Nakhon Si Thammarat is a province in South Thailand while Nakhon Si Thammarat city is the capital of the province. The city is about 610 km (380 miles) south of Bangkok, on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula.

The province sits on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand and is bordered by Surat Thani to the north, Phattalung and Songkhla to the south and Krabi to the west.

Nakhon Si Thammarat is Thailand's fourth largest city, but lack of tourists although the city has a lot of tourist sites.

Nakhon Si Thammarat Tourism

Nakhon Si Thammarat is the land of predominant Buddhism during the Srivijaya Period, so many temples will be found in the city. Wat Phra Mahathat is the most famous temple of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Wat Phra Mahathat was originally an old monastery which is believed to have been constructed during the Srivijaya Period. The building has a 77-meter pagoda which houses Buddha relics brought from Sri Lanka over 1,700 years ago.

Do not forget to visit the Old City Wall which is 460 meters wide and 2,230 meters long. The wall was constructed during the Phraya Si Thamma Sokarat period and was renovated at least two times during the Ayutthaya Period.

A place that is revered by all Buddhist is located in Nakhon Si Thammarat town near the City Hall. This is the Ho Phra Buddha Sihing. The Buddha image enshrined in this temple is believed to have been constructed during the Sukhothai Period.

Besides, there are a lot of other important archaeological places such as Vihara Luang, Vihara Khien, Vihara Khot, Vihara Pho Lanka, museum, etc.

Predominantly mountainous with substantial forest areas including the outstanding Khao Luang National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat also has a selection of beaches along its long, largely undeveloped coastline. There are loads of attractive coastal villages great for camping and as already mentioned, downtown Nakhon Si Thammarat is a good, and very local, place to spend a couple of days.

Nakhon Si Thammarat is different with another big cities in Thailand. You will find no sex tourism in the city.

Nakhon Si Thammarat Culture and Show

A distinctive aspect of cultural life in Nakhon Si Thammarat is the shadow puppets shows, called here Nang Thalung. The puppets are prepared with dried hides and shaped as the protagonists of Thai mythological or historical tales. This type of art is very popular in Southeast Asia and can be found in several variations.

A good place for experiencing the art is the Suchat Sapsin House at 10/18 Si Thammasok Road, Soi 3. The house includes a museum and offers performances as well.

Nakhon Si Thammarat Beach

Thailand is very famous for its exotic beach, let's say Phuket, Pattaya, Krabi. Visiti Nakhon Si Thammarat is not complete without visit the beach.

Being in southern Thailand, beaches are a compulsory part of any visit. Nakhon itself doesn’t have beaches (though there are a few nearby); yet it is worth a visit due to its cultural and religious importance. A way to overcome this problem is to make a stop along the way from – or to – Surat Thani at the town of Khanom. In such a way it is possible to enjoy a nearby beach without making lengthy detours to bad connected towns.

Located an hour north of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Khanom is a fishing village with attractive beaches, two caves, a road leading to the Dat Fa Mountain and a few waterfalls. Long-tailed boats allow exploring the Khanom River, where Irrawaddy dolphins can be seen in the early morning, especially during the rainy season. Nai Plao Beach features a few guesthouses and restaurants. The town is connected during the day with frequent minibuses to Nakhon and Surat.

Moreover, it is just twenty kilometers south of Don Sak, the ferry pier to Koh Samui.

Taking a songthaew (10-15B within the downtown district) is the easiest way to travel around Nakhon Si Thammarat. The pickup trucks are scattered throughout town - just wave at one to get them to stop. The sights are very spread out along the main road that runs through the town called Rajdamneon Road, so it's
best to take them in order to visit them.

Wat Mahathat is the most important shrine in Southern Thailand due to the Buddha relics in it. The big complex is impressive and easily recognizable as a big religious center; it includes a museum which displays a rich collection of artifacts and statues.

Nakhon Si Thammarat National Museum occupies the area of the old Wat Suan Luang Tawan Ok on Ratchadamnoen Road. Opened in 1974, it displays artifacts found in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Surat Thani, and Chumphon – the last three are provinces adjacent to Nakhon Si Thammarat - as well as local handicrafts

It is safe to visit Bangkok again after riots

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 10:54:00 -0700

Bangkok is on the international media highlight recently. Not because for its beautiful city and gorgoeus nightlife, but for a travel warning. Many countries had warned their people not to visit Bangkok. Bangkok is dangerous, a big riots happened after a protest from Red Shirt against the government. About ten thousands of Red Shirt protesters have gathered outside the army barracks in Bangkok where Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is holed up, demanding his resignation.

