Travel To Thailand

If you are perhaps wondering where to travel to on your next big vacation and are just fresh out of ideas then we have a suggestion for you. After traveling through Thailand with a friend several years ago, I just fell in love with the place. Prior to that most of my trips had been to the States, Caribbean and Europe and I thought that after listening to my friend talk about Thailand and seeing his videos and pictured that maybe I should check it out for myself. He was planning a trip there and asked if I wanted to tag along with him and his wife and best friend. I thought this would be a good opportunity to go somewhere different and go with someone who had travelled there many times before so would be a great way to know where to go, where to avoid, etc etc. So we went and I just couldn’t get enough of the wonderful country. There really is a suitable type of holiday for absolutely everyone, singles, couples, families, newly-weds, gay and lesbian couples you name it Thailand caters for all needs and they have one of the best tourist infrastructures in the world as far as giving the customer what they want and looking out for their wellbeing. How many other countries in the world do you know that has an army of “tourist police” in all the major towns and cities to take care of tourists and visitors? I truly believe that you haven’t experienced REAL customer service anywhere unless you have experienced the customer service in hotels, restaurants etc in Thailand.

People there are genuinely pleased to help and it seems to have been passed down through the generations as it is now as if  second nature to the Thai people.  Great customer service aside what else does Thailand have to offer? I’ll tell you. It has tropical beaches on sun-kissed tropical islands where you can eat and drink and stay as cheaply or as elaborately as you wish from straw huts on the beach to multi million dollar villas available for rent, and where you decide the pace of your holiday. It also has vibrant, pulsating cities where you can shop (again as cheaply or as exorbitantly as you like)dance, eat, and visit beautiful landmarks and structures some of which are thousands of years old and stay in hotels that have set the mark for top hotel standards the world over, the original and best. Thailand has every conceivable type of landscape from tropical beaches to desert, flat plains and some of the most unspoiled rainforests in the world where you can glide through the canopies with the gibbons and feel at one with nature. Another great thing about traveling in Thailand is how easy it is to visit several of the above mentioned areas within a single trip. As no-where is more than a little over an hours (very cheap) flight away it is possible to take several trips in one vacation so you can do the city, do some extreme sports, visit rainforests and then hit a tropical beach all in a few weeks, hows that for breaking up the monotony and telling your friends what you did on your trip? As I mentioned before it really is up to you how much you want to spend on accommodation you can stay in a hut on a beach which is some peoples idea of heaven I know for as little as $10 or $15 US or stay in a perfectly good hotel for just a couple of bucks more. If you are getting married or just want to stay somewhere private, luxurious and away from the crowds then maybe renting a private villa could be for you. Prices for these villas are again quite flexible and you can get one for not much more than the price of a hotel room and even thousands of dollars a night if you want some kind of estate, but all are possible (think Miami but way way less in price).  All in all there is a reason that Thailand is such a top tourist destination. A combination of favorable prices, awesone service multitudes of activities spectacular scenery and much much more has secured Thailand as a top destination for a good time to come yet. They call Thailand the ‘land of smiles’ and you really should get over there and find out why for yourselves and you will see what I mean.

Phuket is the Treasure of Thailand

The largest island in Thailand, Phuket is an enchanting destination, located about 850 km south of the nation’s capital, Bangkok, in the Andaman Sea. Phuket holds the distinction of being the only island in Phuket with provincial status.


Sometimes acknowledged as the ‘Pearl of the South,’ Phuket boasts of a long rich as well as colorful history dating back to more than 500 years ago. An eventful segment in the history of Phuket is the Battle of Thalang, in which the Burmese invaders were defeated by forces under the administration of two women.


Phuket is now categorized into three administrative regions: Amphoe Muang, Amphoe Kathu, and Amphoe Thalang. Al though Phuket has now become a thriving tourist center, it still preserves its old world charm, and come with an incredible array of attractions comprising imposing gorgeous coves and bays, long stretch of palm-fringed beaches, tiny estuaries, beautiful lagoons, lush green mountains, scintillating waterfalls, and age-old mansions reflecting Indo-Portuguese architecture.


Much of the Phuket’s glory lies in its beautiful white sandy beaches. Majority of the top beaches in the areas such as Kamala Beach – an excellent area for relaxation, Patong Beach – most vibrant among the beaches in the area, and Karon Beach, located south of Patong Beach, are situated in the western coastline.


Popular beaches in the area also include Kalim Beach, an isolated beach dotted with coral reefs and rocks; Kata Beach consisting of Kata Noi and Kata Yai beaches; Nai Han Beach, which is much favored for its white powdery sand and azure blue waters; Rawai Beach, a pristine beach whose surroundings are home to Chao Le people; and Mai Khao Beach, also known as the Airport Beach. Each of the beaches in the area is enchanting, and is a haven to enjoy a continuum of water sport activities such as fishing, kayaking, diving, snorkeling, rafting, sailing, scuba diving, and more.


