I am 57 and decided to start traveling alone, other wise I would never go. I bought Alexa's book and was so impressed and I got so excited knowing I could do this alone! But there was still a bit of fear so I contacted her and asked her to help me plan my trip. She sent me a questionnaire, asked great questions to pinpoint places to suggest that I would love. She pretty much NAILED it! I LOVED my trip! I went as far as taking her suggestion to travel with a 40L backpack! It was THE best thing I did! Travel light! I didn't have to schlep a rolling bag along dirt roads and beaches hopping a long tail boat to my next destination. Thailand is amazing, a great first solo trip for sure! Her book will give you the best tips, where to eat, stay, what to do and what NOT to do. There is no boring history or other facts, just pure good information. Can't wait for her Italy book to come out, I think that's next for me. I will definitely be contacting her again for that one. Buy this book, you won't regret it.

If you’re going to Thailand, buy this book! I bought my plane tickets in May and bought this book in June. It really helped me start to plan and decide what exactly I wanted to get out of the trip. It helped me decide on what island to go to and also was very helpful in terms of knowing what sort of options you have. She gives advice for all levels of budget and includes suggestions for them. I did an excursion that she mentioned in the book and it was one of my top 3 experiences of my whole two week trip. I also took it with me and a girl I was at a hostel with used it because she wasn’t quite sure where to go next. If I ever find myself in Bali, I will be buying Alexa’s Bali guide as well.

Love, love, love this book! Easy to read, relatable, laugh-out-loud funny, provides the information I want to know. Top things I especially like:
- Not only does the author describe her top places to stay, but she describes what types of people would enjoy staying there. For example, she recommends hostels/hotels with pub crawls while also suggesting hostels with more relaxed atmospheres for the laid-back traveler.
- The author provides lots and lots of options and helpful tips on how to get around to the different cities within Thailand.
- The author provides helpful example itineraries of getting to her favorite highlights in the country if you only have one or two weeks.
No regrets buying this book!!