Fortunately, the riots ended with peace on each other side. Yes, the violent protests in Bangkok ended on 21st May 2010. And now it is the time to build up this beautiful city. While the threat of further protests still remains, it appears that for the time being Bangkok has started to return to normal. It is worth remembering that in Southern Thailand in the provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla there is still a threat of insurgency. Luckily this is away from most tourist areas but it is advisable to speak to your travel agent just to be careful.

If you still don't dare going to Bangkok, let's consider another places in Thailand such as Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phuket, and so more. Thailand is not just one Bangkok.

Bangkok Tourism today. To Go Bangkok or not go ?

Many tourist had canceled their flight trip to Bangkok or Thailand cities. Some are reroute to another destination inside South East Asia such as Malaysia and Indonesia. Some are choose to refund their ticket. It is reasonable for tourist to avoid Bangkok, even today Bangkok has began to recover from the bloody riots protest.

The Australian government had issued its highest travel warning, Bangkok had a night-time curfew and thousands of people had cancelled their flights.

Now, actually in Bangkok, he curfew had just lifted and the Red Shirt anti-government protesters gone home. Thailand had begun a new campaign to woo back tourists after losing up to $US2.2 billion in tourism revenue during the crisis, which had begun in March and had left nearly 90 people dead.

Many tourist now had arrived at the tourist centre of Khoa San Road district and noticed the area was moderately busy. Every few minutes you can saw a backpacker walking around. So not everyone had cancelled their flights. But some hostel, which was considered to be popular, was only about 20 per cent occupied.

"It got busy from today," said Rao, one of the hostel workers. "But some hotels have only one guest."

Some of them had postponed their visit to Bangkok and had gone to other parts of the country until the curfew lifted.

"Last time I came here it was 24-hour party, party, party," said a Norwegian girl of the street where bars are open until late and street vendors spruik everything from "ping-pong" shows to pirated DVDs, to fake drivers' licences to women's clothing.

"At least it's not dead like it was last night," said a friendly Israeli backpacker.

Let's Visit Bangkok. It is safe

Many airlines now are tend to give a big discount for a direct flight to Bangkok. Let's say the low fare airlines, Airasia, give a free seat to Bangkok. Many hotels and travel service are doing the same thing. Bangkok is not that bad actually, there are still many things to see. So let's visit Bangkok again.

Songkran Water Festival Phuket 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:54:00 -0700

Visiting Thailand is a never ending journey. There a lot of attractions to visit, delicious foods to eat, thai girls and massage to enjoy, abundant nightlife show to watch and their unique Thai Festival to attend.

One of most anticipated festival in Thailand is The Songkran Festival. The Songkran festival s celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day from 13 to 15 April. Of all the feasts and festivals in Thailand, which are many, the Songkran Festival is the most striking, for it is widely observed not only in this country but also in Burma, Cambodia and the Lao State.

The most obvious celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water. People roam the streets with containers of water or water guns, or post themselves at the side of roads with a garden hose and drench each other and passersby. This, however, was not always the main activity of this festival. Songkran was traditionally a time to visit and pay respects to elders, including family members, friends and neighbors.

Besides the throwing of water, people celebrating Songkran may also go to a wat (Buddhist monastery) to pray and give food to monks. They may also cleanse Buddha images from household shrines as well as Buddha images at monasteries by gently pouring water mixed with a Thai fragrance (Thai: น้ำอบไทย) over them. It is believed that doing this will bring good luck and prosperity for the New Year. In many cities, such as Chiang Mai, the Buddha images from all of the city's important monasteries are paraded through the streets so that people can toss water at them, ritually 'bathing' the images, as they pass by on ornately decorated floats. In northern Thailand, people may carry handfuls of sand to their neighborhood monastery in order to recompense the dirt that they have carried away on their feet during the rest of the year. The sand is then sculpted into stupa-shaped piles and decorated with colorful flags.

Songkran festival Phuket 2010

Famous across Thailand in the hot April weather, this riot of fun is equally enjoyed and avoided by foreigners since it involves a week long soaking. Full scale water fights break out in selected areas of the island and it’s impossible to travel anywhere without roadside kids drenching bikers and cars in buckers of water. It all originated from a gentler tradition of lightly watering neighbours to beckon the rainy season and is a time for Thais to gather with their families. Central Patong and Phuket city are the best places to be, along with the main beach areas, arm yourself with water pistols on sale, a sense of humour and waterproof bags for your valuables. Unique to Phuket is the Turtle Release at selected beaches, a merit making exercise. Phuket Songkran 2010 dates: April 13th to 15th.

