White Sands Beach on Ko Chang Ko Chang is Thailand's second largest island, and the biggest in Eastern Thailand. With about 5,000 permanent residents the island is not heavily populated, but tourism (and development) has increased dramatically over the last few years. Ko Chang is one of Thailand's most beautiful islands with long white sandy beaches, most half deserted. The island is also home to a wide range of wildlife, including a good selection of birds, snakes, deer, and a number of elephants. The island and its vicinity are great places for snorkeling, diving and jungle hiking. The "discovery" of the island as a tourist destination since 2000 has brought on a large amount of rapid development, and while still far quieter than places like Phuket or Ko Samui, it's probably better to go now than later. Regarding services and activities specifically aimed at tourists prices have reached such a level that the islanders are pricing themselve...

  Ko Samui, once known as an affordable destination and a backpacker's paradise, is the second largest island in Thailand.  It sits on the opposite side of the mainland from its bigger brother, Phuket.  For so long the backpacker's domain, this island has been rapidly moving upmarket over the past decade and most of the development appears to be in the upper sectors of the market. You can reach Ko Samui on Bangkok Airways and a return flight will cost you the best part of 8,000 baht for a flight that is a little under an hour.  There are several flights between Bangkok and Samui every day.  You can reach the island overland by travelling by Bangkok to Surat Thani by road and then taking a boat across.  This could take many, many hours and unless money is tight, I would fly.  Khao San Road travel agents offer deals from Khao San Road to Samui direct.  I am not sure what the latest prices are, but I should imagine it would be...

It was the beautiful island of Phuket that first lured me to the Kingdom Of Thailand.  A friend had visited Thailand the previous Christmas and raved about how great it was, especially Phuket.  We had been friends for a long time and he knew the sort of things I liked and said that Phuket would be the ideal holiday destination for me.  At that time in my life, I used to love just sitting around in the sun all day doing little to nothing.  When I finally made it to the paradise island, I fell in love with Phuket which holds a special place in my heart.  In fact when I first moved to Thailand my plan was to go to Phuket and secure a job teaching English down there but for whatever reason, it never happened and I ended up in Bangkok.   Phuket is one of the world's premier beach holiday destinations and ranks alongside the French Riviera, the Mediterranean and Hawaii as places where people will happily endure up to 24 hours dis...

Patpong Bangkok Patpong is a main nightlife attraction in Bangkok for tourists. The area is the street that connects Silom Road and Surawong Road. Along the street are shops, go-go bars and clubs. Patpong is famous for sex shows and a tourist-centric night market. A busy night market aimed at tourists is also located in Patpong. The street stalls alongside the road offer just about everything you want – a good place to pick up gifts for people back home. How to get there: The nearest BTS Station is Saladaeng and the nearest MRT station is Silom. From both Saladaeng and Silom you need to walk down Silom Road away from Lumpini Park. When you see a McDonald’s on your left, Patpong is on your right. thanks,www.discoverythailand.com/

Rituals are carried ou...

Source: DiscoveryThailand Staff Given its rich diversity Thailand has a lot to offer its visitors. Of course, Bangkok is one place most start and end their visit to Thailand. The cultural and administrative centre of the country, Bangkok has plenty to offer. Of course, a big, brash, modern city like Bangkok has the creature comforts and entertainment that visitors look for and it's famous for its famous nightlife (with go-go places like Patpong and Nana on most visitors' itineraries). But beyond that, where should a visitor go in Thailand? Although there are numerous places that warrant a visit, there are some 'staples' - places that most visitors to Thailand end up visiting. Starting in the north, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are popular ports of call. ...
