4.0 out of 5 stars The Treasures and Pleasures of Thailand, March 1, 2006

By	Robert J. Sells - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Treasures and Pleasures of Thailand (Fourth Edition) (Impact Guides) (Paperback)

This book was very well written and helpfull. However we found some of the information out of date. Thailand, especially Bangkok has an economy flourishing right now. The price of the 5 star hotels the book recommends may be a deal by New York or San Francisco standards they seemed very expensive to me. One should carefully consider the recommendations made by the book. The book does a good job of identifing quality, but does not differentiate value for the dollar. We thought our best shopping was through our own efforts. But perhaps thats was the best part of the experience.
