About the Author
China Williams grew up in South Carolina in a pretty little town surrounded by pine forests and cotton fields. Fed up with country clubs and frosted hair, China plotted her escape to a quirky liberal arts college in Annapolis, Maryland. After graduation, she packed up her book-learning and landed an editorial job in Washington, D.C., during that city?s crack-smoking mayor?s encore performance. Because of the name, bestowed by now-recovered hippie parents, China was destined to meet and adore Asia. The fated rendezvous occurred with a teaching position in the rural region of Thailand, where she developed a serious rice addiction and more freckles than skin. After her stateside return, she bored co-workers and friends with numerous ?in Thailand? stories. China now lives in San Francisco, the only city wacky enough to think that she is mainstream, with her husband, Matt. She has worked previously as an editor at Lonely Planet?s Oakland office and has written numerous Lonely Planet guidebooks to Thailand, Southeast Asia, San Francisco, and New York State. Her work has also appeared in regional magazines and newspapers as well as Chronicle Books forthcoming titles City Walks: Washington, D.C. and City Walks: Boston.Top Travel Tip: Remember to drink lots of water in hot climates, especially when your mood turns sour (a sign of approaching dehydration).

Flashy but Lacking...,
This review is from: Lonely Planet Discover Thailand 1st Ed.: 1st Edition (Paperback)
The book had great pictures and maps. I liked the rundowns of each region, and it made pre travel research great. However, it copied word for word information from the original LP Thailand guide, but did not include the contact information of the different restaurants and places to stay.The book was great for getting a basic overview of attractions and areas you would like to see, but for more in depth information go with the original LP Thailand. Safe Travels!

Different,
This review is from: Lonely Planet Discover Thailand 1st Ed.: 1st Edition (Paperback)
It's a different kind of a guide book from what Lonely Planet is noted for. Fine in it's own right,'genre', but in my case not quite what I wanted. ... Not a backpackers budget travel book. Heavy to pack around because of the glossy heavy weight paper, and too many pic's and not enough info. If you are curious, and thinking of buying, I would recommend trying to locate a copy and see for yourself.

Lovely guidebook, not too big and with lots of images! Seems really useful, although I will test it in Thailand in the next few months.