Songkran Festival in Bangkok

In Bangkok, the Songkran Grand Celebration will be held between 10 and 15 April around the Rattanakosin Island district, sometimes called “Old Bangkok.”

The main celebrations, in the capital, focus on bathing rites of replicas of revered Buddha images originating from various provinces in the North, South, East and central regions, interspersed with traditional food and dessert-making demonstrations and cultural performances. The opening ceremony will take place, 10 April, at Phra Chetupon Wimol Manklaram or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

Although Tour Travel always focusing Songkran Festival in Phuket, actually another cities in Thailand also celebrating the festival. There are also important celebrations through the country at various tourist destinations:

Ayutthaya Tourism

As a major city in the past, Ayutthaya had ever being the world's largest city at the time. But, in 1767 the city was completely burned during the war. Now many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city as the tourist sightseeing.

The major sites are the Buddhist temples, Buddha Statues, Buddha Wat, and the ruined building.

There were three palaces in Ayutthaya: Grand Palace, Chantharakasem Palace or the Front Palace, and Wang Lang or the Rear Palace. In addition, there were many other palaces and buildings for royal visits located outside the city area of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, such as Bang Pa-In Palace at Amphoe Bang Pa-in and Nakhon Luang Building at Amphoe Nakhon Luang. out 30 Baht.

In addition to the ruins listed here, the inner city is also home to two or three museums worth a visit.

1. Wat Phra Si Sanphet
The three bell-shaped chedis of Wat Phra Si Sanphet have practically become a symbol of Ayutthaya. The temple stands almost in the center of the main area of the old capital.

2. Wat Phra Ram
Just across the street from Wat Phra Si Sanphet is the towering prang of Wat Phra Ram, an excellent example of a Khmer style temple from the begining of the Ayutthaya period.

3. Wat Ratburana
Closer to the current city center, Wat Ratburana was built in 1424 to hold the ashes of the king's two older brothers, who killed each other fighting over the throne.

4. Wat Mahathat
The temple was built in the early days of Ayutthaya in the late 14th century by King Borommaracha I. The story goes that the king had a revelation, and relics of the Buddha then suddenly appeared. The temple was built to house the relics.

5. Wat Phra Si Sanphet.
The temple was built in an original style within the compound of the Royal Palace, and goes back to the very first period of the establishment of the city The three Chedi at this Wat are some of the more complete remains in Ayutthaya and were the Royal Tombs for King Bormmatrailokanat and his sons

6. Wat Ratchaburana.
The temple was established in the 15th century and was built to house the ashes of the brothers of King Borommaracha II. In 1957 archaeologists uncovered a host of Buddha images and stone tablets in the temple crypts, during restoration. Also discovered were mural paintings which showed a strong Chinese influence .

Ayutthaya Nightlife
Nightlife in Ayuttthaya is pretty quite. There's not a great deal to do at night in Ayutthaya apart from having a drink in a couple of bars along Farang Street. The Jazz Bar has a little something else by featuring the talents of the Chaikawiphan Jazz Band who play drums, guitar, double bass and various percussion instruments (and sing) on the pavement outside the bar.

Bars in Ayutthaya consist mostly of those attached to specific hotels, and even those aren't open very late in the evening. The main traveller area lies in Soi Torgorsor between Naresuan Road and Pamaphrao Road. This lies west of the Chao Phrom Markets. This area contains a number of bars for you to check out that open slightly later than most of the other places in Ayutthaya. Some bars even contain projection screens perfect for watching the latest sports game.

But there's one area that becomes magical at night. And that is the 'Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Historical Park'. If you're a photographic buff, this is a good time to take some great photos!

Bangkok Gays Bars Silom Soi 2

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Fri, 9 Oct 2009 07:13:00 -0700

Thailand is a heaven for Gays (Bisexual), as the country is one of the most tolerant in cultures. You may find a lot of gays or lesbians through the capital city, Bangkok.

Thailand has a thriving gay and lesbian bar scene, which attracts tourists from all over the world. Many cities are providing the gays area, such as Hatyai, Pattaya, Phuket. In Bangkok, the gay bars are concentrated along Silom Soi 2 and Soi 4, with Soi 2 being considered 'more gay'. Slightly seedier bars can be found off Surawong Road, along Soi Anuman Rachathon and Soi Tawan. Other bars can be found sprinkled along Sukhumvit, especially Soi 23, and Tanao Road in the Banglumpoo area. All of these bars cater to males only.

