Travel information   Over the last couple of decades Thailand has become one of the most loved travel destinations in the world. Each year many thousands of people visit Muang Thai (as it is known locally) for a travel experience they do not easily forget. There are so many interesting and exciting places to visit and explore.   Where to go Given its rich diversity Thailand has a lot to offer its visitors. Of course, Bangkok is one place most start and end their visit to Thailand. The cultural and administrative centre of the country, Bangkok has plenty to offer. Of course, a big, brash, modern city like Bangkok has the creature comforts and entertainment that visitors look for and it's famous for its famous nightlife (with go-go places like Patpong and Nana on most visitors' itineraries). But beyond that, where should a visitor go in Thailand? Read more... What to see Rarely do you find someone bored in Thailand… There's always something to see! Certainly one of the inevitable ingredients to a trip to Thailand is plenty of trips to temples - they really are great places to see so this is no obligatory chore! Unlike some tourist attractions in other countries, Thailand's temples are not just historical sites dressed up to cater for visiting tourists; they are integral components of normal daily life. Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok is an excellent example. Although as far as a tourist is concerned a visit to Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok is equivalent to a visit to the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Tower Bridge in London, locals visit the temple to worship and make merit. Although they might at times be significantly outnumbered, you will see locals at prayer here, as you will at all of the temples on Thailand's tourist track. Temples are not though the only places that reflect Thailand's history and culture that are worthy of a visit. Read more... What to do There's plenty to see in Thailand… and there's also masses to do. What's great about Thailand is the variety of what's on offer and the fact that whatever you try it's not going to break the bank.Take a visit to Thailand's islands and beaches, for instance. You can get straight into diving and snorkeling, whatever level of experience you have. Of course, in most places these activities are on offer there are a number of related water sports available. Thailand does though attract the adventurous, and as well as water sports there are a number of activities that are 'xtreme' in nature as well as bungee jumping and paintball. There are though numerous activities that you can get involved in that are more sedate… if a quick round of golf is more your scene, Thailand has numerous courses, many designed by top-level international golfers. Thailand is also a great place for hiking. Whether you are a serious hiker, or just out for a stroll, there are numerous trekking options open to visitors, particularly in northern Thailand. These days, however, many visitors want to leave Thailand with more than a suntan. Read more... Getting around Thailand is a modern country with a modern public transport network. The country has an extensive range of airports and its domestic air routes make even the farthest flung corners of the kingdom accessible to the visitor. Thailand also has an excellent road and rail system complemented by a very cost-efficient urban bus services and an intercity bus and coach system that links the entire country and provides even the most advanced countries with a genuine definition of efficiency and convenience. But where the public transport system doesn't reach, the entrepreneurs take over and imagination kicks in. As a result, there are some pretty unique methods of transport on offer. What follows is an overview of some of the types of transportation you might experience on your trip to Thailand. Read more... Events Thailand is famed for the number of festivals it has. On a national level key festivals like ‘Songkran’ are now in themselves tourist attractions, while festivals like ‘Loy Krathong’ are becoming increasingly popular with visitors. On the local front though, the number of regional festivals far outweighs the number of festivals celebrated nationally. The Prap Ho Monument Festival is just one example - an annual event held in Nong Khai in March, the festival celebrates the bravery of Thais who resisted the Ho Chinese armies in the nineteenth century. The large number of festivals available in Thailand means there is usually some type of celebration for visitors to experience when they are in the kingdom. There are also a number of events that take place annually that are not festivals but great fun to go to. Read more... Weather Wherever you travel in the world, it is important to get the timing right. Not knowing about a country’s seasons and possible weather conditions can turn your holiday into a nightmare. Likewise, gathering some basic details about what to expect will help you make the right decisions about where and when to go. As far as Thailand is concerned, the best time of year for a visit is between November and February. Generally, the weather is cooler during this period and there is certainly less rain than at other times in the year. However, Thailand is a big country with a diverse landscape. There is somewhere to visit whatever time of the year you visit the kingdom. Read more...
