Top 5 Cities to see during a Holiday in Thailand

Top 5 Cities to see during a Holiday in Thailand


By: Stuart CheeseIn my

capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, one of my jobs is to ensure every client has the best tour possible, so here are my top 5 suggestions for cities to visit in Thailand during your holiday.

1.Bangkok is a fascinating city which has managed to keep it’s ancient eastern traditions whilst embracing the modern progression of the western world. Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and offers a host of experiences which include floating markets, modern bars, top of the range shopping, gastronomical delights and ancient temples steeped in the city’s history.The Chao Phraya River separates the city and has a series of canals.

The new ‘Sky train’ railway is something which should be experienced whilst in the city should you fancy avoiding the bustling traffic.One of the largest floating markets is on the outskirts of Bangkok and you’ll greeted by the aromatic smells and the age old tradition of the locals and their way of making a living along the busy canals.There is an array of beautiful and ancient buildings not to be missed whilst in Thailand. Although I did not personally experience all of the nightlife, it was made obvious to me that all of my entertainment needs would be taken care of by all well informed taxi drivers wishing to proudly show off their culture.

2. Phuket is the biggest island attraction that Thailand has to offer. It is the perfect place to retreat to and enjoy a tropical paradise. Although the west coast of the island was almost destroyed by the tsunami of 2004, there is very little evidence remaining to show that it occurred.Not to be missed are:Old Phuket Town.
Chinese immigrants from the 19th century, who were lured in the past by the tin mines, left behind them a host of amazing Sino-Portuguese mansions along Dibu and Thalang roads.Thai Boxing. A personal favourite of mine, this national sport is violent and very fast paced. For regular matches the Saphan Him Stadium in Phuket City is the place to be.

3.Krabi. Krabi Province is in the middle southern part of Thailand. It is situated in the aquamarine water of the Andaman Sea. It is one of the most stunning places in all of Thailand.Krabi Town is situated near the mouth of the Krabi River. The Mangrove forest is something to experience and is a must for avid bird watchers. Krabi Resort is set among a curtain of palm trees on the Ao-PhraNang beach. This is a delightful place to be if you are looking to soak up the natural beauty that surrounds you.

4. Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is a city full of traditional heritage that shares its secrets with all who wish to discover them. It is a city with stunning natural beauty. It is amazing to see plants that we have to protect from the frost, growing in their scores, naturally along the roadside.The people of Chiang Mai are a wonder in themselves with exceptional handicraft skills producing magical souvenirs for the endless throng of visitors. Chiang Mai houses the Inthanon Mountain, standing 8,448 feet above sea level making it the highest mountain Thailand.

5.Sukhothai. When visiting Sukhothai the main attractions for the area are Phra Mae Ya Shirne which is located in the Muang District. You will see a long haired figure made of stone that resembles an ancient queen.


There is also a museum and National park as well as monuments of great interest inside the city walls.Article Source: http://www.superfeature.comhttp://www.AdSenseThai.Net

7 Reasons to Take Travel Insurance

7 Reasons to Take Travel Insurance

7 Reasons to Take Travel Insurance By: Evan MossIf you are traveling


abroad this year, it is worth spending some time looking at getting some travel insurance. The provision of cover in the case of disease or accident is extremely important in certain countries, and could save you on a fortune.


As well as medical cover, travel insurance provides cover for numerous other events.And travelling without the correct insurance this summer could leave you thousands of pounds out of pocket if you become ill or have an accident overseas.

Recent figures from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office estimate that half of people going on a short break are uninsured compared to 13% of those on longer duration trips. However, accidents can happen in the shortest space of time, and it is much better to be safe than sorry.

If you forget to take out travel insurance for your holiday you could be in line for some expensive bills if you were to fall prey to an accident.The following shows some examples of typical medical costs:Anywhere in the Med should you pick up Gastro-enteritis, you will be liable for: £400 - £600• Two days in a general hospital ward in the Mediterranean would incur costs of: £600• Broken leg in the USA, in total including all hospital bills and other expenses will cost: £10,000• A scheduled flight in business class with a nurse escort from the west coast of the USA will set you back in the region of: £9,000 - £12,000• An air ambulance back to the UK from the Balearics will cost you between: £10,000 - £12,000• Costs for catching bronchitis requiring seven days' in-patient treatment in the Far East will be around £15,000• Catching bronchitis and requiring seven days' in-patient treatment in the USA, will cost even more, at: £20,000Even if travelling within the EU with a European Health Insurance card [which replaced the old E111 form] you may find that you have to pay a large percentage of the cost of treatments which you may have expected to be free. Remember also that the EHIC only provides this limited cover in EU countries, and not ht whole of Europe. The European Health Insurance Card is no substitute for travel insurance, but it is useful to have.So no matter what length your holiday this summer, remember to take out travel insurance.


It's far better to have it there just in case than take a potentially expensive gamble.Article Source: http://www.superfeature.com