The Most famous Gays district in Bangkok, no doubt is Silom Soi 2. Silem Boy 2 is a short lane off Silom crammed with bars and restaurants that caters exclusively to the gay community. Soi 2 is widely considered to be 'more gay' than nearby Soi 4. The bars get hot and sweaty on Friday and Saturday nights and it's hard to move, let alone dance to the trendy underground sounds. Men wandering into these bars at the weekend can expect to be groped from all quarters.

Silom has the most to see, with three Soi’s offering some great gay venues. Silom Soi 2, featuring the famous DJ Station and other pubs, is very popular with the Thai community, making that Soi the most popular Soi on Silom. A two minute walk from there is Silom Soi 2/1, where @Richard’s Pub & Restaurant (Thai & western food) and G.O.D nightclub (after hours dancing) is located. About 4 minutes from there is Silom Soi 4, with Sphinx Restaurant, Balcony Pub, and Telephone Pub; all of them have good food.

In between Silom and Sathorn Road, there are several massage shops to stop in at to have a great massage and relax. On Soi Sala Daeng, you can have a great dinner at Fab Cuisine and next door is a new gay guest house, Baan Sala Daeng. For some fine dining check out Coyote Restaurant and Eat Me Restaurant on Soi Convent. Down a-ways on Naratiwat is the OmYim Lodge for a nice, reasonably-priced guesthouse.

And a trip to gay and lesbian Bangkok would not be complete without an encounter with a “ladyboy” (Katoey in Thai). The majority of ladyboys are “she-males” who are unable to pay for a full sex change operation, and so are exploiting their comfort with being with either men or women. They often do not comply to the generally subservient nature of Thai women, and can be fairly feisty, but they are also renowned for taking good care of their health.

Hua Hin Beach Night Market Shopping

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:57:00 -0700

Hua Hin is a famous beach resort town in Thailand, and Thailand's oldest beach town resort, situated on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand and only 200 kilometers from the capital, Bangkok.

While the beaches of Phuket and Samui were discovered only recently and have since undergone rapid and sometimes destructive development, Hua Hin has already been the favourite Thai resort for over 70 years.

Hua Hin is unlike most other beach resorts in Thailand. If you are looking for bright lights and frantic all night action you will be disappointed there. It is very much a family holiday resort area with good shopping and multi-national restaurants including, of course, the best Thai seafood the country has to offer. Idweal Thailand summer holiday beach destination.

The main beach area fronts the town itself where many fine resorts are found. Beaches to the north and south . The beaches at Khao Takiab (Chopsticks Hill) and Takiab Bay (Chopsticks Bay) are just to the south of the town centre.

Hua Hin beaches stretch along the coast both north and south. For out door fun and adventure you can enjoy watersports, Elephant rides, All terrain Vehicle rides, fishing and boat trips. Khao Takiab Bay is a popular beaches with clear clean water and gentle waves, beach loungers and beach umbrellas for shade. Palm trees and Casuarana trees line the long beach at Takiab Bay. These beach areas are also popular for jogging and beach cycling.

The area also offers the opportunity to visit the temples of Khao Takiab, feed the monkeys, climb to the viewpoint. The Khao Takiab area has many temples includes many built many years ago. Snorkeling is available a few hours south . The River Kwai is just 3 hours from Hua Hin . The National Park at Sam Roi Yot (Three Hundred Peaks) is just 30 minutes south of town.

Hua Hin Nightlife
Hua Hin's nightlife offers little in the way of comparison to the hedonistic areas of Phuket, Bangkok and Pattaya. Due to its status as a 'Royal Town' tourism authorities have been making a conscious effort to preserve the heritage of the city.

Hua Hin has one or two soi's dedicated to Bars. Go to the Hilton and walk away from sea. Again there are too many to mention but one or two worth a visit are Jungle Juice (Selakam Rd), Bernys Inn (near the Hilton) a popular Golfers bar, Adrenaline Bar in the Pavillion village Hua Hin offers, beers, wines and cocktails and a happy hour every day from 5pm to 7pm. Lastly a popular favourite with expats and Golfers is the Roadhole on Poolsuk Rd.

There are two night markets in Hua Hin. The main night market is on soi 72 and is open nightly. The second is close to the Grang hotel just south of Hua Hin and is open every evening except Mondays and Tuesdays. The latter has a more local feel.

