Best Travel book on Thailand !!
The most comprehensive travel guide book for Thailand. This book is written by a woman who lives in Thailand . This book has everything you could possible imagine to do a trip to Thailand as a solo woman traveler or for anyone looking to experience the “real” Thailand. The author Alexa West has included everything from do’s and dont’s to literally how to travel everywhere in Thailand you can possible imagine . Restaurants , experiences, places to stay, what apps to use for getting rides and even down to what travel insurance to purchase. I never thought Thailand was a place I could travel to as a solo woman traveler and now I know I can do it. This book is a perfect reference book for researching a trip to Thailand . Honestly I haven't been able to put it down since I got it. Her book “A girl in Bangkok” The Solo Girl’s Travel Guide” is another must have !! The author is funny, honest, and most importantly knowledgeable about the country. Her expertise of Thailand is so extensive. These books are truly a treasure ! Thank you Alexa West for writing such a wonderful travel guide !!
Great Find!
Love, love, love this book! Easy to read, relatable, laugh-out-loud funny, provides the information I want to know. Top things I especially like: - Not only does the author describe her top places to stay, but she describes what types of people would enjoy staying there. For example, she recommends hostels/hotels with pub crawls while also suggesting hostels with more relaxed atmospheres for the laid-back traveler. - The author provides lots and lots of options and helpful tips on how to get around to the different cities within Thailand. - The author provides helpful example itineraries of getting to her favorite highlights in the country if you only have one or two weeks. No regrets buying this book!!
Best Guide for Solo Women Traveling to Thailand!
This is the bible for solo women traveling in Thailand! Alexa does a great job giving you plenty of safe options for places to stay, must see places, places to eat, etc. I highly recommend this book if you plan on traveling solo to Thailand. It allows you to discover the cities before arriving so you will feel like a local when you do. You are bound to be a pro at solo travel through Thailand with this book. Enjoy ladies! Also check out her Solo Girls guide to Bangkok! She does not disappoint! Thank you for providing us Solo Women with a great guide! It is better than Lonely Planet!
Took my first solo trip - this book was a life saver!
I downloaded this book about a week before traveling a month through Thailand on my own. It helped me tremendously -- the book gave incredible insight and awesome recommendations! I ended up staying at several of the places listed in the book, ate at several of the restaurants and did activities suggested as well....I have to say, I am soooo grateful I did. Everything was spot on and amazing! I even took along a group of people from my hostel to one of the beaches -- everyone was super impressed and thankful for finding a spot they wouldn't have known about. I strongly suggest reading this if you want to make the most out of your trip to Thailand. Even though I did my own thing, this book also includes some great itinerary examples that could come in useful when planning an upcoming trip.
Very easy to get ahold of and great advice
Reading this book totally changed what my boyfriend and i wouldve done in thailand. You know how you have that one friend who wont give you the juicy scoop, shes way too positive about everything? “Do i look good in this?” “Sure, you look gorge!!” Turns out, you def couldve used some spanks. This girl is your REAL friend who goes with you to target last second after shes honest and tells you youll be a 10/10 if you add spanks. Shes been to thailand so many times, she knows whats a waste of your time, and whats overrated based on the cost etc. Shes very open and nonjudgemental and gives you ideas for fun for every life style. I messaged her on IG, and she even told me a great place complete with exact address to go for my boyfriend to get customs suits made in bangkok.
Exactly what I was looking for in a guide
As a solo female traveler planning my first international trip, this guide is exactly what I was looking for. EXACTLY! The author covers every base.....transportation, a language cheat sheet, scams to avoid, places to go and the places to skip because they are an overrated waste of money. There’s even a contact list in the back for everything from the Thai Embassy to gynecologists to a smart phone repair shop. Best part is the author is easily accessible and lists her Instagram contact info in the book in case you have questions. And she responds.
Recommended -even for guys
I’m a guy, but I bought this book due to its many excellent reviews. I’m so glad I did! The author did a really, really great job of covering Thailand and fun and informative ways. I have been to Thailand before so I knew a bit of what to expect but she did an excellent job, weaving in websites of wonderful places along with her own very useful personal insights. Great job, lady!
Very helpful for a first time Thailand traveler
If you’re going to Thailand, buy this book! I bought my plane tickets in May and bought this book in June. It really helped me start to plan and decide what exactly I wanted to get out of the trip. It helped me decide on what island to go to and also was very helpful in terms of knowing what sort of options you have. She gives advice for all levels of budget and includes suggestions for them. I did an excursion that she mentioned in the book and it was one of my top 3 experiences of my whole two week trip. I also took it with me and a girl I was at a hostel with used it because she wasn’t quite sure where to go next. If I ever find myself in Bali, I will be buying Alexa’s Bali guide as well.
Alexa is changing how women are traveling the world
Alexa is literally changing the way that women are allowed to travel. Sure, she writes a great travel book (taking into account things like how soft the beds are, if there's a rain shower, when it's worth splurging v. not) but it's Alexa as a person, infused into her writing and everything she does, that is really changing the game. At every turn in the book and on her website she offers pep talks, wit, humor, and accessibility to her through social media. She talks to you like one of her girlfriends or sisters, always giving the honest truth. She also writes the first travel guide I've ever read that knows what women ACTUALLY care about - how to keep your drinks safe, where to make new friends while traveling, and where to get condoms and birth control. What stuck with me the most was a line in this book - "women have been taught to be polite above all else. Don't listen to that. If your gut tells you something is off, throw politeness to the wind." Alexa is opening the world to women.
Never would have been as amazing without this book
I am 57 and decided to start traveling alone, other wise I would never go. I bought Alexa's book and was so impressed and I got so excited knowing I could do this alone! But there was still a bit of fear so I contacted her and asked her to help me plan my trip. She sent me a questionnaire, asked great questions to pinpoint places to suggest that I would love. She pretty much NAILED it! I LOVED my trip! I went as far as taking her suggestion to travel with a 40L backpack! It was THE best thing I did! Travel light! I didn't have to schlep a rolling bag along dirt roads and beaches hopping a long tail boat to my next destination. Thailand is amazing, a great first solo trip for sure! Her book will give you the best tips, where to eat, stay, what to do and what NOT to do. There is no boring history or other facts, just pure good information. Can't wait for her Italy book to come out, I think that's next for me. I will definitely be contacting her again for that one. Buy this book, you won't regret it.
