Often, instead of taking a complete travel guide in my luggage, I cut up the book to keep only the chapters that interest me. Saves space and weight!<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I found a digital alternative to this massacre: download the chapters. It's called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.fr\/page\/nos-guides-numeriques\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pick &amp; Mix Chapters<\/a> and it&#039;s happening on Lonely Planet&#039;s English site.<\/p>\n<h2>Pick &amp; Mix Chapters<\/h2>\n<p>It works in two clicks, we only pay a few euros for the pages and we save them as a PDF file on his computer. We can then print them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.fr\/page\/nos-guides-numeriques\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment wp-att-682\" title=\"\u00a9 Lonely Planet\" src=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/lp-pdf-web2.jpg\" alt=\"Lonely Planet\" width=\"474\" height=\"684\" align=\"none\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, you have to be an English speaker, since it exists only in English for the moment. But for me, who is just interested in the South-West of Thailand, for my next trip to the Andaman Sea, it is ideal. As I don't want to buy another guidebook on Thailand, I jumped on this new service!<\/p>\n<p>They are smart, at Lonely Planet ...<\/p>\n<h2>dematerialisation<\/h2>\n<p>I don't have any stock in them, but for my favorite destinations in Southeast Asia, I have always found the Lonely Planet editions better done, more complete and less faulty than the famous Routard. The latter, for example, no longer had a chapter on Sulawesi in its guide <em>Indonesia<\/em> when I was preparing my trip in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that Lonely Planet guides (LP) are often very big, very bulky. For Malaysia, in 2006, I had in my bag a piece of Routard just for the east coast of the peninsula, and pieces of the LP corresponding to the east of the peninsula and Borneo. For Sulawesi, in 2007, I just took the corresponding small section in the voluminous LP <em>Indonesia<\/em>.