Hua Hin Nite Life Bars
If you are looking for good night life, I am afraid that Hua Hin is not the place for you. The picture at right says it all, outdoor beer bars with lots of male tourists and very few girls. The girls that they do have are not that appealing, they do not compare to the girls in Bangkok or Pattaya, overall the bar scene here is fairly pathetic. All of the bars are located near the Soi Bintabat area, on a map it looks spread out, but the sois are really little more than lanes, so everything in town is within easy walking distance. All of the bars in this area are "outside" style beer bars that are open air and do not have any real air conditioning.

Hua Hin Beer Bars
While nowhere near as widespread as in say, Pattaya, a generous smattering of beer bars can be found in Hua Hin, mainly around main strip Soi Bintaban. Don’t expect to be wowed by these unadorned drinking holes – they’re typically little more than open front shop houses with a few bar stools, a pool table, and a small arsenal of cheap alcohol.

Very basic and bare. However, if you’re open-minded they can be a lot of fun – drink, play pool, watch sports, enjoy loud music (usually soft rock or Northeastern Isaan music) and exchange chitchat or – if you’re willing and able – flirtations with the small posse of female hostesses.

Hua Hin is the oldest beach in Thailand, located approx. 190km south of Bangkok and 92 kilometres north of Prachuab Khiri Khan

Hua Hin’s famous cabaret show, Blue Angel. It’s a small-scale show that’s large on ladyboy drama, glam, elegance and beauty. Shows at 20:00 and 21:45 every night.

The nightlife scene in Hua Hin is tame compared to say, Pattaya, The majority of the tourists and visitors that come to Hua Hin are couples and families, therefore, the nightlife scene in Hua Hin is tame compared to say, Pattaya, Koh Samui or Patong, Phuket.

Hua Hin Dusit Thani Beach Resort

There are two night markets in Hua Hin. The main night market is on soi 72 and is open nightly. The second is close to the Grang hotel just south of Hua Hin and is open every evening except Mondays and Tuesdays. The latter has a more local feel.

Many restaurants, pubs, bars , different kind of places which different atmosphere to sit , enjoy music and drink, some are open area places which seem popular beside street. The name of the street are Nares Damri Rd, - Phunsuk Rd, - Dechanuchit Rd, - Some part of Phetkrasem Rd. ( Satukarn Square )

Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew Bangkok

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Sun, 2 Aug 2009 04:07:00 -0700

The Grand Palace may be one of the main tourist attractions in Bangkok. Since the founding of Bangkok as the Nations capital by King Rama I, The Grand Palace has been the major architectural symbol of The Thai Royal Family. In the present time, The Royal Family resides at Chitralada Palace while The Grand Palace is used for ceremonial purposes.

The main buildings within the Grand Palace compound were built for King Rama V, who was the first Thai King to travel to Europe.

Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace together are probably the number one tourist attraction in Bangkok. The Wat Phra Kaew or Temple of the Emerald Buddha is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple (wat) in Thailand. The temple containing the Emerald Buddha.

The grounds of Wat Phra Kaew actually comprises of many ‘wats’ (Buddhist temples), all of which are superb examples of classical Thai Buddhist temples from the current Rattanakosin style era. Polished gold stupas rise up among ornate pillars and roofs which are studded with small mirrors and cut glass, which on close inspection has the appearance of an intricate mosaic, but from afar simply glitters and sparkles.

The chief attraction here is the Wat Phra Kaew itself, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which was erected in 1782. This is the most sacred temple in the complex and Buddhist ceremonies are often held here. Adjacent to it is the Grand Palace – one of several Royal residences.

Grand Palace and Wat Phra Entrance Admission
Admission to the Wat Phra Kaew and Grand Palace compound is 200 Baht for foreigners, and free for Thais. The temple is open from 08:30 until 15:30. In order to enter you need to be wearing a long sleeved t-shirt and shorts or skirts also are not permitted, nor are flip-flop style sandals. However, any of these items of clothing are available for hire at the entrance if you are not dressed correctly when you arrive.

How to access Grand Palace and Wat Phra
To get to The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, ask any taxi driver or alternatively you can get an express boat from the pier at Saphan Thaksin (by BTS station of the same name) and alight at Tha Chang, from where you can walk to the main road and then you’ll see the temple grounds in front of you. If you are staying in Khao San Road or nearby, the temple is reachable on foot – you’ll need a map though.

