 Good Addition to the Backpack November 25, 2007
This book provides a good handy reference guide, but don't expect to use it as your travel guide, it's more of a supplement. It's certainly more interesting than the text dense Lonely Planet I've got. If you enjoy a little more vivid detail about the place your going, this is a good choice.
 Would like to give 0 stars August 19, 2007
Waste of money.
I THOUGHT I was buying the Insight Guide, not the Insight "pocket" guide. The Insight Guide is a worthwhile guide. Be careful when you buy and don't waste your money on this.
 Outstanding Guide to Thailand! July 12, 2007

I have visited Thailand nearly every year for the past six years. I find Insight Guide Thailand to be informative, accurate, easy to navigate around and a pleasure to use, with beautiful photography. It contains fairly in-depth reviews of Thai history, religion and culture. Cross-references to map locations of sights of interest are really handy. I feel the Insight Guides outclass Lonely Planet Guides and are much more user-friendly. I would not travel without my Insight Guides!
I also find Insight Guide Philippines to be outstanding.
Great for pictures May 12, 2007

I bought this book in conjunction with a Frommer's guide to Thailand. I bought this book solely to supplement my Frommer's guide which lacks pictures and some other info that Insight Guide provides. Insight provides lots of information about the history and culture behind cities, places, and attractions. It also has a few detailed maps which is nice. However, it is very, very limited in other things that you might expect from a guide book. The book is silent on things such as city orientation, how to get from the airport to the city, costs of things such as taxis and entrance fees to attractions, ratings on attractions, etc. For those sort of things and many other travel tips and hints, you should look into other books, like Frommer's, Fodor's, Lonely Planet, etc. (I chose Frommer's for my trip and have found it very helpful - although I haven't gone on my trip yet).
FYI: Frommer's, Fodor's, and Lonely Planet all have website with the type of information that is in their books if you want to get a feel for them (it's free).
Happy travels!
