- What are eGuides?
- Our eGuides are small, informative collections of the latest travel information from AsiaForVisitors.com and ThailandForVisitors.com. These guides are delivered in 'PDF' format, so they can be read - and printed - on any computer as well as hand-held devices. The guides focus on specific topics, such as popular sights in a destination or walking tours, and include detailed information about how to get around and when to go. The guides are easier to take with you, and cheaper as well as more up to date than a traditional guide book.
- Are the eGuides the same as the site content?
- Most of the content is the same as you'll find on the web site. However, you would have to print out dozens of pages from the site to get the information, resulting in a much bigger document than the eGuides, which are optimized for printing. The eGuides also include "margin notes" relating bits of trivia, historical background and other information not found in the site at all.
- Why should I pay for an eGuide when the site is free?
- There are several reasons:
- The eGuides include content not found on the site.
- The eGuides can be printed and taken with you a lot easier than printing out pages of the site.
- You'd look really silly walking through the Grand Palace with your laptop turned on, and there's no wi-fi access there anyway.
- How do I purchase the eGuides?
- We use PayPal to process payments. This means that you don't have to give any confidential information, such as credit card details, to us. If you already have a PayPal account, then payment can be accomplished with just a few clicks. If you don't already have a PayPal account, you may still be able to arrange payment with a minimum of bother using your credit card. The amount of fuss involved depends on the country where your credit card account resides.
- Why do I have to create an account?
- When you purchase any of our guides, we allow you to download it at any time for up to 90 days. So, we need a quick and easy way to verify that you have already made a purchase and have the right to download a file. Creating an account using your email address and a password is the quickest, simplest way to do this. We won't share your email with anyone else, and the only email you'll get from us is in regards to your order, or new products.
- I've bought an eGuide, how do I get it?
- After completing payment procedures at PayPal, you'll be sent back to this site. If the payment is successfully completed - you used a credit card that didn't require verification or you already have a PayPal account - then you'll be given immediate access to the files you've purchased. If your payment required additional processing, then we'll send you an email when the processing is completed.
At any time for up to 90 days after your purchase, you can return to this site, login, and then download your eGuides. When you click on the "download" link for any eGuide, you should then be prompted about where to save the guide on your computer. Simply answer the prompt and your file will be downloaded. On most computers, you should be able to click on the file to open it once it is downloaded. Note that you will require the free Acrobat Reader to open the file. - Can I print my eGuide?
