This book appears to contain the compendium of knowledge regarding Thailand. Too bad the font is so small that even my teenage daughter says it hurts her eyes. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK unless you want to use a magnifying glass to read it. Very disappointed.

This is the worst guidebook I’ve had the misfortune to buy; if I had the time, I would have returned it. Unless you have perfect vision the entire book is printed in a tiny font on very thin paper, making it hard on the eyes. The reviews are incredibly biased, totally slanted towards travelers who want to eat street food, stay in backpacker or budget accommodations… It does not take disabilities, age or food allergies into consideration & assumes, in a rather mean-spirited manner, that if you don’t want to stay in a low budget place or eat, very spicy street food, that something is wrong with you. Being a disabled traveler who is unable to stay in low budget accommodations because they aren’t accessible, I was stunned by the lack of information on moderately priced hotels (let alone pricey ones). If you want to try the haute cuisine of Bangkok, stay in moderate or upscale hotels, instead of backpacking, buy Fodor’s guide, as there’s no information here, just judgments on your inability to ’slum it’. TERRIBLE.

If you plan to head to Thailand, just bring this book, some money, and some clothes and you’ll be set. This book changed and saved my life. Thank you, China Williams! Words fail me when I think of all this book has been done for me, but I’m glad they never fail China and her crew. Imagine mixing Paul Theroux with the Upanishads and you have this latest edition of LP Thailand! Each page is infused with wisdom, wit, and humor.

Lonely Planet guides consistently provide accurate information. It is great especially for people who budget travel, travel light (backpack) and want some adventure.
Rating: 5 / 5
I really expected more from this book. It had basic info about lodging and food, but really quite basic and obvious stuff. I was frustrated many times looking for places to eat. The section on Koh Samui was almost totally useless. There was nothing here to make it worth the price.
