Robyn ，

This was GREAT！ Super useful for planning our trip as a foundation。 You definitely should be exploring further than just the scope of this book， but it is extensive and informative。

Kirsty ，

I used this for a trip to Phuket on an Asian cruise in December 2019。 Although I have largely been impressed by Lonely Planet guides in the past， this one was lacking， and the section on Phuket tiny。 The guide may be better for those planning longer trips and island hops around Thailand， and I might come back to it in future when planning a longer trip， but at this moment in time， I must admit that I am rather disappointed。

Dongjing ，

I haven't used much of the info in the book， since plenty of tour companies provide guided trips in both Chiang Mai and Bangkok。 It's also convenient to book tours or dining on klook。 I haven't used much of the info in the book， since plenty of tour companies provide guided trips in both Chiang Mai and Bangkok。 It's also convenient to book tours or dining on klook。 。。。more

Está bastante bien detallado

Rodrigo Mendoza ，

The only flaw with this guide is that it barely talks about a town that turned out to be the most magical town I've ever visited: Pai。 DO NOT MISS IT！！ Rent a scooter in Chiang Mai and enjoy the beautiful scenery as you work your way through hundreds of curves to this quaint town full of love and laughter。 WARNING: you'll stay there longer than you intended The only flaw with this guide is that it barely talks about a town that turned out to be the most magical town I've ever visited: Pai。 DO NOT MISS IT！！ Rent a scooter in Chiang Mai and enjoy the beautiful scenery as you work your way through hundreds of curves to this quaint town full of love and laughter。 WARNING: you'll stay there longer than you intended 。。。more

Tri Le ，

Good basic overview of Thailand。 Plenty of useful maps and tidbits of information。 Well organized and typical of Lonely Planet guides。

Mindaugas Mozūras ，

Found it useful for my travels through Thailand （ongoing at the moment of writing）。 Can't rate it higher due to dry writing style。 It included some stories and history， would love even more of that。 Found it useful for my travels through Thailand （ongoing at the moment of writing）。 Can't rate it higher due to dry writing style。 It included some stories and history， would love even more of that。 。。。more

Very good recap and detailed travel book！

Alexandria Rauf ，

Granted I have not gotten to Thailand yet （later this year， I will！）， I think this is a great guide to give you a good start in vacation/travel research。 It does bring up ethics in regards to elephant sanctuaries （and does mention ones that allow elephant riding--which is a BIG no-no for elephant health）， but misses out on some of the ones I've been researching separately。 Overall， it has given me some ideas of where I want to go， and what places I want to avoid。 Definitely appreciate the inform Granted I have not gotten to Thailand yet （later this year， I will！）， I think this is a great guide to give you a good start in vacation/travel research。 It does bring up ethics in regards to elephant sanctuaries （and does mention ones that allow elephant riding--which is a BIG no-no for elephant health）， but misses out on some of the ones I've been researching separately。 Overall， it has given me some ideas of where I want to go， and what places I want to avoid。 Definitely appreciate the information on scams。 。。。more

Necessary for travel！

Holly ，

This book was really helpful for my two week trip to Thailand。 I knew what to get， learn， and focus on to be respectful and have fun in Thailand。 Well worth the money， and I will use this book for my NEXT trip to Thailand！！ Foods， local tips， rules， currency。。。。。。all in here。

Kim Lanza ，

Lonely Planet is my go-to source。 I got lucky and it was just updated。 However， I have found that using an outdated LP guide us better than a recent one from another publisher。

detailed and lucid account of all you are to do in Thailand as a tourist。value for money。bit oriented to wealthy travelers。this is lonely planets top seller worldwide in country guides series。

Tammy Mckeever ，

I enjoyed it but when visiting my "kids" in Thailand they notes that much of the information was not accurate， at least in their area of Thailand。 On the other hand I was able to share a lot of information they didn't know and that was fun for us all！ I enjoyed it but when visiting my "kids" in Thailand they notes that much of the information was not accurate， at least in their area of Thailand。 On the other hand I was able to share a lot of information they didn't know and that was fun for us all！ 。。。more

