Review of The Rough Guide to Thailand's Beaches & Islands 3 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Have been using this book while planning an upcoming trip to Thailand.I have used Lonely Planet books in the past but I think I will be switching to Rough Guide from now on.This book contains lots of helpful info on all areas of Thailand's beaches and islands as well as a thorough section on Bangkok.Unlike Lonely Planet, Rough Guide does not assume that only backpackers will be using their guidebooks and therefore makes an effort to review all levels of accomodation and restaurants.
