Discover Thailand - Travel Itineraries and Tips For Thailand

Thailand is the most visited tourist destination of Southeast Asia, with a tropical climate, breathtaking natural beauty, inspiring temples, great beaches and superb cuisine. Even inexperienced travelers can travel independently in Thailand, as long as they don't travel too far off the beaten track. Adventurous travelers could head almost anywhere without too much difficulty. The itinerary below will give first-time visitors a whirlwind tour of the country:

Day 1 - Arrive in Bangkok.

Day 2 - Bangkok.

Day 3 - Day trip to Ayutthaya to see the historic ruined temples; or for nature lovers, a trip to Khao Yai National Park. Return in the evening.

Days 4-6 - Fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and explore the northern provincial capital and surrounding area.

Day 7 - Fly directly south to Koh Samui or Phuket.

Days 8-9 - Enjoy the beach life for a couple of days.

Day 10- Return to Bangkok and depart Thailand.

If you are particularly interested in ruins, make a loop north and northeast from Bangkok and see all of the best ruins in about 5 days using a rented car with driver (or in a week if you're taking trains and buses). A nice route is Bangkok-Ayutthaya-Lop Buri-Sukhothai-Udon Thani-Phimai-Bangkok.

Whatever itinerary you choose, you will likely pass through Bangkok more than once-the best ruins are north and northeast of the capital, the best trekking is northwest and the islands are all south of Bangkok to the east and west. Nearby beaches can be reached within three to four hours from Bangkok by bus; the large island beaches such as Koh Samui and Phuket are an hour away by plane.

Deep Fried Critters in Thailand

Southeast Asia is definitely a location where you can experience a different way of life. This includes some of the things you can find to eat on the streets of the cities.

There is a certain aspect to being a tourist that can make you wonder a bit. The issue is whether some of the things you experience are things the locals really do or just something setup to see how gullible tourists are. In Southeast Asia, this often centers on the food being eaten.

You've probably watched a few travel shows or perhaps Bizarre Foods that have centered on Asia. The show will focus on the daily meals of locals, but also bring in the oddity that seems primarily to be tailored to the tourist crowd. You know - fried cow testicles, eyes and what have you. The Thailand version of the mystery meal is found with the odd deep friend critters you find in kiosks on the road.

Let's start with the basics. Can you really buy fried spiders and other bugs on the side of the road? Yes, you can. The stranger the food stuff, the more likely it is to be found crisped up on a stick. The food ranges from big spiders to crickets to roaches to...well, anything you can stick on the pointy end of the stick.

The eating process is also fairly uniform. The kiosks tend to be in locations where tourists congregate. More pointedly, the locations are ones where tourists tend to congregate to consume adult beverages. You don't see fried spider kiosks outside the local museum, but they can always be found outside of the bars. This should tell you a lot.

So, what does fried spider taste like? It tastes like fried cricket, roach and so on. The basic cooking approach seems to be to fry the insect until it is extremely overdone. There is no taste other than the oil. This should also be another clue as to whether locals eat these things.

Having spent many months in Thailand, I can tell you that locals will occasionally eat the odd cooked insect. That being said, it is very rare. The fried critters you find on the side of the road outside of adult beverage establishments tend to be tailored for the tourists. This tends to be true around the world, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the same goes for Thailand.

If you feel like trying a deep fried spider in Thailand, have at it. Just don't assume the locals munch on them every night!

Thailand Travel Information

Million of travelers visit Thailand yearly. In fact, Thailand draws more travelers than any other country in Southeast Asia. Why? There are million of travelers, because Thailand is a very beautiful country. Thailand is known for its renowned hospitality, sacred temple, and breathtaking natural beauty. Thailand offers something for all type of travelers.

When is the best time to go? If you plan to visit Thailand between July and November, the weather can be uncomfortably for you. Around July and November, it will be rainy season in Thailand. It rains a lot, and the weather can be unpredictably sticky. The weather is at its best from February to March. It is perfect time to go to the beaches.

The peak seasons are August, November, December, February, and March. There are secondary peak months in January and July. The tickets to Thailand around the peak seasons are usually high. If you plan to visit Thailand during the peak seasons, it will be a good idea to plan in advance. If you buy the tickets in advance, it will be much cheaper.

If you can travel during the least crowded months (April, May, June, September, and October), you will save big time from low-season air plane tickets and discounted rooms. If you avoid popular destinations like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket during prime time, you will probably find a good deal.

If you are visiting Thailand right now, you should that there are some risks. A series of deadly bombings took place in Bangkok on December 31, 2006.

