Thailand

Simple Enjoyment in Thailand

There are plenty of travelers that consider Thailand as a must-see destination. It is renowned not only for its stunning beaches but also for the sophisticated local cuisine and of course, the culture that is devoted to the practice of Buddhism.

Every single year, Thailand receives millions of tourists from different parts of the world because of its status as one of Asia’s primary destinations. Regardless of the frequency of foreign travelers, Thailand has been able to preserve its local culture. Although it remains open to modern day influences, the locals saw to it that they are able to keep their cultural heritage intact and this is what continues to contribute to the vast degree of tourism in the area.

The cities offer sights of high-rises and numerous commercial trading establishments while other areas house locals that continue thriving in simple Thai methods. Farming villages, fishing communities, and canal produce traders continue to thrive. Aside from the rural environment, travelers can also embark on a journey to visit the different temples, primarily Buddhist in nature, which are scattered around Thailand. Thailand is also a popular destination because of the remnants from the Vietnam War. Despite all of the modernizations that have taken place through the years, people can still relive memories of past battles.

Thailand is not all about temple trips and monument visits. There is also more to it than amazing shopping and dining experiences. There are plenty of other things that make Thailand a great city. It is also home to a number of natural wonders that provide locals and travelers with opportunities to explore and embark on various adventures. Rock climbing, trekking, hiking, repelling, and other adrenalin powered activities can be found here. These though are not for the faint of heart but ideal for brave souls.

The Best Options for Getting Around Hua Hin/Cha-Am

October 28, 2013 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

While Hua Hin and Cha-Am beaches may be exactly what tranquil-loving vacationers are looking for, these coastal sand territories of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province largely owe their popularity to the construction of Marukhathaiyawan Palace by King Rama VI, right between the Hua Hin and Cha-Am provincial districts. The Cha-Am is roughly 160 kilometers South of Bangkok. The Hua Hin, on the other hand, lies further South about 25 kilometers from Cha-Am. Both are accessible by air from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua Hin Airport, and by land from the capital and the surrounding cities. Getting around Hua Hin/Cha-Am districts is also easy.

Tips on Getting to Hua Hin/Cha-Am the Most Convenient Way

October 28, 2013 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

The Prachuap Khiri Khan Province of Thailand, some 285 kilometers South West of Bangkok, is known for its historical attractions and beach destinations. The most popular district of the eight districts of Prachuap Khiri Khan is the Hua Hin. North of Hua Hin is another unspoiled beach, the beach of Cha-Am in Phetchaburi province. The two beaches are said to be the most beautiful in the area. Getting to Hua Hin/Cha-Am is easy.

The Hua Hin and Cha-Am beaches can be easily reached by train, buses and minibuses leaving from Bangkok. The minibuses travel faster than buses and the fare is only slightly higher than bus fare. Of course, you can always take a taxi if you’re prepared to pay more than what you’ll be spending on a bus journey, but even though taxis in Thailand are required to use meters, it is not strictly followed, so you should be prepared to negotiate a price with the driver before taking the ride. The price is just a little less than what you would pay for an airfare, so it’s probably best to just take an airplane if you’re willing to spend anyway. …

Why You Should Go Shopping in Hua Hin/Cha-Am

October 27, 2013 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

Unlike the many beaches in other parts of the world, you won’t find the sandy coasts of Hua Hin and Cha-Am teeming with shopping stalls and pleasure-seeking tourists. Instead sun worshippers lounging in the beach and ponies with tourist riders trotting along the beach are the common sight in Hua Hin and Cha-Am. Part of the allure of these beaches are the peace and quiet sea-setting that they offer vacationers. There are occasional beach vendors approaching tourists to offer their craft in Cha-Am, but not a lot: the beaches are relatively quiet and are never too crowded even on weekends. There is, however, a vibrant local market if you’re planning to do some shopping in Hua Hin/Cha-Am districts.

Transportation Tips You Could Use When Getting Around Bangkok

September 9, 2013 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, getting around Bangkok was an activity most tourists would rather not experience. The traffic was terrible and the public transportation available did not help. Now, getting around the city is not only a joy but is also a breeze.

In 1999 the government launched its first mass transit system, opening the door to a whole new way of moving and touring the country. With the modern transport system installed, getting around Bangkok became easy not only for its citizens but also for its tourists.

Bangkok has two of the fastest modes of transportation on land: the Bangkok Skytrain and the Bangkok Underground. The Bangkok Skytrain, also called BTS, is the quickest way to go around town. It has two routes: the Sukhumvit which runs North to East and the Silom which runs West to South. On the other hand, the Bangkok Underground, also called MRT, serves 18 stations and spans 20 kilometers of a crescent-shaped route. It passes through stations with major attractions like Chatuchak Weekend Market, Thailand Cultural Center, Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Lumpini Park, Silom Road and Sukhumvit Road.

What You Should Know about Thailand’s Dress Culture and What to Wear in Bangkok

September 9, 2013 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

Wondering what to wear in Bangkok? If you’re going to spend your vacation in Thailand, there are two things worth remembering that will guide you in your choice of clothing. First, Thailand is a tropical country and is hot all year round. The heat peaks during the summer months of March through May. Second, the Thais are a conservative bunch. Wearing scanty clothes is not only inappropriate but is also frowned upon by the conventional locals.

It is ideal to wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing with the heat and the humidity in Bangkok. Jeans are acceptable wear in most places, but you may want to wear nylon pants instead as it’ll be more comfortable under the heat of the sun. If you plan to visit the beach, shorts and sleeveless shirts are definitely fine, but when you’re in the city, dressing appropriately is considered respectful. You’ll find that the Thais take great pains in dressing and they appreciate tourists who are mirroring their regard for appropriate clothes. …
