1: dissapointment
Although I always buy Rough guides, I saw this National Geographic traveler Thailand that is full of beautiful pictures on great paper and I liked it, so I thought-ok, this time I will buy this guide, it can't be bad, it's National Geographic's!!
Oh, how wrong I was!
Guide is nice, but it is not sufficient if you travel like I do, on my own, backpacking around the country, without any travel agents. I doesn't provide you with the information you need, and although pictures of places look graet, information are poor. Not just where to go and what to do-everything is so shallow! I couldn't believe how superficial it is!
So, I would say-this guide is for people who will travel through a travel agency, in a group with a guide, so they don't need to think much (or at all), but just want to read or see a bit where they will be going.
If you are going to wander around the country and would like to know a lot about history, people, tradition, places, transport etc. buy a Rough guide, as I did at the end and love every page of it.

2: Reviewing NGT on Thailand
This has been a fabulous book. Better than I expected, which is crazy since Nat'l Geographic always puts out great stuff! I just didn't expect not only info. about the country, but also its history, popular tourist spots, maps, all kinds of stuff. we got alot more than what we expected for the money.

3: Great Guidebook
National Geographic guilde books are unique and provide the BEST information on the local sites and geography. Don't leave home without it!