Tat Hueang Waterfall of Thailand

Loei is around 520 kilometers from Bangkok offering some of the most spectacular spots for tourists to enjoy. Although the province is located in the northeast, it has many things common with the northern region of Thailand, including its high hills and mountains which are home to many waterfalls. One such waterfall that is worth visiting in Loei is Tat Hueang Waterfall.

Tat Hueang Waterfall, also known as Thai-Lao Waterfall, is fed by Hueang River and this means that you can see it right around the year. The Hueang River marks the boundary between Thailand and its neighbor, Laos, and the waterfall is jointly owned by the two countries. In fact, Tat Hueang Waterfall marks the border between Thailand and Laos.

The waterfall is definitely breathtaking and impressive. It plunges 30 meters down and is approximately 40 meters wide. It is set amid thick verdant forest so getting there can take a little effort but you will find that the time and effort it takes to get to the waterfall is definitely worth it. The view and noise of the water pounding to the lower realms is truly amazing and incredible.

In order to get to Tat Hueang Waterfall, you need to travel around 7 kilometers on the Na Haeo-Rom Klao Road and then another 10 kilometers on the way to Bo Mueang Noi

Once you reach the waterfall, there are things that will keep you busy. You can decide whether you want to trek, sit down and relax, have a picnic or go for a delightful and fun-filled swim.

Travel Solutions

When taking part in conferences, some of the main aspects that need to be looked into are travel solutions. When there are conferences in which people have to travel, there will always be various travel needs of those people. Whether it be transportation issues, such as taxi service, airport location, train service, or accommodations and hospitality needs, travel solutions are vital to make sure that the people attending the conferences will be able to get there and be taken care of.

One of the main ways to take care of travel solutions can be to work with a travel agent in the area where the conference will be held. A travel agent will know the area and all the travel routes to the area in which they work. Frequently, travel agents have special agreements with places such as hotels, taxi services, or car rental services. A travel agent can be very helpful when planning conferences. Many times, companies will have training courses, sales presentations, or seminars that employees are required to attend. The company can hire a travel agent to take care of the travel solutions of the employees. It will also be more likely if one travel agency is used that all the people attending will be staying in the same accommodations and using shared transportation. In corporate events such as the ones mentioned, the company should be concentrating on their business and the event rather than for things such as employee accommodation and travel solutions. This is the main reason why a travel agent can be very helpful for corporate events.

When looking into accommodations for a conference, travel is one of the main areas that need to be taken care of. It does not matter if it is for a PR conference with 1,000 people or a training course with only a few people. The accommodations for the people attending conference are an important factor because people attending the conference will need a place to stay. Many times, hotels or inns will take care of travel solutions when dealing with fairly large conferences. If many people at the conference will be staying at the hotel, then they can arrange for transportation of their guests to and from the conference.

One of the main things that people look for when planning an event or conference is what venue should be used. When trying to find a venue, travel solutions are one of the key points in choosing where to have a conference. The proximity to such things as hotels, airports, train stations, bus stations, and car rental services is looked at when choosing a venue. A venue that is well placed and not far from any of these transportation and hospitality establishments is one that will look more attractive to those putting on the conference. Many times, conference venues are all about logistics and how easy it is for the people attending to get to the venue. The venue can be the best meeting place for parties or conventions, but if it too much of a hassle for people to get there, the turnout will not be as good.

It is very easy to deal with the venue itself as you can talk directly to them, or use a travel service. You should be able to find one that will fit your needs in terms of space needed and services offered by the venue site itself. It is more difficult to come up with travel solutions, as they are typically not directly associated with the venue site. For businesses that are holding conventions, they will get more of a turnout if they provide the people attending various travel solutions to choose from, rather than having the people do everything themselves. For example, if a company deals with many product launches, then they will want as many people to attend as possible, so they will be able to see, and possibly purchase, the product that is coming out. If the company that deals in product launches, not only lets prospective customers know about the venue, but helps them with travel solutions, then it is more likely that people will attend.

Travel solutions are important when deciding where the venue should be for a conference. This is even more the case if the conference is to be held internationally. The further away the conference is, the more important travel solutions are. Finding a great venue is not only about the venue itself, but also about the needs of the people travelling to the conference. Many times, when choosing a venue for a conference, companies do not take into account the necessary travel solutions. It is not only about needed space and capacity with venues, as other things such as accommodations, transportation, and hospitality factors are almost as important when running a successful conference.

Allowing the Travel Dream

The travel business is incredible. It is filled with multiple opportunities to investigate on line. Look at the multitude of sites dedicated to travel on the web, in magazines, on television and or radio. Advertisers bombard us with their "Best Price!, Exotic locations and the hottest deals". When you travel, what are your main concerns? Is it the costs, or types of accommodations, or what can we do with the kids? Maybe your trip is for business travel, which has completely different concerns than vacations. Just to be in a financial position to actually get away for short or long periods of time these days may be a perk.

