I purchased this Phuket travel guide as it is my first trip to Thailand and did not know a great deal about the place. I was initially surprised at the pocket size book.I thought it would be the same size as other Lonely Planet books. However as you well know never judge a book by its cover. I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail. Every question that I have had about Thailand so far has been found in this book. There are itneries for short stays. Great recommendations for accomodation to suit all travelers from back packers to luxury and everything inbetween.I like the fact that the honest long term tour guides are recommended and a little history is given on how they came about. Great restaurant recommendations for first timers.All in all a concise book that will be in my bag for travels in Thailand.I have tried to get other travel books for Thailand from my local library but everyone must have the same idea. Well worth the money and recommended read.Read full review
After using Lonely Planet books for many international holidays in the past, I was a little disappointed about this book. Consisted almost entirely of advertising for tourist businesses, and only very short summary blurbs about the areas of Phuket (which were good - just short and lacking detail). If this book is trying to present itself as a neutral information source, at the very least should contain balanced reviews positive and negative from others who have visited the referenced businesses. I initially read it at home. I took the book with me, but didn't look at it once.

this booklet is very handy for a person who wishes to travel specifically to Phuket. It has covered all towns in Phuket showing all attractions and activities. This book is fantastic and is a quick access guide to whatever you need to know about phuket. I would definately recommend it to anyone who is wishing to travel there.