Read this while travelling around Thailand in Jan this year。 Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling！ Gives great insight into the history and culture as well as things to do and see around the country。 Will also be using again when I go back！

Jorge Pelicano Paulos ，

A beautiful country which definitely deserves at least a visit during a lifetime。 This guide， however， shows up with some mistakes， reason why I always had to double-check its information before leaving to a specific place。 Have in mind， though， that doing a personal research about specific details on Thailand transportations or attractions may be difficult and challenging。

Christiana Hadji ，

It does cover the basics， but I would never EVER take any Lonely Planet information for granted without double and triple checking it online from other sources。 In my opinion all travel guidebooks should be conducted with the assistance of locals to eliminate mistakes and gaps。 After reading Lonely Planet Cyprus （I'm Cypriot）， I realized that this is not the case （lots of mistakes a local would never make， lots of important info missing） and since then I'm more skeptical about anything I read in It does cover the basics， but I would never EVER take any Lonely Planet information for granted without double and triple checking it online from other sources。 In my opinion all travel guidebooks should be conducted with the assistance of locals to eliminate mistakes and gaps。 After reading Lonely Planet Cyprus （I'm Cypriot）， I realized that this is not the case （lots of mistakes a local would never make， lots of important info missing） and since then I'm more skeptical about anything I read in travel guides。 It doesn't matter how long you're visiting a country for and how many expats you talk to。 Locals will ALWAYS be more knowledgeable about their own country， and I don't see any Thai names among the writers of this book。 Plus， I would have liked to know more about transportation options （i。e。 ferry and bus timetables and routes）， especially for Bangkok。 Considering I bought it used for only 10 euros I'm quite happy with it， but I would have been disappointed had I paid full price。 。。。more

Monica DiNatale ，

There is tons of useful information in this Thailand book。 Most things in Thailand are reasonably priced so it was very helpful to have recommendations of hotels and restaurants。 The street food is amazing！ The maps are soooo helpful when looking for a beautiful beach to check out。 I picked Phuket。 I am so happy they gave me the advice to take a cooking class too。

[2011。12。07] Used 2009 13th Edition to plan the Chiang Mai portion of our Nov-Dec 2011 trip （approx 3 days）。 Though a little outdated， it was sufficient。

Jana Kaplan ，

I borrowed it from the library， and it convinced me that i need to go to thailand :）

Kalua80 ，

I loved all the pictures and the writing style。

Catherine Woodman ，

Excellent series of guidebooks with a n emphasis not just on the big cities， and expensive restaurants but to more affordable and unusual destinations。

Michelle Pasanna ，

The last few Lonely Planet books I've used have been a bit disappointing。 Their recommendations seemed very average and the maps only moderately useful。 We also found the that the walking tours where a lot of tramping around without much explanation。Their explanation of the Thai language was helpful， however there were 3 different sections of the book we had to refer to depending on whether the phrases were food related （at the front）， general inquiry （3/4 the way through） or glossary terms （in The last few Lonely Planet books I've used have been a bit disappointing。 Their recommendations seemed very average and the maps only moderately useful。 We also found the that the walking tours where a lot of tramping around without much explanation。Their explanation of the Thai language was helpful， however there were 3 different sections of the book we had to refer to depending on whether the phrases were food related （at the front）， general inquiry （3/4 the way through） or glossary terms （in the rear。 This left us with a mass of bookmarks and lots of cross referencing。I think I'm a bit over LP and will just stick to clipping free online sources next trip。 。。。more

A useful and helpful guide to Thailand， although I find the Thailand edition doesn't give as good directions for taking transport between cities as other countries versions have done before。 A useful and helpful guide to Thailand， although I find the Thailand edition doesn't give as good directions for taking transport between cities as other countries versions have done before。 。。。more
