I bought this book based on the Fodor reputation of providing detailed, quality information. Sadly, after reading the parts pertaining to the "Southern Beaches" I was left with no greater understanding of where to go and what to do. If you are looking for a general info book on Thai places to visit and culture, it's a good read. Outside of Bangkok and Chang Mai, the info is limited. As far as accuracy is concerned, I haven't gone to Thailand yet so I cannot comment on it (going in May). I've found plenty of web sites that give you the "real deal" on Thailand, shopping guides, suggested prices, web links to see these hotels and other points of interests. If you know where you are going, PLEASE spend the money on a specific book to that city or region. Fodors is simply too generic since there is so much to cover anyway. An ok read for additional ideas but definitely not an inclusive book!

Excellent information and up to date compared to other guide books. easy to use. A lot of information. I haven't done my trip yet so cannot say how accurate it is but I am going to several places based on this guide book and feel confident that I have made the right choices.
