"As a collection of stories from many different travelers who have walked, biked, climbed, swam, meditated, cooked, slept and been lost in Thailand, you are offered a lot of different points of view about the place and the people. The stories are, of course, all over the board in terms of both quality and content. As always, I loved Pico Iyer's investigations and I really enjoyed the clips from Alan Rabinowitz's book about saving Thailand's wild cats. I appreciate learning about a country through the stories of travelers, rather than just their lists of accommodations, historical dates and sites to see. There are some romantic tales and some that provide a nice critical scrutiny on tourism and trade. There are great sidebar facts and pointers and embedded suggestions for meals and places to visit and things not to miss out on. Thanks Seattle Public Library for having a very well-loved copy on hand to share with me."
