Praise for our 2012 edition:
“Thank you for a great ‘guidebook’….it has lots of practical info…it was like having a friend telling me all the good ‘stuff’..”
Jacci
“Very informative and topical. Well-written by people who clearly love Koh Samui and respect its people, while recognising that tastes differ.”
Clive (UK)
“We found it invaluable. Admittedly it was a bit hard to leave the luxury of our room/resort to explore, but we enjoyed tooling about”
Rick
“I am planning my honeymoon at Samui in August and I believe our trip will be surely benefited by this book.”
George (U.S.)
“VERY readable and clearly written by people who have spent a lot of time there.”
David
“The guide is proving an interesting and informative read. The only thing missing was where the good bird viewing spots were (LOL). A bit specialised I know. Now if only we can get our heads around a few Thai phrases we’ll be right.”
Rafael (Australia)
“Obviously written by two people who know the area extremely well. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to visit the area.”
Wendy (UK)
“We were so pleased to have read this guide before we left for our holiday. It’s full of useful information and we referred to it often during our visit to the island.”
bke004 (Amazon UK)
