Amazing Thailand!!!



Hello readers,

I just went to Thailand (Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket) for 10 days and believe me it was amazing trip. In this post I will give you some tips ( tried and tested by me :-)) for travelling to Thailand.

Some formalities:

1. Visa- it will cost 1250/- per person for 3 months
2. Airline- Choose cathey pacific as it synchronizes all timings for those who are going from India, apart from that it is on time and in flight services are good enough. costs around 17000 return per person.
3. Time zone: 1.30 hrs behind Indian time.

Some preparations:

1. If you are a veggie (like me) pack some snacks and food with you.
2. take photocopies of passport and visa and put it in each of the baggage. (It might help you when you are on a visit to island or city tours)
3. Take slippers and extra towel, sun cream etc.
4. first thing to do after reaching Bangkok is to get the maps of the cities you are visiting.
5. If you are not going by any tours you will find lots of local tour operators on the Bangkok Suvarnabhoomi airport, try to negotiate and book your package, it will be cheaper and good too.
6. Bangkok people are good and can help you in any situations.

Pattaya and Phuket:

1. Do not do any shopping from pattaya as it is very costly.
2. It is having open culture so do not get shocked if you see 60 year old tourist (Not from Thailand of course) with 20 year old girl.
3. It has all kinds of pubs and bar (Go Go, Gay etc.)
4. Beach tour is amazing, be ready for water sports, It is truly awsum.
5. 3 days are more then sufficient for Pataya and 2 days for Phuket.
6. Bargain in almost all the things.
7. Do not forget to visit coral islands it is amazing.


Bangkok:

1. City tour is must, you will See temples and pagodas. I took a good picture of it which is below.


2. so many good hotels are available in Bangkok but choose one which is at the heart of the city.

3. Market closes by 8-9 so finish all things before that.

4. Do shopping from Bangkok, its cheaper and good.
5. Vegetarian food is hard to find in Bangkok if hotel is not providing so be prepared for that.

Finally it was an amazing trip.

This is for the first time I am writing a travel post so am a novice in that. basically I was on a vacation after 7 years almost ( you see I am so busy..hehe).

Rest is going fine.


ATTITUDE OF DETERMINATION: Ruben says:
“You have to have the attitude that you are willing to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Then, and only then, is success realistic.”



DESIRE: How bad do you want it? How far are you willing to go? Ruben says:
“Burning desire allows a person with average ability to successfully compete with those who have far more ability.”


Good Bye and Take care!!!!
