This is the fist I have herd of these travel guides, sounds like i should be picking up the ones for Bangkok and Hong Kong! Not that I’d be able to afford most of the things listed in their guide books but it is nice to know that they are there.
Concise and hip, the Luxe guide books are updated twice a year and are very affordable (about $9US). Each is packed with information on the best things you can find in each city plus ‘secret’ things that only the contributions (the live in the cities they write about) know about.
The guide books cover most major cities in the Pacific rim area:
Bali
Bangkok
Beijing
Hanoi
Ho Chi Minh City
Hong Kong
Shanghai
Singapore
Sri Lanka
Melbourne
Sydney
Tokyo
So if your going to be visiting any of these places you might want to pick up a Luxe book and see what you might be missing.
