More About the Author

Nine years ago the founder of LUXE City Guides, Grant Thatcher, was at a party in Singapore. He was told that if he were ever to go to Bangkok, then he must be sure to take the several A4 pages that he was now being handed, as they contained the best insider knowledge on the city. Everybody, it seemed, loved this saucy list.

Grant looked at the list. It seemed familiar. It looked exactly like the list he had written for friends before he left Bangkok. Shut up, and get out of here! Dong! It's true. The rest, as they say, is history.

This review is from: LUXE Phuket (5th Edition) (LUXE City Guides) (Pamphlet)

This was my first experience with Luxe. Travel is a passion with me and I have tried all the major travel Lonely Plane, DK Eyewitness, Frommer's etc. I thought I would try a new one and uncover a gem. Instead I paid $9.99 for a list of hotels, restaurants and stores that I could have gotten off the internet for free. There was little to no unique content or perspective. I would not recommend Luxe.
