[quote=GUEST01124,302218]I consider the Lonely Planet Guide Book and their Thorntree Forum a REAL travel trap !! No doubt I do get some useful informations from them but I they do have traps and quite unscrupulous too: a) Their guidebooks are around 30% more expensive than the Rough Guide withg less information and no colour photos in the past. Now this is already a RIP-OFF. Their recent issues have colur pictures added but information still much less or outdated compared to Rough Guide. Still much more expensive, so please boycott them !! b) And their Thorn Tree Forum, your messages have to please them or their bunch of moderators, or else they will just delete them or even ban you without reasons. Several occasions, I notice some good posters being driven away because of open messages. c) The budget hotels recommendations in the LP guide cannot be relied. Many times, I find much better guesthouses and budget hotels which are even cheaper but they are not mentioned. I asked 2 of the guesthouses owners, they told me they cannot afford to pay the Lonely Guide Book so they are left out.[/quote]
