Frommer's Southeast Asia (Frommer's Complete) Review
This guide is one of the best guide books. It has everything you need to know before going to Asia. From currency, weather, attractions, shopping, beaches, bargain accomodations to the best local dining experience. I liked the various highlights that were given for each city in asia. This way if you are pressed for time while traveling, you can pick out the sites that were listed. Very helpful with the information provided for getting arounfd the city. It lists various modes of transportation, and the approximate costs. A must have if you are traveling to asia.

Customer Reviews
Took it with me. - Stephanie A. Pearson - edinburg, tx USA
A good representation of what's there. The maps were extremely accurate and the price gauge was great and very useful. I enjoy Fommer's books.
nice summary for major sites in Asia - NYC gal - NY United States
- Bali, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos.. Get the highlights of frommers books in one edition. As all Frommers, great recommendations on itineraries (Best of lists) and opinionated. Not for backpackers who want to know more details (lonely planet is best for that) but great for those who want a range of options and strong guidance.
Not very useful for Malaysia - Graham Stratford - Kingston, Ontario Canada
I find it odd that this book had only 80 pages on Malaysia, compared to about 140 for Vietnam. Furthermore, what information it contains on Malaysia was sparse. Most of the accommodation mentioned was high-end. There wasn't even a map of Kuala Lumpur in it!
(I confess that I only spent a couple of ours with this book. After skimming through it, I took it back, and exchanged it for another that concentrates on Singapore and Malaysia. There is a Frommer's, but it was out of stock, so I picked up the Rough Guide, which is delightful so far.)
