    What the guidebooks don’t tell you

    Try the food! – the team at Not In The Guidebooks have travelled far and wide to tons of different countries, but we’ve never come across food quite like it is here. Our number one tip would be to avoid the main restaurants and seek out local street vendors (trust a queue of local people)

    Take the train – taking the train is not only one of the best ways to get around, but it’s also one of the most scenic. It’s a great way to see different parts of the country on your holiday in Thailand if you’re strapped for time.

    Carry cash – although a lot of hotels and restaurants accept card payments and there are ATM’s widely available, if you head off the beaten track, a lot of places deal in cash. So make sure you have enough with you whilst you’re out and about.
