Eyewitness Travel Guide Thailand

For those undecided, we would like to recommend a particularly good guide, we took on our trip more than useful.

The Eyewitness Travel Guide Thailand was our loyal companion and has always led us to a good hostel (if not more times Travelerempfehlungen further helped). Also here you will find many useful information about prices, customs, religion, etc.
A special highlight for us was the time table of train departure times in the Appendix, we have mainly used the car as your means =)

Here you find the handbook at Amazon for € 26.95 which is definitely worth it and we believe are better spent than, say, one in Lonely Planet (we have also, however, we found less useful, because much information is outdated)
