Islands of southern Thailand, also known as "paradise" islands are known for the most popular destinations in the world. More than 12 million tourists visited Thailand in 2005, and most of them had managed the Bangkok International Airport immediately after their arrival on the left and straight to the islands of the south. Some of the visitors through the stories of people involved in the charm of an unforgettable atmosphere of the islands were intrigued, some of them were takenthrough pictures, set out to find, while others, in the words of his travel agent that the Thai islands are in fact the final destination for all, the taste of age, budget and personality were convinced it fits. This may partially explain the massive flow of honeymooners, tourists, families on holiday, party people, divers and many other islands in Thailand each year.
However, inexperienced travelers in Thailand are unaware of the fact that a vacation is not satisfactoryWhat infallible, even in a place called Paradise Island Nick. To be successful, joy and contentment, you have your vacation to be planned carefully. unusual destinations often hide little secrets unknown to the vast potential to continue to make the desired positive change in your vacation.
In this article, the biggest mistakes committed before and during the visit to the Thai islands. Compliance or violation of the following five changes can literally make or break yourHoliday in the south islands of Thailand.
1. An error in choosing your holiday island spontaneously identical. Web Images of tropical islands often make them look fast. The inexperienced traveler may assume that no matter where you go in Southern Thailand Islands - meet in the very picturesque beach with white sand, turquoise water and a coconut palm. Fall into the illusion of images in your choice of holiday island of pure instinct cana very disappointing final destination the island does not meet your needs, your personality or expectations at all. To avoid this error, you can set the preferences before hand, make a dedicated research before choosing a destination with the collection of information on guide in addition to using the Internet. How to choose the island that pay attention to their needs, the following matches:
a. The level of development of tourism. Some travelersas their islands with tourist facilities (such as Phuket, Koh Samui) to load, while the other classic touch isolation "old school" (ie, Koh Phangan, Khao Lak) prefer.
b. Nightlife - Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi, Koh lesser extent, in a lively nightlife, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao are so quiet and sleepy.
c. Diving - Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao offer the best diving in southern Thailand.
d. The predominant level of accommodation. Phuket and Koh PhiPhi offers an immense variety of luxury hotels, while Koh Phangan and Koh Tao usually simple (not necessarily low-level).
2. Error 2 on the assumption that the vacancy may be great at a price that made very low. Some travelers tend to mistakenly believe that economic Thailand is a country with the countries in the developing world, ridiculous economy, offering everything a standard hospital stay in. This is partially correct, as the tourism industry offers alow cost travel options for backpackers. However, the agony of the tourists who are accustomed to Westernized luxury hotels where you can enjoy the hard way that they are appropriate in terms of expectations, travel expenses, which together will be offered. To avoid this problem and deal with serious deviations from the planned budget - to make your search by price differentials in the south of Thailand to reach the islands. For example, you should know that staying in some islands (eg, Koh PhiPHI) is probably more expensive, while others may remain in the islands (eg, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao) is significantly cheaper. To avoid disappointment, in the context of the costs, I recommend the following guidelines to members:
a. So you are planning a budget based on estimates made by someone else, especially if that person has visited the Thai island many years ago, the holiday spent in another island, as they chose, much younger than you or if you prefer a life differentStandard.
b. An informed decision about the desired level of accommodation. The simple structure that a clean rooms with air conditioning and bathrooms may include Western-style are sent to relatively low, if not ridiculous price. In contrast, luxury accommodation (the type of accommodation is quite common in Phuket and Koh Samui) are almost as expensive as hotels in the neighboring country.
c. Although the revision of tariffs of the rooms is possible with the help ofInternet - the price of food must be carefully controlled and it is. Do not assume that no matter where you eat - the food is cheap. During my first visit to Thailand, I was very surprised to receive a check for the same value in my home. Now I know that the islands of southern Thailand offers a variety of restaurants in western style with western-style prices. So before you make a well-designed restaurant - check the menu and make clear the budget estimate.
3 3 Mistake:Your choice of beach holiday spontaneously -. This is similar to the error number, but probably easier to fix, because the review is more beaches on the destination server occurs logistically easier and less expensive than other islands. However, the beach "wrong" choice, you feel that you are not using the full potential of your vacation, or you have wasted a substantial part of it. For example, my first visit in Koh Phangan I discovered two days before the end of myFor the holidays, the beach that my "perfect" is located on the opposite side of the island. The following tips can help avoid a similar situation:
a. The beaches and the most advanced on the crowd most of the islands are located near the airport (if there is an airport in your own island) or to one of the most important ports.
b. If you prefer nature of the top beaches - are aware that some of them, especially in Koh Samui and Phuket are non-families.
c. The old schoolquiet beaches and picturesque are always on the opposite side of the island. If the "old school" beach is what you're looking for - do not give up, even if the way Thailand was long and tiring, and feel a little effort to make the island on the way to the opposite side to the load, is the sorry for you.
4. Error 4 insistence on food western food. Some of us tend to experiment with foreign companies. The Thai tourism industry is aware of this fact;Hence, the supply of Western-style restaurants in Southern Thailand Islands is enormous. Having said that, limit yourself to these restaurants could be a big mistake, because prices for western food are much higher than the authentic local restaurants, and even worse, you lose one of the most important experiences of Thai Culture - Thai higher kitchen, probably one of the best in the world. To avoid this error, do not hesitate to include small restaurantswith ridiculously neglected interior, plastic cards and facing walls. These restaurant owners' are probably the worst marketing -. But in general are more cooks a meal in one of these restaurants is often incredibly cheap, tasty and above all fresh crisp you fantasize about these meals long after the island. have left.
5. Mistake 5 To the sea, have a great business case on an island can be accessed only by chance. A greatis very convenient [in Europe]: Allows you to pack everything you need can be easily carried out thanks to these small wheels, and makes you look very representative. But a large suitcase in Koh Phangan and Koh Tao is not something that I would recommend. The platforms in the post are extremely narrow and unstable. So if you're really lucky - your big suitcase will be safe. If you are a bit 'less fortunate - may fall into the water. If you're short of luck- You can drop into the water with your case. I seriously think a rear bag would be the best solution. Just for the record, the huge trunk, which was taken by me on their first trip to Koh Phangan, was somewhere in the jungle monkeys scare the local left.
So the next time that the idea of heading the islands of Thailand through the mind, as tempting as it may be, try not to succumb to the voices and compelling images. Extensive research and planning for the future may take some timeand effort on your part, but it's worth.
