 Spending holidays in Thailand means the infinite lightness
of being. It consists of beach shopping, endless drive, dazzling sun and sea
saturated turquoise color. Imagine this. White cotton sand. Exciting
excursions. Smoothly running industry of sex. Go-go shows 24 hours a day. Relax in Thailand is the best way to
escape from the daily affairs and problems, plunge into the waves of holiday
for the soul and body.
Thailand is the leader country of tourism in Southeast Asia. It has decent
hotel facilities, quality service and a variety of entertainment, affordable
prices and, of course, Thai hospitality. The main resorts are Pattaya, the
island Phuket, Samui Island, Chang Island, Cha-Am, Hua-Hin, the island of
Phi-Phi and Krabi province. The assortment is good enough, however, you should
keep in mind that beach holidays on the mainland might be spoiled by dirty
beaches, and the strong tide.
The climate also varies in different parts of the country. Thailand has tropical
savannas and a tropical monsoon climate. The hottest period lasts from
March to May, temperature can remain at about 40 degrees. Rainy season
lasts from June to October, temperature varies from 25 to 32 degrees. The
period from November to February is considered cool, and the column of temperature does
not raise over 18-30 degrees. The preferable time for the rest of Thailand
is February and March.
Hotels in Thailand offer low price and the perfect service. The disadvantages
are the lack of animation and relatively small areas of resorts. Also
Thais are still not ready to speak Russian, yet English is difficult for
them. There are no official «stars», hotels are classified by tour
operators, basing on subjective knowledge. Therefore when selecting the
hotel you should focus on services and infrastructure: the quality of
restaurants and nightclubs.
Thai cuisine was unknown in the world until the recent times. However, it
is extremely difficult to call it national. Thai cuisine is strongly influenced
by China, Cambodia, India. If trying to characterize local cooking in one
word, it can be called «severe». The main ingredient is ginger, chili,
coriander, the kaffira leaves, lemon sorghum, coconut milk, and many
others. Their aromatic variations give unique taste to seemingly ordinary products.
Another feature of Thai cuisine is a lack of single recipes. Every cooker
determines the composition of products byhos own will.
The proposed entertainment will help visitors to learn more about the national Thai
flavor. For example, a trip to Safari Park will take you to the world of
untouched nature with lions, tigers, giraffes and zebra. A walk to the elephant
that wades through the jungle can leave unforgettable impressions. You can
visit the snake farm and see the show with the cobra, go to the training
center monkeys or the crocodile farm where you can not only admire the
giant reptiles, but also try high-quality products.
Do not miss
the opportunity to try the famous Thai massage. Its feature is the a
wonderful healing effect on energy array of the human body. The next must-see
is the transvestites show, staged in the style of national cabaret and modern
songs and dances, curious production and bright costumes.
Thailand is a perfect place for purchasing gifts. Prices are quite available,
and the proposed goods have good quality. This is true for well-known companies'
boutiques and local products. Tourists mostly buy jewelry and precious stones
like especially appreciated rubies and sapphires. Leather goods may be
bought at the crocodile farm or at major shopping centers that are also
worth of high praise. Here it is great assortment of silk products:
blouses, shirts, dresses, kimonos. The good gifts are also woodcarvings,
pottery, tin, copper, bronze which are also popular as well as Thai silver
that is a tribute to the ancient crafts.
Visiting this hospitable country, you should respect traditions and
customs. You cannot touch the Thais head, even a child. A woman can not
touch the monk and take his things. Before entering the temple or house of
locals you should take off your shoes. Women must cover their shoulders, knees
and heels when they visit temple. You cannot be unrespectable to statues
of Buddha and the depiction of King.
