Let's Go Southeast Asia.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An excellent read covering many countries which are not covered in other travel guide series. Highly recommended. I can't wait for the next edition of Let's Go Southeast Asia.

I will be traveling to Borneo (Sipadan), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a fabulous scuba diving trip this Thanksgiving. I look forward to using this book for my travels. The colors are vibrant. Layout is easy to read. Great book!
Excellent introduction to SE Asia

I have not travelled to this region, but found the guide a fine overview of sites, culture, and history. Told in a relaxed style with some refreshing anecdotes boxed alongside the text. Sufficient maps.
great resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
while traveling through cambodia and vietnam I actually had a couple different guidebooks. overall I think Let's Go's guide is the better resource, and especialyl for a traveler who's covering a lot of ground in southeast asia. if you use it in conjunction with another guide, I think, you will really get a good feeling for what to do. i would not advise anyone to take just one guide, no matter what, or to use Lonely Planet alone, which was really god awful. the information in my Lonely Planet was laughable, as many of the maps were lacking. and in general i think LP's maps and info aren't as clear. While Let's Go could stand to give more options for different establishments and price ranges, the quality of its places are generally higher--with a few exceptions-- whereas LP just lists every single place regardless of whether its a hell hole or not (you will learn this very quickly) though I don't usually have an allegiance to a certain brand, I'm pretty sure I'll take let's go with me when I go to India this summer, too. it seems that for the developing world, its a rock solid resource.
Great book for the budget-minded traveler
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I went to Thailand and Laos in May 2005 for 3 weeks and my brother and I took a copy of Lets Go and Rough Guide. I also browsed through a copy of Frommers and Fodors, but they were not what I was looking for. For the budget minded traveler, Lets Go is excellent at listing great travel options and has prices listed for everything. Another bonus is the instructions for the border crossings and travel possibilities from city to city. Some other books were bad about giving few routes for travel. One negative is that Lets Go reviews very few guesthouses and restaurants. Also, I found it hard to believe that they didn't give thumbs up to any activities in Laos?! There were some many cool things that were listed but underemphasized. Regardless, the information is very detailed and was a great resouce for getting around. I would definitely recommend. Pros: Good suggestions, especially for the younger traveler Prices well listed Travel options very specific Cons: Lacks maps for some of the smaller towns Lists only a few guesthouses and restaurants for each city Good luck with your trip!
