I was a little annoyed at the errors I found (mostly missing vocab words), and the fact that the newspaper articles didn't have English translations at all. But this is basically the level I need, and it does an okay job for what it is. I just wish I was disciplined enough to actually memorize all the vocab ;-)
The best I've found at this level, with texts designed to teach you vocabulary along with Thai culture, but as I progressed I discovered the translations weren't very accurate and often incomplete. Still until something worthier and better edited comes along this is helpful in progressing in the Thai language.
I am currently in the stage where intermediate-level literature is too simple and is no longer beneficial, but tackling heavy texts is difficult without constant dictionary look-ups. This book is right in the middle. It presents advanced articles/texts, along with a substantial vocab section after each, and includes the English version of the text as well. It tackles complex subjects such as religion, history, science, etc, so the reader does not get bored. Well worth the 200 baht I spent :)
