I have found whilst reading most of the travel guides that they usually provide very good information about the locations they cover, but I feel they fail to give a useful impression of the country that the traveller intends to visit.

I have therefore begun to write a series of guides to places I have stayed concentrating on what its like to be in the country, What you will find there and what the people are like. Throughout I will try to give not just useful information but also a flavour and feel for the country and its people.

The guides also have useful tips for the visitor based on my experience and foriegners who live there. The information is invaluable for the first time visitor and the series will provide a good idea of the country and its people and customs.

The series will be published in rough draft on my website http://www.homesgallery.co.uk in the Travel Channel. I hope you will visit and that you find the information useful. If you have any comments or feedback please place them below.

LITERARY AGENTS - The draft for Thailand A Personal Guide can be found on the above website. The guide will cover Bangkok, Pattaya and the Islands of Ko Samui and Phuket and will continue with Chang Mai and Chang Rai in Northern Thailand.