Thailand Bangkok Soapy Massage Parlors

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:56:00 -0700

A Bangkok Soapy Massage has got to be top of the list for any visitor to the city of angels. There are so many Massage Parlours in Bangkok, or should we say Sexy Soapy Massage Parlors in Bangkok. This section was written by a friend who appears to have been a busy happy chappy on his visits to Bangkok. There are two spellings of parlor - parlour to suit the tastes of our British English visitors and American English visitors. As this account has been compiled over a number of trips (and years) some of this information may well be out of date. The names of the massage parlours may have changed or they may even have gone out of business. Nevertheless like most types of businesses in Thailand they tend to congregate in areas close to each other. So if your chosen massage parlour is not there any more you shouldn't have to go far to find another.

Of course quite often the sexy Thai massage girls also move on to another massage position either to a new massage parlor in Bangkokor maybe into retirement when they meet that special customer who takes her for the ultimate long time massage experience.

There are literally thousands of Thai massage parlors in Bangkok, Thailand. Essentially, there are three types of massage: the soapy massage, the Thai massage and the herbal oil massage. We all know that many massage parlors are little more than a front for prostitution, and in many massage parlors, this extra option is readily available.

This has to be the ultimate entertainment experience in this exciting city, if you have not tried it, you owe it to yourself to try this at least once. Although we are sure that it won't be your last. In the various massage parlors there seems to be a similar procedure.

Upon entering the establishment, you will be lead to a reception area where you will see a group of girls, usually in another room with a one way mirror. While you are admiring the females, you can always get a drink while you take your time to make your choice. Once you have made your selection, just give the manager the name and number(s). The girl will be brought out to greet you, and you could have a drink and chat with her, or simply head to the private room. Be fully aware gentlemen that you will be expected to settle the bill in advance of departing to the room.

Girls sitting behind the glass window for you to choose

Upon reaching the room with your selected escort, you may be offered the opportunity to order another drink, both for yourself and your companion. Chatting is optional, you may wish to progress and head for the type of massage you have selected. Depending on the option that you have chosen, you will first be placed in a soapy bubble bath, pleasurably cleaned up by your companion(s), and if you have chosen the body massage you will get the rubber mattress treatment. If you have not yet had this pleasure, it is widely recommended. Another suggestion, if your budget allows, is the “sandwich” where you get two young ladies to attend to all your needs.

Once you have been dried, and are squeaky clean from the soapy bath and massage, you will be shown to the bed, which is usually round or oval. This is round two of your pleasures, so prepare yourself. You can tell if the young lady is enjoying her time with you about now, since if she did not, she would be reluctant to spend even more time with you. The body massage usually takes about 90 minutes, but can last as long as two and a half hours if your masseuses are happy with the way you are treating them.

If all you are really looking for is a good body massage, then opt for traditional Thai massage, which originated some two and a half thousand years ago. The techniques were passed on originally by word of mouth, then written upon palm leaves. These may be viewed at the Wat Pho temple in Bangkok.

Patpong Bangkok Red Light District

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 09:17:00 -0700

Patpong is a district in Bangkok famous for its red light district, as a main sex industry in Thailand. The Patpong area is a couple of blocks between Silom and Suriwong Roads, just down from the Sala Daeng Skytrain Station and is home to the city's most popular and renowned night market, many fine shops, restaurants, five star hotels and the main draw of all, some of the city's most boisterous nightlife. If you're visiting Bangkok, or are lucky enough to live here, you'll know that the main attraction is the area's world class bars.

Patpong is an entertainment district in Bangkok, Thailand, catering mainly, though not exclusively, to foreign tourists and expatriates. While Patpong is internationally known as a red light district at the heart of Bangkok's sex industry, the city in fact has numerous red-light districts that are far more popular with Thai men. A busy night market aimed at tourists is also located in Patpong.

When people talk about Bangkok night markets, there is nobody who does not know Patpong. It is a paradise for tourists who like to buy cheap souvenirs before leaving Thailand. The challenging thing for vendors and buyers is to bargain wisely. The lowest offer you can get depends on how much you can use your talent to negotiate.

Many kinds of souvenirs are sold along the street, such as hand-made products, carved woods, home decorations, etc. Products with fake brand names are most popular in this Bangkok night market. They can range from small things to big things, such as earrings, copies of DVDs and CDs, belts, sunglasses, T-shirts, bags and suitcases which are given the sturdy slap test!

