When you visit Thailand, you'll be very happy to see some Thai temples. And you should be happy because they are freaking awesome. Wats of Bangkok to the crumbling ruins of Sukhothai, there are plenty of temple in Thailand to satisfy even the hungriest of addicts temple.
It might surprise you, however, to know that you can actually get a little overwhelmed by all the temples on offer, bringing you the suffering of travelers to the disease should be "templed out". Symptoms include lack of enthusiasm for visiting the temples, uttering phrases such as "all these temples resemble" or "Not as good as Angkor Wat," the end result is that you prefer to stay in a hotel with a book instead of venturing.
If these symptoms are resolved, do not be afraid, I have a whole post on how to keep alive the fear that you can read here.
Fortunately, being templed out was not a problem for us in Thailand, despite having spent days exploring places such as Sukhothai and Ayutthaya. Everywhere we visited was so interesting and different, incomparable and unique.
Phanom Rung was an exception - a temple which is perched on an extinct volcano Road in the eastern part of Thailand, away from the usual north-south road, and a wonderful place for a couple of hours exploration.
Some brief history
I'm not the type to open up the story, but I thought a quick bit of background do you no harm. Phanom Rung was of the Khmer Empire (the same guys who built Angkor Wat), built between the 10th and 13 Century, which makes parts more than Angkor. It is one of five Khmer temple, which can be found in Thailand.
Phnom Rung is a Hindu temple built in dedication to Shiva, and symbolizes Mount Kailash, his heavenly abode. These days it is open to the public in the Phanom Rung Historical Park was also assessed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a title I think, quite worthy.
I suspect this is probably history. Let us go to see what this place is like to explore is ...

Chokchai Farm is located near the north side of Khao Yai National Park. Chokchai Farm allows visitors to learn more about the firm, is the process of breeding and milk production. A visit to the Chokchai Farm is fun for everyone and has some educational value as well. Who has never seen a dairy should definitely visit this place and go around. It is very well organized, which probably explains the Chokchai Farm received awards for being one of the best tourist attractions. In the park, there are the usual souvenir shops, but also a few restaurants Farm Chokchai Steakhouse them.
The main attraction at Farm Chokchai is a tour around the farm. This begins with a video that explains the history of the farm. It 'really interesting to see how the company has grown and changed from a meat production of a dairy farm. Next is a stop at some of the old farm machinery and milking station. Explains how cows are milked and what is the level of production of these cows.
Once you learn how to take milk from cows in factory a stop will be made at the ice cream factory.
Of course, they all get a taste of their Hummm! ice cream. Then comes the turn of the farm. The area you come to is huge but I guess the areas that we see there is much more. If you visit the park, at the right time, you might be able to see a large field of sunflowers. With the mountains of Khao Yai backdrop, offer a great photo opportunity. I'm not sure what the best time to see the sunflowers, but you can ask directly Chokchai Farm.
After a tour around the farm, you reach the next stop. This is an area where you will find a rodeo and other activities. You can choose what you like to do. Take the time to visit this area is clearly indicated by the well-trained guides. Besides the show, you can drive on ATV, how grows dragon fruit or take a ride.
From this station, many more events and attractions are visited before returning to the entrance. Once you come back here a stop at the gift shop allows you to take some unique souvenirs Farm Chokchai with you again. Others would have been hungry. Various restaurants offer burgers and steaks
The Similan Islands are diamonds crystal clear Andaman Sea ... You do not even need to be a good photographer for atmospheric photographs. Ideally, you should go for a two-day trip to do the best ... is far away and can be exhausting to get to by boat, the more it has the best beach almost for tomorrow morning. Better
to choose one of these tours that will take you around for snorkeling,
then you put on the island's main restaurant and accommodation are
available. I would not go for the cheapest, unless you are on a strict budget, you do not want to travel like a sardine in a can. Of
course, if you are a diver, you have dozens of dive centers offer this
as an excursion destination of Khao Lak Phuket or even as a cruise ship.Similan consists of nine islands, but you will have time to visit only two or three. The first is well-known for his landmark: some giant boulders stacked on a hill overlooking a beautiful white sandy beach. You arrive in the morning and you will have a little 'time to explore, maybe one hour ... Climbing the rocks is not too difficult, they were added to the steps and stairs. This will give you a beautiful view of the bay. Seeing the shadow of the boats that float above the white sand will give you an idea of how clean water can be. In any case, there is much more to see the rock and the beach.
You will probably get a second stop near another island where you can enjoy a little 'of snorkeling. The water is warm and clear ... how to fly over the incredible coral formations and thousands of colorful fish ... if you start feeding them bread, you will be surrounded by a pyroclastic flow in a minute. If you want a good laugh to feed them bananas, love it. It 's very common to see sea turtles swimming around the boat, I think I know how to get a free meal.The last stop is the island number 4 where you can choose to spend the night in a tent or in a cabin with air conditioning ... I do not know about you, but I chose the bungalow, without hesitation, it is not so expensive. Nothing
extraordinary, but you get your own shower (cold water) and toilet, a
balcony with a possible view of the sea and the luxury of fresh air in
the hottest time of year in March and April. I can not imagine what kind of sauna tent would be. Please note that you must book in advance for tents and bungalows, it would be unwise not to. The last time I went, it was 570 baht for a tent and a bungalow for 2000 plus tax of course.
