Rough Guides Thailand's Beaches and Islands: Travel Guide with eBook

Christopher Cottrell first came to teach in Thailand in 1997 and has extensively travelled the country, as well as China, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Latin America since then, contributing news articles to CNN, Fodor’s, The Guardian, The New York Times, and the South China Morning Post.

Thomas Bird has kept himself reasonably busy over two decades spent in East Asia, having edited a magazine in Shenzhen, worked as a newspaper reporter in Taiwan and co-authored over twenty guidebooks and coffee table books. His first book Harmony Express: Travels by Train Through China was published in 2023 by Earnshaw Books. He occasionally prints his musings in the South China Morning Post and other sympathetic publications. When he’s not travelling, or writing, he can be found in a smoky live lounge somewhere pondering the Zhuangzi.

Paul has recently settled down in Thailand after twenty years of toing and froing. He is the author of The Rough Guide to Thailand and co-author of The Rough Guide to Thailand’s Beaches and Islands, as well as The Rough Guide to Ireland. He has edited and contributed to many other guidebooks, including an update of his native Northeast for the Rough Guide to England.
