Backpacking Southeast Asia - Thailand Itinerary Ideas

If we consider a backpack trip to Thailand? Here are some ideas for your itinerary.

One week: if you only have a week in Thailand, you must sacrifice what you see can be done. The most common way would be to spend a few days in Bangkok, check out the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and familiarity with Thai culture. The rest of the trip could provide one of several sites on the beach bar in Thailand should be spent.

Take a cheap flight toEither Phuket or Ko Samui to relax on the beach for a few days. From Ko Samui you could spend a few days at Ko Pha Ngan if you wanted to attend the full moon party (book accommodation well in advance if you are trying to go to the full moon party). From Phuket, you could spend a few days on the beautiful island of Ko Phi Phi, relaxing on the beach or going snorkeling.

Two weeks: With two weeks in Thailand, you will be able to the vast majority of what Thailand has to offer. Again your Trip probably start most of Bangkok.

If you want to take to the circuit to the beach, take a bus or a flight to Phuket. Spend a day at first Phuket to Ko Phi Phi. Ko Phi Phi, a ferry to the Krabi region of spend and spend some climbing and snorkeling. From Krabi bus to Surat Thani to the ferry to head Ngan Ko Samui and Ko Pha, before returning close to Bangkok to stay.

Another option is to visit the North of ThailandBut for some time on the beach. Bangkok again before the train to Chiang Mai. While in Chiang Mai, visit the local indigenous people in the mountains, going around an elephant, go bamboo rafting, take Thai cooking classes, and visit the Sunday market. From Chiang Mai you can choose to visit Ko Pha Ngan and Ko Samui or Phuket, Ko Phi Phi and Krabi. The easiest way is to take a cheap flight from Chiang Mai to Phuket or Ko Samui is.

A month with one monthThailand you can visit almost every corner of the country. Along with all the destinations previously mentioned, you can also visit the white sand beaches of Ko Samet and Ko Chang. To the East of Bangkok, these destinations are much quieter than the beach destinations in Southern Thailand. Ko Chang is a good place to visit if you are into scuba diving.

Another destination that is possible to visit is Ko Tao. A short ferry ride from Ko Pha Ngan, this sleepy island also has some Excellent diving can, and a relaxing respite from the madness of the Full Moon Party is.

Sorry to Bangkok 's central location and the fact that Thailand is the hub, it must go back if you want the country to all corners. If you are willing to discount flights to some, it may be useful if the target to eliminate the backtracking along.

Hanging Around in Thailand

Our trip to Thailand had been long awaited, originally planned for the winter of 94/95. My wife Karin had bought the maps and books and even packed; we were off. The balloon was ready at Thunder and Colt with a heavy duty basket tailor made for hard use overseas. And then they went bust. The delay meant that we missed the relatively short window available for flying in Thailand. So it was rainy old England for most of the winter and a rethink of the plan for us. I had been asked to go out there by Jon Nunns having previously worked for him in South Africa flying passenger ride balloons.

Jon's interest in Thailand comes from several commercial tours he's probably had the most experience of flying in Thailand. Sky balloons agent in Thailand managed to sell one of the first balloons to roll off the production line to a pair of business men who wanted to learn to fly and fly advertising banners in I come again, this time to train and point them the right way.

So after a Passengers fantastic summer in England, was on a Quantas Jumbo from a snowy December Heathrow. We took a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, a northern city, has hosted the Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games), our first stop. Jon, returning from SAGA, was there for three days to ease us into things.

Our guests were able to find a sponsor is a company cell phone and we had a whole day before. The city was bustling with activity, isto the games and it was great fun to be there. We generally flew across the city in the mornings and over the main stadium in the evenings.

The stadium itself was about 10km from the centre of the city and lay under an east facing slope which of course moved into shade in the evening allowing us to fly over the stadium and away into open countryside, the mornings had the ability to take us up the slope and away to the west which was not a good idea as there was about 50km of forest and national park before the next road.