A thatched restaurant serves lunch and dinner base, water and soft drinks. You do not know if the beer is still for sale because they were talking about banning alcohol in all national parks. So, to this day, I do not even know if you are allowed to bring your own.This island has two connected by a path through a forest of light ranges. The
beach in front of the restaurant is large and incredibly white, well
shaded for a long time and the water here is too painfully clear and
blue. Do not forget sunglasses and sunscreen. The water is very warm and the fish are once again all over the world. The other beach is rocky, but since you have a lot of time, it is fun to explore, to go to every corner of the island.One
of the highlights of the residence time Similan Island is a giant
snake, maybe 3 meters long, with a nap in the bottom of the stairs
leading to the bungalow ... Considered a python. So we had a choice between sleeping on the beach or play our best jump. We chose the latter, but I could not resist to go back and get a shot close-up. The lady at the restaurant told us that it was very unusual ... although, given the size of the small island, I wonder how unusual.
Patong Beach is located in the heart of Phuket, making it a popular choice for some, often what people were complaining about. It's big, it's bold, hard, bright and loud, but people flock like flies to honey. If Bangkok is the Big Mango, then Patong Big Durian: you love it or hate it ...
The initial success and popularity of Patong Beach is all about two things: its superb beaches and nightlife are all included. The rest? Shops, restaurants and foot massage is just the icing on the cake. Just Soi Bangla go out at night, and you will understand all there: the people, couples and families with children. For most, this is the party area, for others it is a curiosity to see and talk about once a home. Especially
in the part of the crowd looks very feminine and sexy ladyboys dancing
on the street in a very small place on the stage, and you get the
picture, literally. And do not forget to close your mouth.
Patong BeachThe beach is a 2 or 3 kilometers in length and is often crowded in the middle. Remember that you can park your car anywhere in there, even the bike is the problem. In the northern part of the beach, near the Novotel Phuket is much more pleasant and less densely populated. Less people, easy parking, plenty of local food stalls, to have fun and get really blue water in this part.
Water
in the southern part of the bridge, is not always very clear, but under
a bridge photo of an old fishing village is amazing. Wherever you can use a couple of chairs with an umbrella for rent 200 baht, try parasailing, or be killed by a jet ski rental.

One day I met an old woman from New Zealand 60 years old, who unwittingly come to Pattaya in search of underwater adventure. She was so shocked by what he found on the street is that she refused to leave his hotel room after dark.It is not surprising that Western men come to Pattaya by thousands. More than one male visitor, compared with paradise on earth. In fact, there is some truth to this idea, but it is still in Pattaya than sex. In fact, some very beautiful girls live.Most visitors to this part of Thailand use the term "Pattaya Girls" interchangeably with the term "bar girls." In
case you are not familiar with Thailand, a bar girl girl working in a
bar for drinks, hosts, dancing and socializing with clients.These bar girls Pattaya gets its reputation, but as incredible as it may seem that many visitors, there are other girls here. In
fact, there are many beautiful girls in Pattaya, which remain from the
bars, have never been in a bar and never in his wildest even consider
working in a bar dreams.These "good" girls are not as hard to find in Pattaya. They are everywhere, in fact. There are girls in Pattaya working in banks, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and all kinds of regular jobs. There are even Pattaya girls working as doctors and lawyers. If you only have a bit of personality, you can meet and actually have a relationship with one of them. In fact, they will do everything that the bar girls do, but just do not do it around the world.So, how to meet a girl in Pattaya You? If you plan to be in town for a long period of time, it would not hurt to take a few lessons in Thai language. There
are many language schools in Pattaya offers basic "survival" Thai where
you learn the basic skills of language, such as numbers, where, when
and how the dictionary that can make life much more pleasant in
Thailand. Thai girls are very appreciative that you have made the effort to speak their language.If you plan to be in town for a short time, you should check out some of the social networking sites that help meet Thai girls. Facebook and MySpace have the network configuration for the people in Thailand. HubPages is another site that has a community of people living in Thailand. Log in to some of these people to travel. Start networking early.In addition, there are dating sites that many people do not want to use. You may not like the idea of meeting with his Thai girlfriend on the Internet, but in fact quite common in Thailand. In some places, women have to pay to be listed and the kids pay for an introduction. Other sites for free.Finally,
there is no substitute for simply let your personality shine through
and makes for a beautiful lady Pattaya and start a conversation. Pattaya Beautiful girls are not shy or rude and very susceptible to meet Western men.You have to go slow, however. Just be respectful and take your time. The most respectable Thai girls want to make a young member of the family as a companion, as a sister or niece. After a few dates rifle, if you are lucky enough to take home to meet mom and dad. If all goes well with the parents, you are in
It was my first drink with my choice of two yellow - corn chips and cream of coconut, but my favorite is the second combo -. Sticky rice and peanut ♥
We tried ice cream for the first time yesterday, and it was two cups at a time. There could be more though. Was it not for my mother and me, which left me I. Too good, and a must when traveling to Bangkok!
