2.0 out of 5 stars
Stick with Lonely Planet!,
By Shogun Len "tokieyasu" (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Southeast Asia (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I recently spent the month in Southeast Asia. I thought I could save time, money, and space by buying just one guidebook for the region. So I bought the Rough Guide to Southeast Asia. A BIG MISTAKE! I ended up throwing the book out in Bangkok and switching to bootleg Lonely Planets for sale all over Southeast Asia for about [price]!I had heard good things about the Rough Guide, but personally found the book not that usefull at all. I do not recommend buying this book. LP is the way to go!
