 Women: find a different resource October 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is geared toward men. Aside from the tiny, basic "if you're a woman be cautious" warning, the writer consistently assumes the reader is a guy. It's annoying, and renders the book to be of limited value for over half the population.

I can't tell you what I think... I ordered this book on July 18th 2006,every few weeks you would send me a notice that I would have to agree to wait or it would be cancelled. After 3 MONTHS you sent me a notice that it was not in stock, nor would you be re-ordering it. Excuse me if I don't gush with praise.
Aside from that I find your services quite helpful, thanks.
Very informative August 6, 2006

Summer 2006 preparing for a trip to Thailand, we purchased several guidebooks and DVD's. Culture Shock Thailand was very informative and helpful. It included valueable information we did not find elsewhere. This book is mainly geared toward the business person planning an extended stay or relocation to Thailand. It was not designed for the traveler spending two weeks as a tourist. Overall a very good book.
 Just what I need March 21, 2006

Wow, found it. Just off to spend some months in and around Thailand -- and no doubt put yet another book on Thailand on the shelves -- when I get this recommended to me. Great stuff. Very informative, very funny, I mean in places really funny, and a bargain to boot. Slap up to date. Can't wait to enter the kingdom.
Culture comes allive and is fun February 11, 2006

This book helped my whole family. We read it before arrival but are still using it for reference. It gave us useful leads to international schools, places of worship and hospitals when out of Bangkok. A mixture of the very practical: opening bank accounts, finding your way, doing business, and so on, and a comprehensive guide to Thai culture, with convenient sectionalisation, excellent explanations and situationist in that it places the non-Thai reader into the Thai world and helps him or her stay afloat. Excellent value. Up to date. Hard to think of anything it misses. Very lively. Well written. And makes learning culture fun. Can't ask for more than that.