It was always fairly calm and finding places to land was not a problem. We were not alone in the air a Carlsburg balloon had been shipped in from Europe and a Cameron Gas airship from America. Strangely neither thought to visit or call the international airport 8km south of the stadium. This caused some amount of trouble as Thai's love complicated permissions to fly and neither had any. As we did have permission we were contactable and received some amount of flack from their CAA. We smoothed the path quite well for them, prison was mentioned on more than one occasion!

The airship did a fantastic job seemingly never out of the air and carrying a TV camera beaming live pictures from the stadium. During the evening we tethered next to the stadium and the airship still plodded around dropping leaflets.

Thai's are football fanatics and the Asian cup was also held during the games in the evening. Our tethers coincided with all the home team games. As Thailand progressed through the ranks tickets sold out and it started to get ugly at the gates. For the semi final the fans burnt down the ticket tents in protest and several thousand extra tried to get in causing an outbreak of police brutality.

We tethered high allowing us to see the matches and carried PR people, they tended to want to stay up a while as we had the best view in the house!

On the first and last day of the games we flew into the stadium itself, the first flight by Jon, with me on board and the last by myself. What a fantastic feeling when you drop over the edge of the stadium roof and come to a dead stop amid all that noise and then pile out again, really good fun, it comes highly recommended!

The flights over the city were also commendable. The airport required us to stay below 1000' and if we required to fly higher then we had to call them on VHF. It worked well and of course flying across temples at low level was fascinating. Chaing Mai old city lies within a square canel and contains some 300 temples in total. It was here that we aimed to overfly every day. The River Ping winds it's way to the east of the old city and was very handy for big direction changes. As a rule most wind directions could be found and staying over the city centre for an hour or so and then climbing and departing was fairly easy.

I have to say that Northern Thai's seemed more fun loving than their Southern countrymen. To this end they enjoy letting off fireworks and tissue balloons carrying balls of burning rag to keep them aloft. Not uncommon to see 10 or so cross the night sky glowing red when drinking a beer. They climb quite high as well I flew with some at 3000'. On a couple of occasions, on landing villagers let off tissue balloons in our honour. They also flew bigger ones with strings of fireworks blasting away underneath. All good stuff for balloonists to watch. The last night of the games saw the launch of in excess of 1000 of these balloons in about 10 minutes from all around the stadium, and as it was a calm night it was the prettiest balloon thing I've ever seen.

So once that was all over it was off to Bangkok eight hours South by road. Unbeknown to myself we had come to the notice of the Prime Ministers office and were sought out for a job!

The deputy Prime Minister, Thakasin Shinawat, had said on coming into office early in 1995, that by the middle of January 1996 (or 2539 as it is over there) he would sort out Bangkoks traffic problems. He has been pouring millions of Baht of his own money into what is basically an impossible task. He has also been doing all sorts of stunts to show the people that he is trying to remedy the situation.

We were asked to fly him over Bangkok to observe the traffic from the air, this being in their words, a low cost solution. Permissions obviously had to be sought. We were summoned for our first meeting with the CAA on Christmas Day, at 10 O'clock, everybody apparently finding it amusing that I was missing my Christmas day. On arriving it transpired that they didn't really want us to fly as it is a military state and they didn't want me to see anything I shouldn't. The Kings Palace is a no no to fly over as you should never have your head higher than his! However the civilian run Prime ministers office had put big pressure on and they felt they had to relent and by the way, what could we tell them about the other balloon and airship in Chaing Mai ( are you getting the picture that this is a warning). It transpired that we held the winning hand but they really had to tell us they did not like it first. There one and only request was that I didn't fly higher than 500'. Now what! a pleasure. Royal helicopters fly at 800' so that was that. I walked away on Christmas days with a piece of paper that ordered me to fly not above 500 AGL wherever I liked! A trip then to the tower at Bangkok International to let them know what was happening and pick up an air chart. They already knew all about us and wouldn't give me an air chart: military secrets and all that. If I'd known I could have brought them in England before we left!