However, the activities that can be enjoyed in Phuket are not restricted to water sport activities. For instance, if you are a golf freak, excellent choices are available for you in the form of Dino Park, an 18-hole mini-golf course located on Karon Beach; golf course in Hat Surin built during the reign of King Rama VII; and Log Palm Golf Club near Amphoe Krathu. Besides, superb options are available to enjoy activities such as mountain biking, trekking, bungy jumping, nature walks, and hiking.


When comes to sightseeing, options are truly diverse and endless. For example, a tour to historical sites including Old China Town, packed with stunning Sino-Portuguese mansions, would be a refreshing experience. Likewise, to have a peep into the history of the region, a best way would be visit the interesting museums in the region such as Thalang National Museum and Phuket Sea Shell Museum.


Phuket also provides a feast of attractions to wild life and nature lovers, such as, Khao Phra Thaeo National Park boasting of unique flora and fauna; Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, with thousands of varied species of butterflies; Promthep Cape, from where one can savor the incredible views of the sunset; and Marine Biological Research Centre, an aquarium with a variety of rare fish species.


A visit to Phuket would be incomplete without taking a tour to its ancient shrines including Wat Chalong – one of the biggest shrines in the region; Wat Phranangsang, devoted to two heroines who defeated the Burmese invaders in the Battle of Thalang; and Wat Phra Thong, whose centerpiece is a large half buried image of the Lord Buddha.


Nightlife in Phuket is really sedative, with hundreds of girlie bars, nightclubs, pubs, disco clubs, and go-go bars. Similarly, dining options available in Phuket is endless, consisting of an array of restaurants serving everything from excellent Thai dishes to sumptuous western style cuisines. Additionally, Phuket is a shopper’s paradise, with a plethora of markets, department stores, street stalls, and specialist shops, apart from a large night bazaar.

Many of them provide options to book hotel rooms and other facilities online.

Experience something special – getting married in Thailand

For some, the idea of planning a traditional western wedding can send shivers down their spine. From venue hire to spiralling costs and guest lists, it can sometimes overwhelm even the most organised and level-headed of people. To help combat the stresses and strains of such a momentous occasion, many couples are choosing to get married abroad, with Thailand being a particularly popular and exciting location to exchange your vows.

The advantages of having your wedding abroad could be quite surprising to some. Firstly, the cost of the whole event is usually a lot less than a traditional wedding at home. The average cost of a UK wedding broke the £20,000 mark in 2008, but the average wedding in Thailand is only a small fraction of this, with many hotels and resorts offering free wedding packages if you agree to stay for a certain number of nights. Obviously prices vary depending on where you stay and how many friends and family you pay for, but the whole wedding and honeymoon package could be as low as a few thousand pounds.

One of the deciding factors for many is the weather abroad, which is usually a bit more predictable than the UK and quite a bit warmer. Thailand has an equatorial climate in the extreme south and a tropical monsoon climate in the centre and north of the country. This means it can be quite important to get your dates right. Most of the rainfall will be between May to October each year. This can get quite heavy, but there is still an average of five hours of sunshine during this period. The driest months are November to April and the hottest in April and May. The wet season is probably best avoided, it will be cheaper but the mix of heat and humidity can be quite oppressive.

Some couples might want to ship their whole collection of friends and family out with them to enjoy their special day, but that can be expensive unless everyone is willing to tie the wedding in with a holiday. Thailand weddings are best enjoyed as small and intimate affairs or for second marriages where the relaxed personal experience and the gathering of a few close friends and family members is much more attractive than a costly reception with many guests you hardly even know.

Most tour operators will brief you on everything you need to arrange before your trip to the Far East. It is worth noting that a registered marriage for UK and Irish citizens is legally binding in the UK. You should try to book as far in advance as possible as dates can get snapped up quickly and some resorts will need up to 12 weeks notice. You also want to make sure there is enough availability for any friends and family who are coming with you. Documents can also take some time to be processed so it is wise not to leave anything to the last minute.

It is not hard to see why many people choose to take themselves to Thailand to enjoy their special day and honeymoon. The country is so diverse and has so much to offer with stunning landscapes, mountainous areas, rugged jungles, exotic beaches and bustling cities. Some of the most popular locations for Thailand holidays, honeymoons and weddings are the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi and Phuket where you can choose from a number of luxury resorts and spas with stunning white sandy beaches and spectacular views from beachside accommodation. What better way could you spend your wedding day than on a paradise island with your closet friends and family?