The economy dictates so much of the details a person has to consider if planning to travel. Businesses are re-thinking the associated costs of sending associates or sales teams out of the office vs. using new technology to conduct office web-conferences. But I am wanting to discuss mental vacations for this article. My question then is does the internet provide all of the necessary options?

By searching the web, the destinations are bountiful. Where in the United States can we go? Just a click and maybe it is skiing in Colorado or Utah; or golfing in Arizona or Florida; or the many parks and natural treasures throughout all the states can be invigorating. Maybe it is to site-see in South America or Australia; run on the Great Wall; tour the vineries of Portugal. Now that would be a fabulous trip to take. With technology today, one can 'see' these areas on the internet. The current economy makes this more of an option at this time.

The volatility of oil prices this year, which is less today due the supply being greater than demand, there are cost effective options to look at to possibly take some sort of trip. If you reside in the western portion of the United States, traveling to the Rocky Mountains for skiing is viable. The amount of snow at many resorts has been ahead of years past that powdered eyebrows and ice cycles dangling from one's nose, are truly in reach. Availability at most lodges can still be found even though it may take some researching. But that is what makes the internet so impressive.

Or maybe your idea of getting away would be a warmer climate. I know that the older I get, the more warmth I can be surrounded by, the less 'snap-like' the bones become. Weather in the Phoenix/Scottsdale (not to mention the current excitement for their beloved football team) is perfect for swinging those metal implements of frustration. Or Florida would be more practical due to your proximity. Can you imagine lounging on the beaches along the coast of Florida? With winter weather, imagining can be such a powerful mental exercise. Feeling the comfortable breezes crossing the tops of the ears, the grainy sands captivating your toes, and umbrella drinks that color the tongue. Can you just feel it?

Decisions, decisions.

So let's look at this for a moment. Every travel site I clicked upon had many interesting destinations. One of the places I would love to get to is Portugal. Watching the European Golf Tour, which has a few events there, has tingled the desire to visit. This area of the world just intrigues me. I went to Portugal online. What a trip! The scenes of traditional villages, narrow streets winding through vibrant cities, the expanse of vineyards scattered in the country. The views along the Atlantic with dramatic windswept cliffs and sun-drenched backdrops, it is one dream that I am aspiring for.

See how simple the mental imagery and the power of the internet can supplement actually making the trip? No, it's not like the real thing however, it does provide me the visionary motivation needed to plan a visit within two years.

Could a vision of a sunrise conjure up serenity by watching the unwrapping of those brilliant red rock vortexes that reach up from around Sedona, Arizona? The reflection of the reddish cliffs from the waters of Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing can mysteriously energize the soul. This area truly has mystical sources of energy that previously could only be found on the prairies after enjoying peyote around the campfire.

Just a few mental exercises like these can plant a seed to plan a vacation so simple or outlandishly exotic. Would you be able to put one on your 2009 agenda? Why not! We are not getting any younger. Many places we want to see and experience, even before you begin to fill out a 'Bucket List , can be within reach provided a plan is formulated. Now would be a great time to begin the mental process by getting on-line to start researching ideas. This is the early stages of the planning process and provides the best time to fantasize about the exotics locations before wandering back to the practical.

Look for a trip you never thought of. The web can provide this type of entertainment as we deluge our fantasy of being at that far away place. Maybe our own little "Lost" adventure, only with umbrella drinks, doting pool boys or scantily clad bunnies, clean beaches, gentle ocean breezes with waves seducing us to sleep. Oh the dreamy thoughts one can conjure now. Allow your mind to wander. Go to places, mentally, that you have always dreamed about. By taking this first step, the mental vacation, the coming days, afternoons, or evenings of coming weeks may create a happier time. Because this is all about relaxing.

Now let us look at the coming year. Could there be a short trip in say, the near future, for anyone of us? Or maybe a shorter four day outing in the early summer. The ideas are abundant. To treat ourselves from time to time is necessary when most of what we hear or read is negative. Now with the 'hope' that has been touted for nearly two years and put in place this past January 20th, why not "HOPE" a vacation is in your future. Some would say that if we all spend a little more money, pumping it in to the economy, we might get things going again. "Hope springs eternal".

Most people believe they are not able to believe a vacation is possible. They are choosing to hold out for some period of time till things improve. Lets say that time may be on your side to plan a vacation. Time may be on your side to save and/or make the money needed to do so. If a second income could encourage a trip, a goal within reach, investigate any opportunity and achieve that goal. If your dream trip would be an ultimate goal, it could behoove you to research a multitude of opportunity, and you just may reach that dream much sooner.
