Thailand's Islands & Beaches

Meer over het boek

From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globe-trotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. With a special full-color section on marine life (nudibranches and spider crabs galore), this is the definitive guide to Thailand's beaches. The authors provide excellent coast-by-coast coverage complete with tantalizing photographs. If you are undecided, read with caution, as this book could easily prompt the purchase of your air ticket. --Kathryn True
