Moon Thailand (Moon Handbooks) Review
My friend and I used this book as our sole source of information for our 1 month trip to Thailand. It was priceless! Great insights into places to see, stay and eat from Bangkok, Chang Mai, to the beaches and really off the beaten path towns and villages. The food the author suggested was always delicious (and sometimes spicey!!) The train conductor even used our book to show some British travelers where to go in northern Thailand.
Moon Thailand (Moon Handbooks) Overview

Travel to Thailand - K. Ronnow - Florida Panhandle
Like some of the other books in the Moon series, this one is very thorough and helpful. I checked other series, and this one is up to date, and has a good spectrum of views, from back-packing to high-end vacations. Like the Belize
book from Moon, this was very useful for the trip I made to Thailand this year.
some interesting ideas, but not the best - Jodi R. Thompson - NJ
This book has some interesting and different ideas from Lonely Planet and Rough Guide and does not seem geared specifically to the backpacker group. That being said, at times it seems more like a travelogue rather than a guidebook and therefore the coverage on some locations is very sparse.

One of the all time BEST guides on Thailand is the superbly researched and presented "Thailand Handbook" by Carl Parkes (which won the Lowell Thomas Gold Award). I highly recommend it, for all sorts of Thai travel, history, food, culture, and people details. It won't have the latest lodging prices, but as a fantastic read and directive to accompany any trip, any year, any decade, to Thailand, I strongly recommend it!
Excellent Guide book - J. Canavan - Philadelphia, PA USA
I felt this guide book was extremely informative and helpful during my trip through Thailand. My wife and I travel a fair amount for pleasure each year and this is the best book either of us have ever used. The recomendations for lodging and meals were excellent. The outstanding cuisine in Thailand is one of the reasons for our trip and this book was invaluable in helping us search out the best restaurants.
