5.0 out of 5 stars Thailand Islands & Beaches, January 30, 2007
This book is particularly helpful as it contains many detailed maps. As well, the accomodation section is very useful for the traveler who does not have any set plans as it helps to show several different price ranges from budget to high end & includes phone numbers & websites of them frequently.
there are also tips for every type of traveler here in very detailed sections on every province in thailand. although it says islands & beaches there is a very good section on Bangkok city itself which is good as most people start & end up their Thailand vacation there anyway & spend some time in the city.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, April 7, 2007
By Power User (California) - See all my reviews
One of the worst guide books I have ever read Sparse inaccurate information. Even though published March 2004 tells readers a Tuk Tuk in Patong Beach costs 10 baht (it costs 150 baht!)Full of broad information obviously culled from other (older) guides, not learned by personal experience. Garbage. Don't waste your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good handbook when you are on the move, May 18, 2008
By M. R. Petersen "Rylander" (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Thailand's Islands & Beaches is a great book, as most of the books by Lonely Planet. Though you get tons of infomation that sometimes seems a little too musch. You have to learn to navigate around it, but when that is in place, it is really a big help.
