My Take

As preparation for an upcoming trip to Thailand with my sixteen year old daughter, A Geek in Thailand was very useful.  After reading this travel guide, I feel that I have a much better understanding of the history, people, culture, food, sights and other aspects of Thailand.  Can’t wait to see it in person!
