Thailand is visited by more tourists than any other country in Asia. With its rich history, unspoiled nature and vivid nightlife it caters to virtually all tourists needs.
THAILAND AT A GLANCE
Thailand, one of the most exotic tourist destination lies in the central heart of Southeast Asia. It is an independent country. Thailand occupies the west portion of Indochinese Peninsula. The neighbouring countries of Thailand include Burma, Laos, Cambodia & Malaysia. According to the visitors, Thailand is the place of Golden Land not because of its metal buried underground, but because of its great mixture of golden & white sandy beaches & the warm hospitality.
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT THAILAND:
The best months to visit Thailand is November through to February. Cool Season runs from November through to February with temperatures at 32C during the day, to a bearable 16 C at night, although in the North, it could be as low as 12 C. This also doubles up as the dry season.
The hot and dry season is from March to June and April is the hottest month across the country. At this time temperatures in Bangkok average around 34 degrees centigrade, but can often reach 40 degrees centigrade with high humidity levels. If you are travelling around these times the humidity can cause some discomfort.
THE MOST EXOTIC PLACES IN THAILAND:
Bangkok:
"One night is Bangkok" One nights experience in Bangkok can fill hundreds of pages in travel books".
Bangkok is a exotic travel destination and a desirable place to visit, since Thailand and in particular Bangkok offers some of the most amazing travel experiences on this planet.
Bangkok is full of fun & entertainment. I really enjoyed its Buddhist Temples, colorful & glittering shopping malls & open street markets. I was amazed to see how much this country is growing in both size and population.
I must say Bangkok is a combination of culture & history.
It's many temples are a unique part of the capital's heart and soul. A visit here would not be complete without seeing at least two of them. The best time to visit most temples is in the early morning. It's cooler and generally less crowded. The temples are not just tourist attractions but also play an important part in Buddhist traditions.
Shopping in Bangkok is an experience to thrill and delight the most discerning of shoppers - whatever it is you're looking for. From the gleaming chrome and towering size of modern, air-conditioned malls, to the hustle and bustle of its famously buzzing street markets, Bangkok has all kinds of places to explore. With everything from antiquities and the latest pair of trainers to designer jewellery available, Bangkok has an equally exhaustive, and potentially exhausting, variety of things to buy.
Pattaya:
Pattaya is a combination of fun, excitement, and adventure with a fabulous range of trendy shops to street markets catering to all tastes. From the very expensive to the incredibly cheap, you can find it all here.
Most of the tourist type shops are located on Beach Road or the parallel Second Road in South and Central Pattaya.
Each & every beach has its own speciallity & characteristics. Pattaya Beach offers hotels, shopping malls, street stalls, many Western restaurants, watersports and other leisure activities, and, of course, world infamous Nightlife.
Age is no barrier in Pattaya. It's an ideal family holiday destination with very reasonable prices. Pattaya has the most versatile nightlife entertainment establishments worldwide. It is not only famous for all kind of shows including the very famous transvestite shows and the incredible A Go Go presentation for men and women alike. But it also offers plenty of "ordinary nightclubs and discos for Young and Old.
If you are in Pattaya, do not miss the wonderful Koh Land Island. Jomtien & Naklua beach is famous for its sports & entertaining activities.
Koh Samui:
Koh Samui is my all-time favorite place as it has so many lovely beaches with a great Coconut feel. You will love to be a part of its cultural & social life for a few days. You can visit the beautiful islands with a boat along with English speaking guides. An entertaining elephant ride can make your trip more adventurous.
Koh Samui is famous for beach life as it has a variety of many exciting beach locations.Including Big Buddha, Mae Nam, Lamai, and Choeng Mon, Bophut. I have found them to be some of the most beautiful beach's in the world.
Kanchanaburi:
Kanchanaburi is a very famous place in Thailand. The jungle, the rugged terrain, and wild rivers combine to make Kanchanaburi the most rewarding tourist destination for nature lovers and sportsmen.
There is a bridge over river Kwai, is a part of an unknown railway. The bridge is about 5 km from the centre of Kanchanaburi (you can wait for one of the three daily passenger trains, all of which call at the River Kwae Bridge station, but it's best to take a cycle rickshaw), and it is now surrounded on the Kan'buri side by a museum, cafes, shops and a couple of steam locomotives on static display. The bridge was built by the prisoners of war.
What I really loved at Kanchanaburi is the Tiger Temple. There you can walk with tigers on a leash. I am sure you will enjoy taking care of tiger cubs. Even you will get an opportunity to feed them a bottle of milk. There aren't many places in the world where you can touch a fully-grown tiger, but the monks at Thailand's Tiger Temple allow you to get up close and personal with their domesticated brood of big cats. You will find the Tiger Temple to be of resonable price and Family orintated.
Phi Phi:
Fine, white sandy beaches and breathtaking rock formations rising from the vivid turquoise waters that surround the islands will instantly confirm you've arrived in paradise.
It's a perfect place for those who want to lie down on the beach with a glass or two and just relaxe. Phi Phi has the option of so many beachesto visit. All the beaches are full of white sand & coconut trees. Although sometimes the beaches can get very crowded. You cannot close your eyes to its amazing beauty. Loh Dalum, Tonsai, Laem Tong, Loh Bagao-these beaches are the most beautiful beaches in Phi Phi.
I enjoyed the wild nightlife of Phi Phi. You can find the terrific beach fire dancers with live bands. Phi Phi's nightlife has several very positive things going for it. It's compact, entertaining, young and vibrant and - unlike many other tourist destinations in this part of the world - it's not sleazy.
The island's many pubs and bars are centrally located and easy to find. At 2am the music stops but bars generally stay open for as long as they have customers.
Phuket:
Phuket is a the place for visitors. Catering for all ages. Phuket is Thailand's most popular island. This place is multi-ethnic & the dream destination for all.
The main tourist attraction is water sports, colorful beach restaurants & decorated resorts. There are so many attractions to choose from in Phuket that you will find it hard to decide.. According to the travelers, Phuket's colorful & decorated hotels are world's best.
Phuket is Asia's number one & most popular beach destination. With its amazing tropical sunset, You will be lost in nature while watching the combination of warm blue & green sea.
Patong is one of the famous beach resorts in Phuket, Probably the best beach in Phuket, Patong's 3,000 metres of white sand gently curves around a bay fringed with casuarina trees.
If you are looking for nightlife in Phuket then Patong is the number one choice. Patong has lost of bars, disco, karaokes massages and a gogo bars with beautiful thai girls (bar girls).
Although there is a heavy nightlife in Patong, I think it is suitable for families with kids anyway because the nightlife is centralised to just a small part of Patong; Bangla Road and Soi Sunset and if you avoid these streets on evenings and nights you will never noticed it.
For decades, Thailand has been a budget traveller's paradise, and over the last few years, there's been an increasing surge in luxurious options throughout the country. So be you a budget traveller looking for the cheapest room in town or someone looking for a bit more luxury. There's bound to be something to satisfy your needs. While the majority of the luxury spots are found in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and the Thai islands, budget guesthouses and cheap hotels can be found throughout the country from just about every mid-sized Thai town to in the middle of nowhere hidden away spots.
