1. Thailand Traveling Tips For The Active Traveler
My 75-year old aunt loves the typical Asian tours, with hordes of like-minded seniors comfortably
traveling in gigantic, air-conditioned buses. Of course, there are advantages to this type of travel: One
has a greater expectation of safety and expects to see the highlights of the destination without
wasting much time in trying to find them. Another point to note is the unavailability of literature (at
least for non-English speakers) in describing what they are looking at. A guide for a particular group
will most likely be able to communicate in the group's language, making the whole spectacle that
much more understandable.
The tourists who make the Bangkok tours should not miss the chance of visiting the temple of Wat
Pho, which the largest as well as the oldest Buddha temple. This temple has a reclined Buddha
statue of about 46 meters. A special massage therapy is also done here to attract visitors. In
Bangkok, Chatuchak market is very famous for its shopping and it is opened on weekends only. You
can also have some fun in the Dusuit Zoo. The bank of the Thonburi River also gathers attention of
the visitors. Taskin monument is the main attraction. The statue of King Taskin is there in this
monument. The museum of Royal Barges has a collection of the kings Golden Swan and his personal
boats.
Anyway, Thailand is a world in itself, so be prepared to be amazed and have all your normal 'logical'
thinking replaced with ongoing illogical and strange behavior. In other words, Thailand is a completely
weird place. Just remember that when you travel to a foreign country, after you get there, you
become the foreigner...
The country is well knows of its pristine beaches, friendly people and authentic cuisine. English is
widely spoken and for many nationalities no visa is required to enter the country. Despite the recent
unrests, travel within the country is considered to be very safe.
Is it recommended for kids?
Kanchanaburi: Just 3 hours west of Bangkok is Kanchanaburi province, covering a great expanse
that borders up to Burma. With its 7 National Parks, Kanchanaburi offers the active traveler a great
choice of activities from river rafting to wild jungle treks. Famous sites include: Bridge on the River
Kwai, a hike on the tiered Erawan Waterfall, and The Tiger Temple.
Finally for this best Thailand Travel Guide is the southern region, the slimmest and longest area of
Thailand. This region is the land in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea so that
beaches are the highlights of this area. Tourists are guaranteed to experience amazing beaches,
stunning beautiful tropical islands and sparkling blue water. Moreover, many alternative western-
standard accommodations are available from world-class hotels to backpacker places that can be
matched with every taste and budget. Due to the existed beautiful reefs and underwater creatures,
Scuba diving and snorkeling are normal activities visitors often choose to enjoy in this area.