Thus it came to pass that I was doing balloon traffic reports over the city of Bangkok with the deputy Prime Minister on board and a film crew and five TV crews following through the traffic. We flew two days doing four flights. The flights themselves were pretty exciting to the point that I wouldn't rush to do them again. The tallest building is getting on for 1000' and we flew right between a bunch of them of course stopping all the traffic as we went. For those that know we launched from just above Siam Square and flew across generally towards the Queen Siriket Convention centre and then over the river. The 500' level became a real pain in the afternoons as the OAT was some 37C and thermals were popping off all over the place I may or may not actually flown quite a bit higher at the beginning of these flights and came down when it cooled down, but perhaps I'd set the altimeter incorrectly!

So after all the fun and games it was off to train three people in total: our agent and the two business men. To start with we went off to Rayong a Province to the SE of Bangkok renowned for it's beach resort Pattaya. The guys for some reason where keen to train there. Unfortunately, it proved too coastal and the sea breeze at night knocked down and the breeze of the morning. Our only allowed for a 25 km square, so that we could not go further inland.

No problem, because one of the boys had relatives with a farm near Kanchanaburi, home of the Bridge on the River Kwai, west of the country. E 'was here that the bulk of the training was completed. It 'was an ideal area for ballooning, generally flat with occasional 500-600 metershills popping up like islands. The fields are mainly of Sugar Cane roughly three quarters and the rest are rice paddies. Everything went fine and after three return trips to Bangkok on business the guys where ready. They will be travelling to England to take their PPL's shortly.

One more surprise lay in store. Seeing as the flying into the stadium in Chaing Mai had gone so well I was asked to fly into another with a football to start The Thai football league. Not such a big deal but the stadium as 500 metres from the sea with houses all the way to it. Luck was on our side once more and after two days of strong monsoon winds on the day in question it was calm. We inflated behind a five story building which was right next to the stadium and bang on for the wind direction. The signal for us to launch was a series of fireworks the ninth being our go. At the practices which we couldn't fly into because of the wind we made sure that the marching bands had left and we had a clear stage. You know whats coming next.1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Go, we rose from behind the building to see that everybody was still stood there,down between them all I came our official hopped out with the football and handed it to the President of Yamaha and we quickly deflated the balloon,! no way was I going to fly out of that one!

So thats briefly it, I haven't touched on the really infuriating stuff, the stuff thats supposed to add character afterwards. I'll let you find out all those bits for yourselves.

Even if tourism has really grown during the recent years, Thailand still offers some pretty much unspoiled territories, precious beaches and an amazing cultural shock that you will probably prefer to miss your plane back home rather than coming back to your everyday's life. But to travel cheap to Thailand you really need to find out the right places or you will be abused as most tourists are.

From there, with flights included and 14 nights in hotels in Thailand, you will get it for the price of 585 UK Pounds (813 Euros) I could kill myself for promoting offers like this for free, as I have no relationship with any travel agency at all, but certainly I am convinced that everybody should have the goal to help people, so here we are.

The Capital of Thailand - Bangkok

Thailand attracts many visitors from all over the world. Most countries in Southeast Asia can say that. The combination of beautiful nature, hospitality of the local people, the inspiring temples are a magnet for tourists from all over the world.

Whether you want to be on the beach under palm trees and enjoy the sunset view or enjoy the exotic nature and finish with a visit to the ancient Buddhist temples, Thailand is the place, where you can do it all. The best finish of the day is to go to a stormy party on the beach. The perfect time to Thailand is between October and February, when it is not raining so much, in the period between March and June there is not much rain but it is much warmer.

Thailand is located in the heart of Southeast Asia. It is divided into four natural regions: the mountain and the forests to the north; vast rice fields in the central part and fertile lands in the northeast; the tropical islands and extensive coastline are on the southern peninsula. The country includes seventy-six provinces. The capital Bangkok is the residence of the Thai royal family. The head of the state is Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX. He is the longest-ruling king, for more than a century.

In order to visit all the famous places in Bangkok, you will need at least one week. There are very good and cheap hotels in the capital.

Bangkok is a culinary paradise. Here you can taste the traditional cuisine of many countries around the world while being in only one restaurant. Usually these places are opened all the time-day and night.