They say that Bangkok has something for everyone, and it is never more evident than in a shopping trip. The
city has shops to suit all budgets - from the bargain stalls JJ Market
(Chatuchak aka), the elegant shopping district of Thong Lo.
Sure, there are the air-conditioned malls that populate Ratchaprasong and Siam Paragon and Central World. They
are full of western designer shops (complete with western design
inflated prices, something for Thailand luxury import tax), but want
something a little more local?
The
Thong is an area famous for its unique and local shops that are
frequented by Bangkok's high society, both Thais and expatriates. Walking
a few blocks from the main street of Thong Lo, it is possible to
provide enough business for the whole house and find closet.
So, here's my favorite thong trip thing.
Start
with the Park Thonglor Tower, a kind of high-end department stores
chocked full of design and home furnishings imported, Armani Casa,
Fendi, Ralph Lauren, furniture.
Continue
north along Thong Lo, until the illumination of the house, a place full
of bright chandeliers weight, the price is beaten nearly as hard.
Cross the street and walk south until you reach a shop called Metta. Metta is a clothing store for women, where clothes are soft and thick lines, luxurious fabrics, all in a variety of colors. Perfect for any place in the world, not only the heat of Thai society.
Continuing
in the same direction, you will come across a business with a very
unique concept - Scarlett dress and serve delicious sugary treats
dessert in addition to their "beautiful dresses. Clients can sit and
enjoy your dessert, but also look at the clothes around the shop screen.
Not far from Scarlett is a very nice boutique hotel full of wonders gas called lifestyle. This three-level store is full of all kinds of high-end items that do not necessarily need but definitely want. These are the kinds of things that add an extra wow factor to your favorite room.
Exhausted from all your shopping? Take a break and have a cappuccino in the newly opened elegant Ducati Cafe, just opposite the Ducati Store. If you're hungry, you can choose from a good selection of meats, pastas, burgers, salads and sandwiches.
And then, when you upgrade again to explore the rest of Thong Lo. Venture
through the small side streets (are called) and discovering hidden
secrets and great finds to show their friends back home. It is a complete shopping experience. You can think of it, take regular breaks to be very stressful as shopping in this heat!
How to get there:It is very easy to take a cab Thong Lo. Easy to get to, and tell the driver Thong Lo (pronounced Tong Law). It should be along the main street and turn called Sukhumvit Soi Sukhumvit 55 (Thong Lo aka street). It's
a good idea to take about two or three minutes on the road before
getting up and starting your walk, because not many shops of interest in
the beginning of the road.
For two and a half years we have lived here in Thailand, we have over 40 different visitors. And, of course, we love to family and friends in our new home. Of course, we reached the tourist attractions like the Night Bazaar and the market day Warorot stay at some of the famous temples and an elephant through the jungle. But my favorite on Chiang Mai things are not necessarily the ones you find in the Lonely Planet.
What I like in Chiang Mai, it is both exotic and cosmopolitan between elephants and bamboo raft, you can enjoy a cappuccino and nibbling macaroons world class, after zipping around in a tuk -tuk and craft shops, you can say, live a fabulous cocktail or a variety of fresh fruit, and when completed a Thai massage and a half ($ 8), you can choose between a dinner at home, food Street served by an old woman hit bags otkorzina the upper crust of the Thai curries and fresh fish a few good restaurants on the river, Burmese delights at the Sunday market, Korean barbecue, the freshest sushi you've ever tried, the french ... Italian ... Mexican ... You name it. Just need to know where to go.
Favorite thing to do when friends come to my city, is to share with them some of the hidden is off the beaten track treasures. If you come to visit, here are five of my favorite things to show annual
The dish that comes from northern Thailand, papaya salad is not faint of heart. This is the Thai version of Marmite, you either love or hate. This is due to the incredible heat that is used to create this dish chili in the mountains, it is cooked with tomatoes, garlic and a little soy sauce. Believe me, if I even Thai sweat when they eat they have to say, I recommend you try it if you want, you can take the heat, but make sure you have a bottle of water or seven of places to try to cool the mouth think!
This is one of the most popular dishes in Thailand, as it is available worldwide for its aroma and flavor. It is made from lemon grass, chili, lemon, mushrooms and shrimp, but it's so spicy prepare just for this haha and "usually eaten with rice, but it can be done well with pasta, a popular Thai dish and something that you at least once should try. taste is typical Thai, and something that always remind you of your time in the Land of Smiles.
Klong are the channels that supply the city with water toning, forked from the main street of the city, used - the Chao Phraya River. Today, people do not drink the water if they are paid, but it is always an exciting life that exists along the banks of Klong. "From the floating markets, old houses on stilts, there are so many things to discover and give a glimpse into this ancient way of life!
How much and how to get to Klong?
Usually in Klong tour can from the pier "Surasak" along the Chao Phraya River. It is a convenient stop on the Skytrain as well, which makes it very easy to reach. Normally, you are going to rent the boat throughout the day (about 1000 THB or $ 35 USD), and does not pay a fee for each person. So if you find someone to go with, of course, the price per person is significantly reduced.
