Southeast Asia on a budget by Rough Guide

Southeast Asia on a Shoestring by Lonely Planet
- Price: £17.99 Add to Basket
- Aimed at the backpacker, this condensed volume for the whole of Southeast Asia is useful for practical advice and travel logistics. Certainly less cultural and historical information than the Rough Guide equivalent, and the remote areas could do with more detail.
-
Thailand by Eyewitness Guides
- Price: £17.99 Add to Basket
- The best of the photographic guides, this has vibrant, up-to-date photographs and graphic illustrations and works well as a companion on sightseeing trips. Like Insight Guides, it is aimed at a higher-end of the market, so is less useful for practical advice and travel logistics.
-

- Detailed, practical guide for travelling about the island, with a slightly more critical standpoint than the Lonely Planet guide that will help you to pick your destinations more carefully and avoid disappointment.

India by Rough Guide

- The most detailed and comprehensive guide to the state. Good practical, cultural and historical information.
-
Delhi, Agra & Jaipur by Eyewitness
- Price: £14.99 Add to Basket
- There is something to be said for having a beautifully illustrated guidebook with photographs and bird's eye graphics when sight-seeing around Northern India. This is a great guide for those at the higher end of the market who are looking for a strongly visual, culturally and historically informative guide.
-
Rajasthan, Delhi & Agra by Rough Guide

- The creme de la creme of guides, beautifully designed by local craftsmen, printed on hand made paper and placed inside a silk bag. Inside, hand-drawn illustrations sit beside the best recommendations from Bangalore locals.
