The Rough Guide to Thailand's Beaches and Islands

The Rough Guide to Thailand's Beaches and Islands is the ultimate guide to these glorious destinations. From the enchanting and little-known islands of Ban Krud and Suan Luang to the hip new beach resort of Pak Nam Pran. A full-colour 24-page section introduces the highlights, with stunning photography of the best the islands have to offer. The authors provide expert recommendations on where to go, from party beaches and luxury resorts to remote national park islands and bases for diving, snorkelling and kayaking. The guide also includes full coverage of Bangkok, the main point of arrival, a sophisticated metropolis and gateway to the coasts. There are detailed maps for every region and informed advice on activities - from Thai cookery to Thai boxing and from scuba-diving to white-water rafting.
