This review is from: Utopia Guide to Thailand (2nd Edition) : the Gay & Lesbian Scene in 23 Cities Including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya & Phuket (Paperback)

I ordered this book to help on my trip to Bangkok. It was a good guide. But the reviews in the book where 2 yrs old. The book is full of information, but not maps. If you have access to the internet where you can get maps and updated info. I would suggest that before you order this book. Plus, I also suggest a Nancy Chandler's map for just general info and shopping.
