What is the best travel guide for Thailand?

Question by : What is the best travel guide for Thailand?
I’m English, and going to Thailand with a friend in June. We’re female, and 20 years old – both students, so as you can imagine we’re trying to do this on a budget! I can’t decide on which travel guide is right.

Younger travelers often use the Lonely Planet Travel Guide. That TG gives you some hotel and hostel recommendations that are not too expensive. Of course they also have a few selections on more expensive places. LP give s you a pretty good description of various tourist places and destinations. They also tell you where you can eat for cheap too!

You can also ask questions on the following travel forums. When you need advice on hotels always mention how much you want to pay per night to narrow down the suggestions you get. Also, if you ask advice on cheapest airlines or flight related questions it sometimes helps if you mention where you are flying from and when you are flying.

Below is a list of a few travel forums you might want to look at.