Patpong Nightlife
Patpong Nightlife can't be seperated with Agogo bars, Beer bars, BJ bars, Discos, Fetish bars, Karaoke bars, Massage, Nightclubs, Pubs, ST bars, and so on.

In Patpong Soi 2, close to the Foodland Supermarket is Club Electric Blue, the most popular of all of Patpong's agogo bars. Owned and run by Westerners with long experience managing bars, Club Electric Blue makes a point of creating a comfortable setting for the girls and customers.

Other popular bars with pretty ladies on the premises include King's Castle 1 & 2, Queen's Castle II and Camelot's Castle. These bars are next to each other in the middle of Patpong Soi 1 and can get very busy. These particular bars are part of the King's Group of Bars, a group of some 15 odd bars owned by the same group. This group pledges that customers will not have any problems in their bars, always good to know if you are new to Patpong and entering such bars makes you a little nervous.

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Mon, 6 Apr 2009 02:57:00 -0700

Surat Thani is a province at South Thailand, exactly located on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand.

Surat Thani is the largest province of the South located 685 kilometers from Bangkok. Surat Thani literally means "City of the Good People".

Surat Thani Province is home to Koh Samui – an island that has gained a worldwide reputation as for charm and beauty that warrant a traveler’s attention. Ko Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand, approximately 84 kilometers east of Surat Thani Province, or approximately 700 kilometers south of Bangkok. Known as the Coconut Island, Ko Samui is one of the most famous and popular attractions of Thailand.

Koh Samui Nightlife

Koh Samui Nightlife is focusing on the two main beach : Chaweng Beach and Lamai Beach.

From sophisticated gourmet restaurants to the famous full moon parties, Koh Samui has some of the best nightlife in Thailand. Discos, clubs, music venues, bar beers, classical Thai dancing, mud wrestling (yes) and even weekly Thai Lady boxing... Plus, a huge variety of excellent restaurants all over the island.

Chaweng Beach

Located on the east coast, Chaweng is the largest and most action-packed beach on the island. Protected by a offshore coral reef it has a nice shallow lagoon which is great for swimming. Wide range of accommodation - budget, first class and deluxe, with lots of excellent restaurants within easy reach of the beach.

Krabi is famous for its other nearby tourist attraction such as :Ko Phi Phi, Railay Beach, Ao Nang, Had Yau, Ko Jum, Phuket and Ko Lanta.

Krabi Nightife

Nightlife in Krabi may not as crowded as its neighbour Phuket. in Krabi you will not find beer bars, a go go bars, or sexy female lady boy to offer their services. Even in town, most of the bars are relaxed, open-air cafes, often with a giant screen showing the latest Thai pop videos, or Premiership football games. Live music is also popular here, with Thai bands regularly performing covers of local and western hits.

Krabi has two night markets. Some stall open on Chao Fan pier, but the real market is just off Thanon Sukhon opposite the city hotel. It's populated by locals and tourist alike - and so avoids the worst excesses of place like the Patpong night market in Bangkok. We were especially impressed by the range of local produce and cooking. Stalls were displayed with a real sense of pride. By taking a little from a stall you can enjoy a good paradial grazing session.

But there are still a lot of various bars and pubs can be found in Krabi town and nearby.

Bars in Krabi Town

1. Crazy Pub: a live music pub with load house band and good DJs. 90% Thai crowd but also some tourists. Majharat Rd, just past Shell Station opposite Grennery Hotel.
2. Wild West Bar:Rasta Hideout:O'Mallery's:Gekco Bar::
All on Chafa road on the all within shouting distance of each other ... partiers go from krabi bar to the next here.

Bars on Koh Lanta
1. Ibark: Tribal, House, Trance, and Psy-Trance party scene up on a hill behind Klong Nin beach.
2. Otto's: Klong Nin beach.
3. Opium: Long Beach.
4. Funky Fish: Long Beach.

Bars on Phi Phi Island
1. Apache: vertigo-inducing tiered bar along Ton Sai Bay.
2. Reggae Bar: In Ton Sai Village.

Bars in Ao Nang
1. The Last Fisherman: beautiful, classic beach bar, with tables on the sand and a bar keep under a thatch roof and a good selection of cocktails. At the far end of Ao Nang Beach, past Golden Beach Resort.
2. Luna Bar: another beach bar, with a thai disco atmosphere, offering pool tables and DJs. Only fills up after midnight. On Nopparat Thara Beach road, just after the bridge from Ao Nang.
3. The Irish Rover: farang pub, serving draught Guinness. A good place to read the English papers, or watch the sport. In Ao Nang.

