The five most costly mistakes you can make your trip to the islands of Thailand: How to Avoid Them

Islands of southern Thailand is also known worldwide as the "Paradise" Islands are among the most popular destinations. More than 12 million tourists visited Thailand in 2005, and most of them had left the arrival at Bangkok International Airport and immediately went straight to their islands to the south. Some of the visitors were from stories of people who have been caught in the charm of an unforgettable atmosphere of the islands, some fascinatingThey were photographs that looked to find, while others, in the words of his travel agent that the Thai Islands were indeed the ultimate destination for all, the taste of age, budget and personality were convinced it fits. This may partially explain the massive flow of honeymooners, tourists, families on holiday, party people, divers and many other islands in Thailand each year.

But Thailand inexperienced travelers may be unaware of the factthat an unsatisfactory holiday something foolproof, even in a place called Paradise Island Nick. To be successful, joy and satisfaction, your holiday must be planned carefully. unusual destinations unknown often hide little secrets that keep the vast potential of your vacation to the desired positive change.

In this article, the biggest mistakes committed before and during the visit to the Thai islands. Compliance or non-compliancethe following five amendments can literally make or break your vacation in the southern islands of Thailand.

1. An error in choosing your holiday island spontaneously identical. Web Images of tropical islands often make them look fast. The inexperienced traveler may assume that no matter where you go in the islands of southern Thailand - meet in the very structure of the picturesque beach with white sand, turquoise water and a coconut. Fallthe illusion of images in your choice of holiday island of pure instinct can all a disappointing experience at the final destination, not isolate your needs, your personality and expectations. To avoid this error, you can set your preferences first-hand dedicated to research before choosing a destination with the collection of information on guide in addition to using the Internet. How to choose the island that suits your needs, payPlease note the following points:

a. The level of development of tourism. Some travelers, like their islands with tourist facilities (such as Phuket, Koh Samui) is loaded, while others prefer the classic touch touch "old school" block (ie, Koh Phangan, Khao Lak).

b. Nightlife - discount Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi, to a lesser extent, a vibrant nightlife, while Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao quiet and sleepy.

c. Diving - Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao offer the best divingin southern Thailand.

d. The predominant level of accommodation. Phuket and Koh Phi Phi offers an immense variety of luxury hotels, while Koh Phangan and Koh Tao usually simple (not necessarily low-level).

2. Error 2 on the assumption that the vacancy may be a major turning point in the very low standards. Some travelers tend to mistakenly believe that developing countries are Thailand, a country with a high cost is all inclusiveHospital stay at low prices. This is partly true, as the tourism industry for low cost travel options is proposed to backpackers. However, the agony of the tourists who are accustomed to Westernized luxury hotels where you can enjoy the hard way that they are appropriate in terms of expectations, travel expenses, which together will be offered. To avoid this problem and deal with serious deviations from the planned budget - to introduce the researchThe price differences in the southern islands of Thailand. For example, you should be aware that some islands (eg, Koh Phi Phi) should be more expensive, while on other islands (eg, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao) can be considerably cheaper. To avoid disappointment, in the context of the costs, I recommend the following guidelines to members:

a. So you are planning a budget based on estimates made by someone else, especially if that person visits the Thai islands for many yearsbefore, spent the holiday on another island, as they chose, much younger than her, or prefer a different standard of living.

b. An informed decision about the desired level of accommodation. The simple structure that a clean rooms with air conditioning and bathrooms may include Western-style are sent to relatively low, if not ridiculous price. In contrast, a luxury accommodation (the type of accommodation is quite common in Phuket and Koh Samui) arealmost as expensive as hotels in the neighboring country.

c. Although the revision of the room is available on the Internet - the price of food should be carefully checked e. Do not assume that no matter where you eat - the food is cheap. During my first visit to Thailand, I was very surprised the country a check for the same value in my home. Now I know that the southern Thailand island style restaurants offer a variety of western and western Style prices. So before you make a well-designed restaurant - check the menu and make clear the budget estimate.

3 3 Error: the choice of beach holiday spontaneously .. This is similar to the error number - but probably easier to fix, because the scanning beaches on the target server is easier and less expensive than other islands review other logistics. However, the beach "wrong" choice, one feels that untapped potential of your> For the holidays, or you have wasted considerably. For example, my first visit in Koh Phangan I discovered two days before the end of my vacation that my perfect "beach" on the other side of the island. The following tips can help avoid a similar situation:

a. The beaches and the most advanced on the crowd most of the islands are located near the airport (if there is an airport in your own island) or to one of the most important ports.

b. In the case ofThey prefer the type above the beach - is to be aware that some of them, especially in Koh Samui and Phuket are non-families.

c. The beaches of the tranquil and picturesque old school are always on the opposite side of the island. If the "old school" beach is what you are looking for - do not give up, even if the way Thailand has long been exhausting, and try a little 'effort with respect to cross the street to the side of the island, will be for the penalty too.

4.Error 4: Western food. Insistence Some of us tend to worry about food, experimenting with a stranger. The Thai tourism industry is aware of this, and then the offer of Western-style restaurants in the islands of southern Thailand is huge. That said, limiting yourself to these restaurants could be a big mistake, because the prices of Western food are much higher than the authentic local restaurants, and even worse to lose one ofimportant experience of Thai culture - superior Thai cuisine, probably one of the best in the world. To avoid this error, please do not overlook small restaurants with ridiculously interior, plastic cards and walls exposed to enter. These restaurant owners' are probably the worst marketing -. But in general are more cooks a meal in one of these restaurants is often incredibly cheap, tasty and above all fresh ingredients you fancy sizzling.these meals long after leaving the island.

. 5 Problem 5: the sea, take a big event for every undertaking of this little island that could be called. To a large bag is very convenient [in Europe] to use it, you have to pack everything, you can easily thanks to the small wheels, and makes you look very representative. But a large suitcase in Koh Phangan and Koh Tao is not something that I would recommend. The platforms in the post are extremelynarrow and occasionally unstable. So if you're really lucky - your big suitcase will be safe. If you are a bit 'less fortunate - may fall into the water. If you run out of luck - you can fall into the water with your case. I seriously think a rear bag would be the best solution. Just for the record, the huge trunk, which was taken by me on their first trip to Koh Phangan, was somewhere in the jungle monkeys scare the local left.

So the next time the idea ofLocation Islands Thailand through the mind, as tempting as it may be, try not to succumb to gossip and fascinating images. Extensive research and planning for the future may take some time and effort on your part, but it's worth.