Transport in Thailand is very well organized and it will make your vacation there more convenient. The different islands and cities are connected to each other and visitors can move easily from one point to another. It is better to book a ticket in advance to avoid the rush in the last minute. As you arrive at the airport, it will be more convenient to catch a taxi to the hotel where you are staying in Bangkok. There is also a bus line but the buses are not air conditioned and your journey will not be very pleasant.

There is no way to go to Bangkok without visiting the ancient temples of the Golden Buddha and the Marble Temple. Do not miss to walk around the town floating with a boat on the Chao Phraya River. There is a wonderful view of shabby huts next to ultra-modern skyscrapers and majestic temples. You should also visit the floating market, located about 100 km away from Bangkok. The market is put on a wooden platform, submerged in the water.

That's the way Bangkok looks. If you come once, you leave a part of yourself here and you want to come back and experience again all the moments that you have spent in the "City of Angels".

Thailand Travel Tips

Thailand has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. The Southeast-Asian country has gone through 3 prime ministers in the last 12 months, faced an influx of refugees from Bangladesh and Myanmar and endured a week-long airport closure due to anti-government protesters. It sounds like to last place on earth where people should spend their holidays. However, Thailand is really a great escape, especially now in the winter season.

Not long ago, Bangkok's international airport was closed and all flights in and out of Thailand cancelled for over a week. Several hundred thousand tourists were stranded without any flights taking them where they needed to be. As a result, many tourists that were about to leave to Thailand cancelled their flights and went elsewhere. This has lead to hotels in Thailand reporting very low occupancy rates and flights into Thailand are half empty as well. This slump in demand has been reinforced by the global economic downturn and the trend towards short-haul holidays.

However, because there is so much unused hotel and flight capacity in Thailand, operators offer significant discounts on holidays to the country. Flights to Bangkok can be had for up to 30% less and some hotels in Thailand's resort areas like Pattaya or Phuket offer rooms for up to 70% less. So for holiday makers in Europe or North America who what to escape the winter cold, Thailand is the best bargain this winter season.

The country is well knows of its pristine beaches, friendly people and authentic cuisine. English is widely spoken and for many nationalities no visa is required to enter the country. Despite the recent unrests, travel within the country is considered to be very safe.

International flights generally arrive in Bangkok where people can connect to flights throughout the country by one of the local airlines. Thai Airlines, Bangkok Airlines and Nok Air have multiple flights a day to all major cities and tourist resorts in Thailand. All these airlines currently offer promotions from Bangkok to most of their destinations.

Since many neighboring countries also similar problems like Thailand, this season might also be a good opportunity to explore some of the other countries in Indochina. Flights from Bangkok are generally cheap, especially since now many low-cost airlines offer flights to Thailand.

Travelers should observe the situation in Thailand closely before making a decision to go there. However, this winter season the country is more affordable than under normal circumstances. So visit Thailand now!

A Few Things To Note About Flying In and Out of Thailand

If you live in North America, finding a cheap destination is a big priority this year. Thailand represents a killer deal and it is very friendly towards Americans. If you are going for the first time, however, there is something you need to know about the flight.

To be honest, there are a couple of things you need to know about flying to Thailand. The first thing to grasp is the flight is long. I'm talking watch the grass grow long. I've flown internationally much of my life and the flight to Thailand feels like it is one of the longest. Depending on where you are coming from, it will clock in at 22 to 28 hours.

The second thing to know is that you really need to pay attention to the difference in time between your location and Thailand. From the west coast of the United States, the difference is such that you often fly into Bangkok at about one o'clock. One as in the time the bars are closing! It is pretty much just you and your fellow travelers in the airport.

Before you mark Thailand off of your list of destinations, it is important to keep in mind that pretty much everything is open at this late hour. They Thais know the flights are coming in late and cater to them. You can get taxis, hotel rooms, change money and so on. It is not a situation where you walk out of the airport and a tumbleweed rolls down the road.

The third key thing to know has to do with your flight out of the country. You really need to call in and check for updates on the flight out a few days to a week ahead of time. Why? The flights change all the time. They usually leave on the same day, but may do so as many as six hours earlier than it reads on your ticket.

