3.0 out of 5 stars Not complete, Dec 10 2003

This review is from: Lonely Planet Thai Phrasebook (Paperback)
I bought this book for my trip to Thailand next winter, so I have not put it into practice yet.

However, Thai is a tonal language, and this book does not indicate what tones one is to use when pronouncing a word.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother buying this one, April 28 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Thai Phrasebook (Paperback)
After traveling using a Berlitz phrasebook in Italy, I went to Thailand, and bought the only one available -- Lonely Planet. It is terrible.

The tone markers don't make much sense. They are not intuitive.

The Food section has something advertised as a "menu decoder" when it is really just the same section all over again. Compared to Berlitz's food section for Italy, the LP guide is rather lacking.

The Dictionary section is very lacking. It doesn't even have all the words listed elsewhere. The index is the same way. It makes finding information in the phrasebook next to impossible.

Unfortunately, this phrasebook has just been whipped out as a companion to LP's monopoly on guide books. Try to find something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars don't go to Thailand without it, July 9 2003

This review is from: Lonely Planet Thai Phrasebook (Paperback)
My husband and I found this small book to be a huge help as we attempted communication in the marketplaces of Thailand. I prefer to use books like this as a reference, pointing to the Thai phrase next to the English phrase I want to communicate. Conversely, my husband actually studied the book from the beginning. He was able to learn to pronounce and understand many useful phrases in addition to numbers (which came in very handy while bargaining). We enjoyed this book so much that I am already ordering the Mandarin version for our trip to China in 2005.
