The book is still pretty accurate. Also there is still nothing to compare it with for bikers.
The road kms, travel times & loop options are all still basically the same.
Some of the road descriptions maybe a little out of date.
A lot of the restaurants, guesthouses have changed, but for hard core road info (what bikers want) the book is still right & it works well when you are out on the road.
The current issue covers The Golden Triangle / Laos border area of North Thailand. It has no Mae Hong Son Loop or Laos info in it, but the planned update (2nd half of 2008) will have it "all."
