This guide states in the Intro that it's a companion to their

website. Instead of printing web links (which do go bad with time),

they encourage us readers to use their website, which they say state

is updated daily. Cool!

I also appreciated reading comments by actual travelers and people

living in the places I want to visit. Most of these were recent. A

few were from years past, which I don't mind as long as they are

relevant to my holiday! It also gave me a bit of confidence knowing

that Utopia has obviously been around for some time.

I would have liked some simple maps to help with finding places, so

that would be my suggestion for the next edition!

This book is not really a guide book. It certainly gives infotmation about gay life and venues in the main countries of South East Asia. It's probably the first book of its kind about this part of the world. And that's already a good reason to buy it. But you must know that most of the book is made out of Internet pages prints. You get some info but also many links, most of which are incomplete. Some travellers comments included are over 2 years old. And after browsing the book, you feel like to go online to get fresh news...