This leads to some fairly amusing situations. The Thais are mortally offended if you miss your flight. If there is any chance of getting on it or a flight to the same destination, they will drag you all over the airport to get there. I've often ended up on a different airline asking where the heck I am going. Despite the chaos, it always seems to work out.

Backpacking in Thailand - what you can from it

Take a look at the entire list of the best destinations in the world, and you will see Thailand at the top right (or at least close to it) - and for good reason. If you are an experienced traveler or a newcomer to backpacking, Thailand is something good in Serbian for you.

1. He smiles.

Land of Smiles: Over the years, Thailand has rightly earned the nickname. The people of Thailand are known, including the most beautiful, friendliest and most helpful people on earth, and are you sure 'greeted with a warm smile and friendly banter, wherever you go. If you are a new backpack, then Thailand is definitely the place to go, because you can count on help from the locals, at any time, with a smile.

2. So

Without doubt, Thailand is one of the ideal climatic conditions in the world, so why the visitors are coming from colder regions of the west of the country in droves. Thailand enjoys sunshine all year round, even during the so-called rainy season. So pack the stuffwhile backpacking - Thailand offers you the opportunity to show some 'skin!

3. Sand and sea.

For most people, the beaches are a must in backpacking. Thailand is probably best known for its many beautiful white sand beaches and pristine known aquatic animals, so it's a game in the sky!

Of course, the "Other countries, other customs" proverb. The many beaches in Thailand each has its own personality, likes the diverse needstheir demanding guests. For example, look for diving and snorkeling in a pristine underwater world often Ko Tao and the Similan islands to enjoy. Ravers can not get enough full moon party on Koh Phangan, beach parties or at home regularly Koh Samui. The nature tripper is much to rave about in Krabi and Phi Phi Koh Chang Trat. The connoisseur would never leave Phuket and Pattaya Beach. And if you just want to pass only the baking sunshine,well, take your pick and go and see - or all!

4. Sex.

Perhaps the main reason why most travelers (men, be correct) frequently Thailand is the land of the famous sex industry. In Bangkok alone, a farang (western) man - and in some cases, a woman - can indulge in forbidden pleasures Cowboy simply visiting areas such as Patpong, Nana, and the notorious Soi. such pleasures can be found in the go-go bars and coyote, the stray famous Walking Street PattayaPhuket and Patong Beach. Flavors from the conventional to the slightly askew, which are almost certainly bleak, and in one of the areas of sex that can be followed in most of the country's most famous attractions found to be satisfied. Whether you are skinny, bowlegged chicks, transsexuals or lavish pre-and post-op are added, the whole of Thailand.

Of course, this is probably not the whole point of your backpacking. Thailand, however, has a way to lure unsuspecting travelers in its first sexual energy,and this is the bane of many Farang unfortunates who end up empty wallet (thanks to the seemingly angelic bar girls who need rescuing "), or worse, a number of diseases due to adverse general inattention. Know that indulging in the most famous in Thailand, you are entering dangerous waters, so to do with caution.

5. Shopping.

Without doubt, Thailand offers excellent shopping, definitely one of the best in the world. BangkokHost to shopping area where you can be anything from brand to get cheap knock-offs. Those with the strongest portfolios often Ratchaprasong area and its luxury malls with numerous designer boutiques. The price-conscious, but find their way through the neighborhood with the hiring of Pratunam, the Lumpini Night Market, Chatuchak Weekend Market and Bo Bae, Asia Wholesale Mecca.

Most of the time shopping is practically unknown, while backpacking.Thailand, but sells everything from clothes and accessories for the latest gadgets at great prices. Bargain as there is no tomorrow, why not? This is part of the fun!

learn, in fact, there is much backpack. Thailand is an excellent teacher. No wonder that newcomers flock to the country by the thousands, and veterans to come.

