Would you like to visit a land which has beautiful sandy beaches, extremely friendly locals, tasty exotic food and thousands of years of fascinating culture and history to delve into? If that is the case, then Thailand may very well be the holiday destination for you. It may sound predictable to say it, but Thailand really is a wonderful and exciting dream holiday destination.
The capital of Thailand is Bangkok, and this may very well give you your first impression of the country. And what an impression! It’s a real steamy and bustling city and while it is famous for the seedier night-life in some places, there is also plenty here for those more interested in the country’s culture as well. There’s a lot to take in when you arrive at first, but you will be sure to acclimatise in no time.
When planning your holiday, a time to avoid may be September. Monsoon season occurs about then so be wary of booking holidays around this time. Apart from that, the months from March to June can be very humid and hot so please come prepared in terms of clothing. In fact, a trip to the beach may very well be in order at this time.
Thai people are very welcoming to visiting tourists. They are also famously laid-back and tolerant. The food is also excellent and a far cry from the bland Thai curries which can be bought in a jar in your local supermarket. Street food is also tasty, filling and very reasonably priced and the atmosphere and smells on a Bangkok street at night are to be savoured.
Thailand’s beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world and picture postcard views are afforded from them. Water sports are available in abundance with everything from scuba diving to jet-skiing to kayaking well catered for. A special treat for lovers of marine wildlife would be the special trips to the many remote reefs and islands scattered throughout the land. Indeed, ‘James Bond Island’ is even here, made famous from its appearance in ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’. Although I doubt you’ll catch a glimpse of Bond himself!
Last but not least, Thailand’s nightlife is truly legendary and not for the faint-hearted. If that’s the sort of thing you are after, then believe me, it’s all here waiting for you. It really is as outrageous and off-the-wall as everyone says it is – and more so.
So, in summary, Thailand holidays to me stand for; beautiful sandy beaches, exciting night-life, a fantastic climate, friendly locals and tasty food. If this sounds good to you, then get on that plane today!
