Islands of southern Thailand, also known as "paradise" islands known belong to the most popular destinations in the world. More than 12 million tourists visited Thailand in 2005, and most of them had left the Bangkok International Airport immediately upon their arrival and headed straight for the islands of the south. Some visitors were surprised at stories of people who were in the atmosphere of unforgettable charm of the islands captured fascinated, some of them were takenby images they saw on the net, while others were convinced, in the words of their travel agent that suits Thai Islands were indeed the final destination for all tastes, age, personality type and budget. This may partially explain the massive flow of honeymooners, backpackers, families on holiday, party-goers, divers and many other islands in Thailand each year.
However, the inexperienced traveler Thailand unconscious that a holiday is not satisfactorycinch, even in a place called Paradise Nick Iceland. To be successful, fun and rewarding, you need to plan your vacation carefully. unusual destinations often hide little known secrets that continue to make enormous potential, the desired positive change in your vacation.
In this article are the biggest mistakes are made before and during your visit to the Thai islands. Compliance or violation bottom five changes can literally make or break yourHoliday in the south islands of Thailand.
First mistake 1: Select the holiday island spontaneously. Images Web tropical islands, often make it look like your almost identical. The inexperienced traveler might think that no matter where you go in Southern Thailand Islands - meet in the same picturesque beach with white sand, turquoise water and a single coconut tree. Falling in the illusion image when choosing your island holiday of pure instinct cana very disappointing if the final destination of 'island do not meet your needs, your personality or expectations at all. To avoid this error, you define preferences before hand, make a dedicated search destination before the election by collecting relevant information on travel guides alongside the use of the Internet. How to choose the island that fits your needs, we listen carefully to the following points:
Others The level of tourism development. Some travelersislands as their dependents) with tourist facilities (such as Phuket, Ko Samui, while others prefer the classic touch of "old school" touch isolation (ie, Koh Phangan, Khao Lak).
b. Nightlife - Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi, to a lesser extent, in a lively nightlife, while Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao are quiet and sleepy.
c. Dive Sites - Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao offer the best dive sites in the southThailand.
d. The predominant level of accommodation. Phuket and Koh Phi Phi offers a wide variety of luxury hotels, while Koh Phangan and Koh Tao hotels usually offer basic (not necessarily low standard).
Second error 2: Assuming that the holidays can be an ideal place for a very low. Some travelers often mistakenly assume that Thailand, a country with an economy in developing these high standards you everything, including aHospitalization at ridiculously low prices. This is partly true, as the local tourism industry offers a cost-effective travel options for backpackers. But the tourists used to enjoy pampered luxury Westernized find the road difficult, for his expectations would defray the expenses, which are suitable for what is offered. To avoid this serious error and correct deviations from planned budget - Know your searchPrice differentials in the south islands of Thailand. For example, you should know that the residence some islands (such as Koh Phi Phi) should be more expensive, while the other islands (eg, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao) can be significantly cheaper. To avoid disappointment on this expenditure, I strongly recommend the following guidelines:
Others Do you plan a budget based on estimates of another, especially if that person was viewed Thai islands many years ago, spent the holidays in an island other than your own, much younger than you chose or prefer a different standard of living.
b. An informed decision about the desired level of accommodation. The basic arrangement of a clean room with air conditioning and western style bathroom contains, can be booked at a relatively low, except at ridiculous price. Conversely, a luxury accommodation (the accommodation is quite common in Phuket> Koh Samui) can be as expensive as hotels in your neighboring country.
c. Although the revision of rates is available on the Internet - the price of food must be carefully evaluated, as well. Do not assume that no matter where you eat - the food is cheap. During my first visit to Thailand, I was very surprised to receive a check for the same value in my country. Now I know that the South of Thailand islands offer a variety of restaurants with western stylePrices in Western style. Therefore, before a well-designed restaurant - check the menu to make it clear and budget.
Third Mistake 3: Choose your beach vacation this is spontaneous. Compared with error number - but perhaps easier to correct, because the beaches scan on the target server is easier and less expensive than other islands logistics check . However, the beach at "the wrong choice, he feels that has not exploited the full potential of yourLeaves, or you have wasted a substantial part of it. For example, in my first visit in Koh Phangan I discovered two days before the end of my vacation that my "perfect beach 'of the island lies on the opposite side. The following tips may help you avoid a similar situation:
Others The crowd and the more developed beaches on most islands are close to the airport (if there is one airport in your own island) or a major port.
b. In case yourather, the nature of the above beaches are - are aware that another, especially in Koh Samui and Phuket not be some families.
c. The school, located in a quiet and picturesque beaches are always on the other side of the island. If the "old school" beach is what you want - do not let go, even if the way Thailand was long and tiring, and trying to make a small effort to make the island on the way to the side opposite the cross, it is useful for you.
FourthError 4: Western emphasis on food. Some of us tend to worry about food, experimenting with an alien. The Thai tourism industry is aware of this fact, then, the supply of Western-style restaurants in the islands of southern Thailand is huge. Besides this, to postpone, these restaurants could be a serious mistake, since the prices are for western food is much higher than those who lose in authentic local restaurants, and even worse, one ofimportant experience of Thai culture - superior Thai cuisine, probably one of the best in the world. To avoid this error, please do not hesitate to come with ridiculously small restaurants neglected interior, plastic cards and exposed walls. These restaurant owners' are probably the worst marketing - but generally are superior cooks. meal in one of these restaurants is often incredibly cheap, tasty and above all fresh ingredients sizzle. You fantasize aboutthese meals long after leaving the island.
Fifth error 5: For the big business houses on an island where access might be your only sea. A large bag is convenient [lot in Europe]: with him you can pack everything you need can be easily carried out thanks to the wheels small, and makes you look very representative. However, a large suitcase on Koh Phangan and Koh Tao is not something I would recommend. PlatformsThe pillars are very narrow and unstable. So if you're really lucky - your big suitcase to be sure. If you are a bit 'less fortunate - may fall into water. If you're short of luck - you can fall into the water along with the suitcase. I think a serious backpack your best bet. Just for the record, which was large suitcases Phangan myself was taken on his first trip to Koh abandoned in the jungle in order to scare the monkey somewhere local.
Then, onThe next time the idea of the location of the islands in Thailand through the mind, as tempting as it is, try not to succumb to the voices and images fascinating. Extensive research and planning in advance can take some time and effort on your part, but it is more useful.
