Book Review: For rich Backpacker or rich people only
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to say that this guidebook is one of the most lousy quide I have read in my life. No pictures, less details and humor, insufficient of actitivies, lack of excellent map (most maps were use as big territory in small map, worthless to navigate where you want to go), and most of the activities were plainly expensive, such as hotel, food, and how to get one place to another (I mean from one big city to another big city, im talking about how to get around cheaply). For example in Bangkok, most tourists want to go see the Grand Palace where the King live, and this guidebook only tell them to take the taxis, motorcyle, or tuk-tuk which is just plainly expensive. They did not mention a way to go there cheaper as taking the bus number 15 (I might be wrong) or subway then on the boat to the grand palace. (of course it will take longer and cheaper.) But isn't that what most people want, to see everything which take a bit longer and cheaper?
The point is, this guidebook is technically for people who have plenty of money and don't really care if the vendor sell them at a high cost or prefer luxury.
My suggestion is to take the Lonely Planet, no matter if they are a year or so old, they are still significant than the Frommer guidebooks. I had check most of the Frommer and I find them all absolutely worthless and made me a terrible travelers that want to see almost everything in Thailand which I didn't. I put the blame on Frommer.
Go for the Lonely Planet on most destination. such as, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, HK, malaysia, Singapore, and many others... it is important to have enough pictures to see to encourage you to see it. Lack of picture will only make you go to major cities and that's it.