Budget Travel in Thailand: Thailand in style as in default and without travel

Thailand was my first destination outside Europe and North America. Based on the wise advice of my friends experience in Thailand, I was sure that this paradise vacation would turn out ridiculous charges are carried out. But back home, I realized too late that during my little Thailand adventure I have spent almost as much money as one of my regular fluctuations in Europe. If I only knew that they can carefully plan your trip to Thailand in large savings. L 'The following list includes some solid advice that will help visitors to Thailand beginner can save significant amounts of money and still enjoy your vacation:

Season 1 choice .. trip to the islands in Thailand during the low season you can save up to 25% of the cost of accommodation (up to $ 25 per bungalow per night if you choose a high level - not luxury - accommodation). As in many other places, the world is based on seasonal work, there is a significant price fluctuationsmore seasons. No less important is the fact that the climate in Thailand is very pleasant even during the low season. Temperature "difference between the" hot season "and" high season "is miniscule, and during the" rainy season "can only be an experience of occasional light rain. Therefore, a cost structure of Thailand, avoiding the season without the price less than the suffering unbearably cold and dealing with endless monsoon.

Transportation seconds.Bangkok before arrival in the islands of the South by train or bus instead of plane can save up to $ 80 per trip. You can use a bundle if you arrive at night in Bangkok International Airport. In this case, you save not only the gap between the expensive and relatively cheap ticket train or bus, the first night and costs ($ 40 - $ 100 per night for bungalow in the standard - not luxury - accommodation).

Third food.In western style, the more you pay for your dinner, the better, so everyone can make a personal decision of a reasonable cost - benefit ratio. In Thailand, particularly in the southern islands, is much simpler: in most cases, the cheaper the better. expensive restaurants in Thailand Islands usually specialize on Western food that is neither faith nor of superior taste, a standard dinner costs € 10 - $ 30 in a restaurant of this kindAlternatively, the dinner at a cheap restaurant with plastic chairs cost $ 3 - $ 8, and is usually so pleasant and genuine. My most disappointing Thai dinner was served in a fancy restaurant in Bangkok and had cost $ 120 for a couple, while my best Koh Phangan dinner was served in a cheap restaurant in the family. The owner - a young mother named Mam - prepared the meal for us exactly as we wanted and we pay a measly $ 5-6 per person.

air conditioning fourth.The presence of air conditioning in the room can book a big difference in the property. For example, the same rate in the same village from 15 $ -30 $ for a bungalow with a fan for $ 40 per can - $ 100 for an air-conditioned cabins. Although the choice of a room with air conditioning during hot weather (for example, from March to April) is crucial if you want to visit southern Thailand during the rainy season - a bungalow fan can both satisfy your needs and cut spending more than oneHalf.

fifth choice. similar to the world, rather than principle in most places where the housing prices in Thailand Islands depend on the choice of location. The bungalow on the main beach, close to 'airport or the harbor full of night life is probably twice as expensive in the same bungalow in a quiet secluded beach. However, accessibility is a problem in the islands of Thailand and the taxi fares and taxi boat fares operate under the same principle ofOvernight interest rates. So there is a rule you can take: If you are looking for social activities and stay close to the nightlife of the port or airport, or do a little effort and move after you arrive on a remote beach. You can save up to 60% discount on accommodation in this way.

Sixth communication. Probably will not be a complete shock, but the use of the phone outside of Thailand could be extremely expensive. To save on communication costsor cell phone with local prepaid SIM card or use the phone and internet services center. Mind you, that can vary the costs of such services. As usual, if you call abroad from your office holiday - there will be more expensive than a call center in the city. The cheapest option is probably to give your phone number, your friends and relatives abroad, as each call center has a phone number that can be used for a callback.

Seventh Prize hearing.In tourist resorts in Thailand is negotiating a necessity or a way of life. Similarly, in the less touristy islands and territories also accept price negotiation. Trial - in Thailand price negotiation is not considered an embarrassing behavior, so you have nothing to lose.

psychology 8. Although more can be perceived in Thailand to be cheaper than in your country is not fooled by low prices and seemingly control your spending. The purchase of a huge amount ofinexpensive things can really up to surprisingly large sum of money.

In my last visit to Thailand, I followed these guidelines, with perseverance and I was happy to report that to travel in Thailand for more than a simple economic problem, it can be fun. Interestingly, Thailand, spend less - the closest authentic local experience.

Arriving in Bangkok, Thailand

The capital of Thailand, Bangkok is an exciting and vibrant city is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world.
