Frommer's does Thailand the Right Way,
This review is from: Frommer's Thailand: The Complete Guide to Bangkok and the Beach Resorts (Frommer's Thailand, 4th ed) (Paperback)
I am a strong believer in Arthur Frommer and his guides of top tourist destinations. The guide to Thailand 2000 is just another example of Frommers' dedication to American tourists. From inexpensive hotels in Bangkok to prehistoric tribes, Frommer's has created a masterpiece. Oh, and if you have the time, don't forget to visit the beaches in the south!

Who needs a ROUGH GUIDE?,
By
This review is from: Frommer's Thailand (Paperback)
When I went to Thailand last year, I ended up planning most of my trip according to this book. The author never steered me wrong. While this might not be the best source for the backpacker set, the rest of us are well served with a variety of options for most travel budgets. I also liked the author's sense of humor and frank honesty. She has lived in the region and knows what she is talking about. The Thais I encountered during my trip also thought highly of the book. When I return to Thailand in 2003, this updated version of the book will be right there with me. I know it is an "establishment" guide but this is one time when mainstream is not necessarily a bad thing.

Budget travelers don't look here.,
By "trincula" (Winchester, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frommer's Thailand: The Complete Guide to Bangkok and the Beach Resorts (Frommer's Thailand, 4th ed) (Paperback)
For the most part I find Frommer's travel books to be very good. This one for Thailand was decent. It gave good descriptions of places including how to get there, phone numbers, prices, ect. But this book was definately not meant for the budget traveler/ backpacker. If it offered more information geared to the budget traveler; ie: lower priced places to stay, dining, places to go to (especially the non-resorty places), I would give it 5 stars.
