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 were indeed the ultimate 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 travelersislands as their dependents) with tourist facilities (such as Phuket, Koh Samui, others) prefer the classic touch "touch" old-school isolation (ie, Koh Phangan, Khao Lak.
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 sites in the southThailand.
d. The predominant level of accommodation. Phuket and Koh Phi Phi offers an immense variety of luxury hotels, while Koh Phangan and Koh Tao usually offer simple accommodation (not necessarily low-level).
2. Error 2 on the assumption that the vacancy may be a major turning point is very low in some travelers tend to do, wrongly assumes that developing countries are Thailand, a country with standard economics is all about, including a high hospitalridiculously low prices. This is partly true, as the tourism industry for low cost travel options is proposed to 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 - get to make your search by price differencesSouthern Thailand Islands. For example, you should be aware that some islands (eg, Koh Phi Phi) should be more expensive, while on other islands (eg, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao) can be considerably 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 visits the Thai islands for many yearsearlier, he spent the holidays in another island, as they chose, much younger than you or prefer a different standard of living.
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) canalmost as expensive as hotels in the neighboring country.
c. Although the revision of the room is available on the Internet - the price of food should be carefully checked e. 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.Therefore, before making a beautifully designed restaurants - check the menu and make clear estimate of the budget.
3 3 Error: the choice of beach holiday spontaneously .. This is similar to the error number - but probably easier to fix, because the scanning beaches on the target server is easier and less expensive than other islands review other logistics. However, the beach "wrong" choice, you feel that you are not using the full potential of your vacation, or whowasted significant part of it. For example, my first visit in Koh Phangan I discovered two days before the end of my vacation that my perfect "beach" on the other 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 the above-mentioned typeBeaches - be aware that some of them, especially in Koh Samui and Phuket, not family.
c. The beaches of the tranquil and picturesque old school 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 persistto western food. Some of us tend to worry about food, experimenting with a stranger. The Thai tourism industry is aware of this fact, and then the offer of Western-style restaurants in the islands of southern Thailand is huge. That said, limiting yourself to these restaurants could be a big mistake, as the prices of Western cuisine are much higher than the authentic local restaurants, and even worse, you lose one of the fundamental experiences ofThai culture - superior Thai cuisine, probably one of the best in the world. To avoid this error, please do not overlook small restaurants with ridiculously interior, plastic cards and walls exposed to enter. 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 you.have left the island.
. 5 Problem 5: the sea, take a big event for every undertaking of this little island that could be called. To a large bag is very convenient [in Europe] manual, it should pack everything, you can easily thanks to the 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 are very narrow and the postoccasionally 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 run out of luck - you can fall into the water with your case. I seriously think a rear bag would be the best solution. for the record, the huge trunk, Koh Phangan was only taken by me in their first trip to monkey was left somewhere in the jungle to frighten local.
So the next time that the idea of headingthe 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 time and effort on your part, but it's worth.
