I was just at the book store and I took a peak at the new Fodors Guide. it has info about the tsunami damaged areas that will definitely do more harm than good for Thailand, unfortunately.

I sure hope that people are not discouraged about traveling to Thailand because of the damage.

I think it is up to those that have gone and are going to educate people that just a small portion of Thailand was heavily affected by the Tsunami and that even Phuket has beaches that are still gorgeous and worth visiting!

Cheers!

I got it from Amazon today. It was the least I could do to support the sponsor of this amazing website. The book also includes side trips to Cambodia and Laos - perfect for our upcoming trip to Siem Reap and Luang Prabang. It is not totally up-to-date on hotels but does recommend BED SUPPER CLUB both for dinner and for nightlife.

Craig,

I am sure I have probably read other posts from you but when are you going?

What is your loose itinerary at this point and how many days will you be traveling?

Thanks!

Craig

3 nights Luang Prabang
3 nights Bangkok

We will be going for 3 weeks in Feb. Maybe our paths will cross!

We are really considering visiting Luang Prabang on this trip but I have been discouraged by other posters to do so. Most people say I should just concentrate on Thailand and Siem Reap.

Cheers!

No. Just side trips to Cambodia and Laos.

To Eurotraveller. Thanks very much - my last issue (2001) will have to suffice. I have 2 other travel guides but they are not so easy to follow!!

I just received my copy from Amazon. Haven't had time to go through it yet, but was surprised that there were no photos.
