This amazingly detailed guide, assembled by an intrepid and tireless team of writers, takes you through the best of 10 countries with all the practical information, late-breaking bargains, cultural insights, and user-friendly maps that have long been hallmarks of our series.
In Singapore and Malaysia, we'll show you monks, mosques, and a multicultural nightlife, even stopping in Borneo for spectacular wildlife viewing in its jungle preserves. In Thailand, we'll pull back the curtain on Bangkok's notorious (and fascinating) underbelly; visit Phuket's decadent beach resorts; and explore the north's traditional tribal areas. In Brunei, we'll follow the trail of the Sultan, one of the world's richest men. In Bali, we'll check out the island's world-class resorts and introduce you to the stellar arts scene from shadow puppet performances to the famed "monkey dance."
In Vietnam, we'll explore the thriving expat nightlife in Ho Chi Minh City (once Saigon), and journey by boat into the Mekong Delta, past rice paddies and riverside pagodas. In rugged Laos, we'll travel to the ancient capital of Luang Prabang, as well as the sacred limestone caves of Pak Ou, studded with thousands of ancient Buddha statues. We'll recommend the best Philippine beaches, dive sites, and rainforest treks. Finally, in Hong Kong, we'll tell you where to find the best shopping streets, dim sum palaces, and the world's largest seated Buddha.
It's all here in one handy volume that comes complete with etiquette tips, advice for business travelers, practical advice on planning your trip and getting around, and language glossaries. Don't leave home without it!

nice summary for major sites in Asia.......2006-07-03
Not very useful for Malaysia.......2004-02-11
(I confess that I only spent a couple of ours with this book. After skimming through it, I took it back, and exchanged it for another that concentrates on Singapore and Malaysia. There is a Frommer's, but it was out of stock, so I picked up the Rough Guide, which is delightful so far.)

In the many national parks that protect this spectacular jungle, you'll meet tiny deer, tinier owls, monkeys, and the increasingly rare orangutan.

Mostly Useless.......2007-07-14
Mayalsia? Look Elsewhere!.......2006-01-13
Disappointed in Scanty Info on Malaysia.......2004-04-05
However, this book lacks some basic information on Malaysia that I expect in a travel guide in order to plan a trip, for example, more fleshed out information on safety, health, exercise (and more) that is usually found in Frommer's guides and is found in the section on Singapore.
The *ONE* map of Kuala Lumpur is inadequate to even find the things mentioned in the accompanying text.
And when trying to figure out what to do with a few extra days from Kuala Lumpur, there is no information on how to get to the sites suggested, nor how long it takes! No web sites or email addresses listed for the outfitters mentioned - perhaps they don't exist, but I doubt it.
There were other inadequacies I noted in the section on Malaysia as well, but these suffice as examples of why I find this book of poor quality compared to most Frommer's books.
For the first time ever, I have to say I am very disappointed in a Frommer's guide.
Worth every dollar!.......2000-08-15
This book has too much info on Singapore and none on Borneo.......1999-07-08

Customer Reviews:
A handy all-around guide.......2000-05-10
As with any guidebook, be aware that some of the information may be incorrect or outdated. Took the book with me to Vietnam and found that some of the locations mentioned were closed (even though the book was published this year) and addresses incorrect. Also, a reference guide for health problems (including symptoms & possible illnesses) would have been helpful, in case you get sick. The Lonely Planet does a much better job in this category.
Would still recommend this book, particularly if you plan to travel to more than one country in SE Asia, and want to explore the best of the region.
