- Diving in Thailand
- by Collin Piprell and Ashley J. Boyd, Paperback, 216 pages (2004)
Buy from Amazon.co.uk
Two good guidebooks for people travelling in Thailand are the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet. We'd choose the islands and beaches edition: lighter to carry and includes Bangkok. The Rough Guide has more information than the Lonely Planet.

- Travel Atlas: Thailand
- New Holland Publishers, Paperback, 72 pages, (2001)
A collection of maps plus some general information about Thailand's system of highways, buses, trains and boats. Light to carry, but if you already have one of the Lonely Planet guides, rather superfluous.
