  • Pattaya is not far from Bangkok only 1 and half hour taking bus, good for the people who don?t have so much time to spend in Thailand. Pattaya is so busy and the beach in Pattay is not so clean anymore, so many water sport can be found. Ko Laan or Laan island not so far from Pattaya still beautiful.

    Things To Do: Phuket

  • Phuket is the green water of the Andaman sea just 70 minutes flying time south of Bangkok, Thailand?s most popular beach destination has everything you could possible want on a holiday: beautiful beaches, some of the finest resort hotels, water sports, exquisite seafood, international and Thai cuisine, mountains, forests, temples, coral reefs, turquoise seas and tropical sunshine all in plentiful proportions. Whether you are looking for a quiet corner to enjoy a romantic retreat or an action packed time with plenty of colorful nightlife, Phuket has ii all.
    The climate of Phuket is tropical and therefore warm throughout the whole year. At the same time it is dominated by the monsoon winds that bring about seasonal changes from dry to wet. The monsoon winds change prevailing direction according to the season. This was an important aspect of navigation for the sailing ships in the middle ages. There are two very hot periods of weather on Phuket, the first between April and May when the average temperatures range from 30 to 36 degrees Celsius and only the occasional tropical thunderstorm brings relief from the heat. It is also very hot between September and October the frequent rainfall has a wonderful cooling effect. The southwest monsoon, from March to September, occurs when the sun is directly over the equator, the Asian continental mass heats up more than the surrounding Indian Ocean.

  • History
    When the secret of wind and water way was learned, navigation brought men of different races from faraway lands to make history in Krabi. In the former time, attractive trade profits and abundant natural resources lured profit seekers to come here; but today unspoiled natural resources and challenging out door activities attract those nature-lovers who seek to enjoy local hospitality and to live their lives to the fullest.
    People
    Krabi?s open door has invited people of different races to come here for generations. Cavemen and wandering sea gypsy lived from hunting and collecting edibles, while traders lived with commercial profits, and subsequent urban people enjoy the wealth of resources here, from elephants, forestry, fishing, palm oil to present-day tourism. Each
    group of people represents each page in the tapestry of Krabi?s long and colorful history.
