Southern Thailand islands also known as "Paradise" Islands are among the most popular destinations in the world. More than 12000000 tourists visited Thailand in 2005, and most of them had the Bangkok International Airport immediately after their arrival to the left and went straight to the southern islands. Some of the visitors were from the stories of people who are fascinated by the charm captured the unforgettable atmosphere of the islands, some of them,by images they saw on the Internet, while others were convinced fits in the words of her travel agent that the Thai Islands were indeed the ultimate destination for tourists, every taste, age, budget and personality. This can partly explain the massive influx of honeymooners, backpackers, families on holiday, party-goers, divers and many others on the Thai islands each year.
However, the inexperienced traveler Thailand may be unconscious, that is not a satisfying vacation acinch, even in a place called Paradise nick Iceland. To be successful, fun and fulfillment, your holiday must be thoroughly planned. Unknown targets often hide little unknown secrets that hold enormous potential to make the desired positive change in your vacation.
In this article are the biggest mistakes you can before and during your visit to the Thai islands. The compliance or disregard of the five following amendments are literally the difference between success or failure of yourHoliday in southern Thailand islands.
1st Error 1: Select your holiday island spontaneously. Web images of tropical islands often make them look almost identical. The inexperienced traveler is probably that no matter where you go in Southern Thailand Islands - you'll find in the same picturesque beach with white sand, turquoise water and a coconut tree. Falling into the illusion that the selection of images, the holiday island of pure impulsenot a very disappointing experience at the final destination of the island to your needs, your personality or expectations at all. To avoid this error, define your settings before hand to make to its own development department before the election, your goal by gathering relevant information about travel guide in addition to using the Internet. As the island that meets your needs, will have mainly to the following points:
a. The height of the tourist development. Some travelers how their islands are loaded with tourist facilities (such as Phuket, Koh Samui), while others prefer the classic touch "old school" isolated touch (ie, Koh Phangan, Khao Lak).
b. Nightlife - Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi, to a lesser extent offer a lively nightlife, while Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao calm and sleepy.
c. Dive Sites - Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao offer the best diving spots in southern Thailand.
d. The predominant level of accommodation.> Phuket and Koh Phi Phi offer an immense variety of luxury hotels, while Koh Phangan and Koh Tao most basic package (no need for a low standard) accommodation.
2nd place Mistake 2: Assuming that is a great vacation at a very low budget. Some travelers often erroneously assumed that Thailand is a country with economic development all have a high hospitalization in ridiculously low prices. This is true in part because the local tourismIndustry proposes a low-cost travel options for backpackers. However, that is the pampered tourists used to enjoy luxury accommodation Westernized see the hard way, about his travels, the costs are reasonable expectations of what is offered to the presidency. To avoid this error and eliminate significant deviations from the planned budget - make your research on price differences experienced in southern Thailand islands. For example, you should know that staying in someIslands (eg, Ko Phi Phi) is expected to be more expensive during the stay can be in other islands (eg, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao) is significantly cheaper. To avoid disappointment in connection with any of the expenses, I recommend that the following guidelines:
a. Avoid planning a budget on the basis of other estimates, especially if that person has previously visited the Thai island for many years on holiday spent in a different island than you have chosen, much younger than yourself orpreferred a different living standard.
b. Make an informed decision regarding the desired level of accommodation. The basic accommodation that includes a clean air-conditioned rooms and bath in the western style can be booked at a relatively low, if not ridiculous price. In contrast, a luxury accommodation (the type of accommodation is quite common in Phuket and Koh Samui) is almost as expensive as the hotels in your neighboring country.
c. Although the control roomPrices is possible over the Internet - the prices of meals should also be carefully examined. Do not assume that no matter where you eat - the food is cheap. On my first visit to Thailand, I was very surprised to receive an examination of the same value as in my homeland. Now I know that the Southern Thailand Islands offer a variety of restaurants in western style with western-style prices. Therefore, before using a well-designed restaurant - check the menu, and make it clear, householdEstimate.
Mistake # 3 3: Choose your holiday beach spontaneously. This is comparable with error number one - but probably easier to fix, consider the fact that other beaches on the target server is logistically simpler and cheaper than the control of other islands. However, the "wrong" choice is the beach you feel that you have not used the full potential of your vacation, or you have wasted substantial part of it. For example, on my first visit in Koh Phangan I foundtwo days before the end of my vacation, that is my "perfect" beach on the other side of the island. The following tips can help you avoid a similar situation:
a. The most developed and crowdie beaches on most islands are in the vicinity of the airport (in case there is an airport) in your island, or one of the major seaports.
b. If you prefer the above beaches - aware of the fact that some of them, especially in Koh Samui and Phuket,are not family friendly.
c. The old school quiet and picturesque beaches are always on the other side of the island. If the "old school" beach, which does not give up looking for you - even if the way to Thailand was long and tiring, and try to make a small effort to make the island on the way to the other side dependent, it will worthwhile for you.
4.Fault 4: insistence on Western food. Some of us tend to be about experimenting with a foreign concernFood. The Thai tourism industry is aware of this fact, hence the supply of Western-style restaurants in southern Thailand's islands is huge. Having said that, in order to limit these restaurants could be a big mistake, because the prices for western food are much higher than those in authentic restaurants, and even worse: you do not miss one of the most important experiences of Thai culture - superior Thai cuisine, probably one of the best in the world. Toavoid this error, do not hesitate to enter the small restaurants with ridiculously neglected interiors, plastic cards and un-plastered walls. This restaurant owners "are probably the worst marketers to think - but are usually cooks. Your meal in one of these restaurants will often be incredibly cheap, tasty and prepared especially of fresh sizzling ingredients. They are raving about the food long after the island have left.
5th error 5: Take your business large suitcaseon an island that was accessible only by sea. A big suitcase is a fine choice [in Europe]: have used, you can everything you need, it can be easily implemented by small wheels, and then you are very representative. However, under a large suitcase to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao is not something I would recommend. The platforms in the pillars are extremely narrow and occasionally unstable. So if you are really lucky - the big suitcase will be safe. If you are aa little less lucky - he may fall into the water. If you ran out of luck - you can fall into the water along with your suitcase. I am seriously considering a baking bag would be the best choice. Just for the record, the huge trunk, was taken by yours truly on their first trip to Koh Phangan, was somewhere in the jungle left to the local monkey to frighten.
So the next time the idea of the position of the islands of Thailand crosses your mind, as tempting as it may be, try not to succumb to rumors andfascinating images. A thorough research and planning in advance can take some time and effort on your part, but it is more than worthwhile.
