to know. I won't buy another DK travel guide again. And I did read it cover to cover.

Eyewitness always gives just enough information and beautiful pictures

This is a regular travel guide. I don't think it is any better than the others.
