Travel Guide book for Asia with toddler/ young children?

We're planning to backpack a couple of month in Asia. Starting in Thailand and then going to Vietnam, maybe more places in the region. I'm looking for a travel guide, a Lonely Planet or Roughguide type of book especially on the topic of traveling with kids (ours is gonna be roughly 1 1/2 when we'll head off). I did find this one and this one. Both are very general and cover only four pages for the whole region Asia! Any advice is very much appreciated!

I don't think that such a publication exists (yet), unfortunately.

What I usually do is spend loads of time on-line before (and during) my travel with Kids on trip advisor, travel forums, google, etc. to figure out all the details myself. Often I would contact the hotel in advance to ask if they have appropriate facilities.

Also, especially when (a) arriving late (b) arriving in a big city (c) travelling in high season (d) travelling in Europe - I tend to book accommodation in advance. It is a pain, and strips the backpacking experience of this sense of freedom you get when travelling alone - but it is a substantially bigger pain to look for accommodation for hours with a small, hungry and tired child.
