Written by a specialist on South East Asia who has lived, worked and travelled extensively in the region for over 15 years, this updated handbook on Thailand provides both background and detailed travel information. It explains how to get off the well-mapped-out "routes" to other areas such as Northeast Thailand, a highly distinctive part with a Laothian culture and a Cambodian heritage. Lightweight and portable, the handbook also includes: information about where to stay - from luxury hotels to good-value guest houses; useful words and phrases; information on bars, nightlife and where and what to eat; detailed coverage of the expanding number of parks - such as Khoa Sam Roi Yod National Park in the southern peninsula which was opened in 1996 and is Thailand's first marine park; and background on history, culture, the archaeological heritage and modern Thailand.
Joshua Eliot Joshua has a long-standing interest in Southeast Asia and Thailand in particular. He spent a year living in a small town in northeast Thailand in the early 1980's. Since then he has visited the country 2 to 3 times each year. He speaks Thai, Lao and Indonesian. Jane Bickersteth Jane has been visiting Thailand for over ten years. She is an artist and is particularly inspired by the Khmer ruins of Thailand.
