DK eyewitness makes the best travel guides (and i've tried them all) particularly if you're looking to use this to help you make decisions around where to go. I would say in this age, the internet provides us the most up to date travel logistics/directions and restaurant reviews. however, there is nothing out there that is a book or a webpage that contains as many useful pictures, maps, and visuals as this book to help actually determine what you want to do! Any time I travel, I always get a DK eyewitness book, it is my go to reliable and awesome source of travel information.

Just as it has done for me on trips to Europe and the British Isle DK has come through for me again with this series about South East Asia. The maps make it easy to navigate and don't require me to buy maps of major tourist sites as they are already included and it helps to get you excited and know what you want to see when you get there with its beautiful displays. They got it right as they always seem to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thailand Guide Makes Planning Easy
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2010

I ordered this book for our upcoming two-week honeymoon vacation in Ko Samui, Thailand. There are so many travel guides out there, I wasn't sure how this one would compare, but it is so extensive and detailed in its information and tips, that I feel ready to go! I would recommend this to anyone visiting the island.

I would say this is a book you want to review before you travel, but not necessarily take with you since it's heavy. It is a beautiful and easy to follow guidebook with color pictures on every page. I bought one for Rome as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, not so useful on the ground
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2012
Verified Purchase
The book was very helpful for me in the early stages of planning my 1st trip to Thailand. It gives a nice, chatty overview with lots of pictures. However, once there, it was close to useless as a travel guide as it lacked both the detail and breadth of information you need to find your way in a very unfamiliar place. Of the 3 books I used, this was the weakest, Frommers was middling, and the Lonely Planet was the most valuable once there.

DK guides have been always travelling with me around the world. Every time they were bringing essential information about place of visit in compact easy to access form. DK Guide about Thailand is not exception and I am taking it for my upcoming trip having it read already through 3 times.

This is a really good quality overview of Thailand - great pictures and a wealth of information to help you set the scene for your visit. However, if you're looking for lots of detail this is not the one for you. i loved it and it has helped me narrow down where i want to visit. I'd really recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I always travel with these DK Eyewitness Travel guides
Reviewed in France on September 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
I really like to use these travel guides. I generally always buy one for the country/city I am going to visit. They provide interesting and practical facts about sightseeing, using the local public transport or driving, getting to/from airports, eating out, going out, shopping, useful maps of city centres, health and safety tips, some background history, etc.

The translations (and pronunciation guide) of common phrases in the local language are useful but sometimes limited. Although lots of picture makes the book more interesting in itself and makes for a nice bookshelf souvenir afterwards.

Another great thing about the series is that the books are always laid out in the same way. So once you start using them, you'll always know what information you can find and where it will be in the book.

A slight drawback is that the books are medium-size and can weigh from 500-800 grams (depending on which city/country the book is for), and the paperback versions always get a bit dog-eared being carried around in my day-pack.

To paraphrase and old credit card ad: "I won't leave home without one of these guide books".

Eyewitness travel guides are great, i love the clear pictures and the way the information is laid out. its a really helpful guide for when you're walking around a temple for example, as these guides give a little history on each aspect of the building.
