Experience Travel Guides are unique in that they are designed to be read in the same way as a novel. They are a valuable resource for those planning to visit a destination, a source of information for those just interested in finding out more about a country and a pleasure for those armchair travelers who just enjoy a good read. Experience Thailand highlights the more rewarding parts of the country so that those planning a visit can quickly and efficiently plan an itinerary. We locate and detail the best places to see and the top experiences to enjoy, and recommend accommodation options in all areas. All are based on the personal experience of the author. We capture the personality and the underlying cultural and historical significance of the cities, regions and holiday destinations. We explore the wonderful beaches, travel the majestic northern mountains, meet hill-tribe village people, buy fascinating handicrafts, eat tantalizing cuisine, and enjoy fabulous massage. Each is put into context by chapters on Thai Life and the country's History. As more people travel to new destinations, guide books grow in importance. Hard-copy books, however, are often out of date before they are printed and users are frustrated by experiences contrary to what is described. This book has no such problem as it can be updated as often as necessary to keep it right up to date. This edition is the sixth in five years. Please realize, however, that no guide book can substitute for common sense. Thailand is a tropical country so you need to pack clothing, footwear and other items appropriate for that climate. It is primarily a Buddhist country so you should be aware of the customs and traditions associated with that religion. Be aware that the monarchy is revered and that contact with drugs should be totally avoided. We believe that every place in the world provides unique experiences which make a visit worthwhile. We encourage you to explore, meet the locals and grab each new opportunity as it arises. Travelling is fun but always do it with care and compassion. In that way your Thailand experience can provide lifetime memories.
