Description
This brand new edition Insight Guide to Thailand features a wealth of inspiring full-colour photography, including outstanding double page spreads. The top ten sights are identified to show you the very best of Thailand and to help you plan your trip priorities. An Editor's choice section highlights the most unique experiences Thailand has to offer, along with personal recommendations on what to see and do whilst there, such as a visit to the ancient city: Samut Prakan, or Canal Cruising in Bangkok, not to mention the top beaches and dive sites. An in-depth Places section covers the entire country, region by region, with all the principal sites cross-referenced by number to the accompanying full-colour maps. Additional maps inside the front and back covers enable instant orientation and easy navigation around Thailand; the first depicting the country as a whole and the latter detailing Bangkok, along with Skytrain and Metro routes highlighted. At the end of each regional section you can find useful restaurant listings, along with an indication of prices, suitable for all budgets.
Other colour-coded sections cover history; tracing Thailand's earliest civilisations to contemporary monarchy, and also interesting features on everything from Religion and Architecture to Performing Arts and the friendly Thai people themselves. A comprehensive Travel Tips section details transport, accommodation for all budgets, eating out, activities, language and an A-Z of other practical information, including useful contact numbers, to ensure your trip goes smoothly. The unique combination of insightful exploration alongside practical advice means that this guide truly is a pleasure to read before, during and after your visit. With this guide you also receive a FREE HotelClub loyalty card, offering GBP15 off your first hotel booking plus great savings of up to 60% on over 30,000 hotels across 120 countries.
