This review is from: The Rough Guide to Bangkok 3 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I am a big fan of Rough Guides and Lonely Planet Guides. On my recent month long trip(for work) I used the Rough Guide to Bangkok. I was underwhelmed and would definitely recommend using the Lonely Planet. The writing was not poorly written and rambled at times. Page after page could have been consolidated into a few paragraphs. The recommendations for food were not extensive enough. It was an average book for travel.
