Some great tips
Used this book to travel through Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore and Thailand. Brilliant sightseeing tips, great travel advice (Including example pricing and travel maps). Can’t wait to travel again and use this.
So very useful
As always lots of useful information. Sadly trip delayed given my advancing age and virus!
Fantastic guide.
Really useful and helpful guide. Even though loads of countries are packed into it, there is still loads of information about all of them. I used it a lot on my travels and would recommend.
