Editorial Reviews: Finding untrammeled destinations has become increasingly harder in the "global village," but Footprint Backpacker Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos takes the adventurous trekker to some of the lesser-traveled paths in the world. Filled with clear color maps, this authoritative guide offers candid reviews of the best places to stay, including a wide range of hostels and roadhouses. Backpackers can follow the entire length of the mighty Mekong River, stopping at historic temples, palaces, and pagodas along the way to sightsee or play. Here too is current information on where to buy the best silk and sample the finest cuisine in Indochina. Highlights include visits to monumental Angkor Wat and the moving Plain of Jars, a trip on the Bamboo Train, and much more.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: For budget travel on a schedule Comment: I am a big fan of Footprint guidebooks and have used them in many countries over the years. I bought this for an upcoming trip to Laos and Cambodia. It seems targeted to budget tourists who want to carry only one guidebook and hit the high points of each country. The hotels reviewed are "B" or lower and 3 countries plus Bangkok (which isn't mentioned in the title) are covered in under 400 pages. Another big difference between this and other Footprint guides is that it doesn't mark selected hotels "recommended" or "highly recommended" - one of the many reasons I buy them. If you are the target audience of this guidebook, grab it. Otherwise, buy books for the individual countries. More Reviews
