On my way
I am enjoying planning my trip to Thailand so much with this book. Lots of fun

Pretty good handbook when you are on the move
Thailand's Islands & Beaches is a great book, as most of the books by Lonely Planet. Though you get tons of infomation that sometimes seems a little too musch. You have to learn to navigate around it, but when that is in place, it is really a big help.

Life's a Beach!
I bought this travel guide for my upcoming trip to Thailand. I plan on spending 3 weeks, one in massage school in Bangkok and the rest at various dive sites in the South. So far this book has been very thorough on what to expect from Thai food, culture, etc. This is a great reference/guidebook. Supplement it with more current reviews/prices on-line.
