Colorful Thailand!
We used this book on our travels to the coast of THailand and stayed at Koi Samui. I wished that the book had revealed more about Koi Samui and hope that future editions would add more than two pages of coverage. Regardless, DK always is first rate in pictures and explaining the life of Thailand which is a beautiful country. After visiting Thailand for a wedding, the coastline of Thailand has become a top destination for weddings and reception. It's no wonder since the waters are spectacular clear, shallow, and peaceful. I had a wonderful time which I highly recommend going. I highly recommend Bangkok Airways which has great first rate service. The people of Thailand were just wonderful whether at the resort and spas or just in general. It's like paradise on earth in Thailand.

Love these Eyewitness Guides and received the item in perfect condition, just in time for the weekend, a fire in the fireplace, a warm blanket, a cup of hot chocolate, and away I went to Thailand! Thanks for making an Ohio winter almost bearable!
