Updated April 2019 If you're going to Phuket - purchase the "Thailand Islands and Beaches" Guide Bangkok Chiang Mai Krabi & Railay Koh Lanta Koh Phi Phi Koh Samui Koh Phangan Koh Tao Ditch the generic travel guides that are impersonal AF and feel like they were written for your nerdy cousin who wears socks with sandals.A true Thailand vacation should be equal amounts Thai culture, street food, and tan lines.