Bars in Railay Beach
1. Gecko Bar: reggae bamboo shack on the East Railey beach. Complete with lots of Thai rastas with dreadlocks.
2. Coco Bar: Koh Pu refugee Billy is now on Rai Ley. He's a chiill'n
3. Freedom Bar: veed 4 vou. On Ton Sai Beach, across from Railay West.
4. Bobo's: a quiet beach bar Good place to watch the sunsets. Bobo's is on Railay West Beach.

Bangla Road at Patong Beach Nightlife

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 08:41:00 -0700

Phuket is a name of Thailand's Island, and the biggest island in Thailand. It is 48 km in length, 21 km at its widest, and is located in Southern Thailand, on the west-facing Andaman Sea coastline, suspended from the southern tip of Phang Nga Province by a pair of short but substantial road bridges.

Phuketis famous for its beach, and of the most popular beach is Patong Beach. Patong Beach is the main tourist resort in Phuket

Patong Nightlife: Bars, Discos, Ladyboys in Patong Beach

Nightlife in Patong Beach are wonderful. Lit up like Las Vegas, Patong is hopping every night of the week. Shops and restaurants stay open late, and there's the never-ending choice of bars, clubs, karaoke lounges, cabaret, massage parlours, go-go bars, discos and different kinds of shows.

Most of the action is centred around Soi Bangla which joins the Beach Road at one end and Rat-U-Thit Road at the other. In between are a number of small sois (streets) with bars, go go bars, restaurants and cafes, literally next to each other. For the gay community, the Paradise complex on Ratutit Rd has bars, cafes, guest houses and restaurants.

Patong nightlife offers various kind of bars, disco, with the shemale or Ladyboy.Katoey is the Thai term for shemale. English speakers have coined the term, "Ladyboy" to mean the same thing. Europeans have used this word for years and recently Americans have picked up on it.

Patong Beach on Bangla Road:

Bangla Road is the heartFrom 'hole in the wall' beer bars to country and western theme bars, Bangla Road has a couple of dozen bars, all of which face the busy street - a perfect place to watch the crowds go by. Best located is U2 Bar, opposite the entrance of Soi Gonzo, where you can sit and watch the burlesque transvestite show from the secure haven of the other side of the street. Many of the bars extend into small sois or side streets, so here are just a few, you will find waiting for you on Bangla Road:

Soi Eric
Situated half way down Bangla Road, Soi Eric is a complete street completely full of bars. Fairly unique because all the bars play the same music - which makes for a much more relaxed and less frantic atmosphere. Food, and good coffee can also be ordered from the end of the Soi and delivered to whichever of the few dozen bars you choose to sit in.

Soi Sea Dragon
A wide street dedicated to to many A Go Go Bars on both sides with the basic beer bars in the centre. Pubs change owners frequently so its difficult to keep track. At the end of the soi, the small and friendly "Rasta Pub", manages to be close to the action but away from the cacophony. An old established bar offering a more laid back environment. Close by are a couple of Tattoo shops (real Tattoos) and a famous foot massage centre.

Soi Gonzo & Soi Andaman Queen
Another street packed full of small bars and often with people, drawn by the outrageous and sexy transvestites dancing on the platform at the beginning of the soi. Be aware that if you want to take photographs, you'll be asked for a 200 Baht fee... Otherwise, the bars are the same as those in other Sois, but with different names.

Tai Pan Bar/Disco
Late night venue bar with a dance floor. Good sounds, and bands with guest musicians from time to time. You will find that most Locals and tourist rate this as a number one night spot. The bar is frequented by many Freelancing girls and also local girls out for a night out. Location: Top of Soi Bangla next to VIP.

VIP Bar/Disco
Located at the top of Soi Bangla. Excellent spot for people watching from the outside seating area. The staff are some of the friendliest in town - always smiling. Spacious interior with resident DJ and neon lit dance floor. Happy Hours until Midnight so the place is always buzzing..

Margarita
Another great spot for people watching right opposite Rock Hard on the corner of Soi Bangla. Couples and singles can chill out, hassle free. Good service by friendly English-speaking bar staff, and lots of old soul, blues, and vintage British pop from the last 30 years . Location: Corner of Soi Bangla opposite Rock Hard.

The Expat
Ice cold draught Carlsberg in a glass. As the name suggests - frequented by local expats and expats working in other Asian countries who stay in the adjoining Expat hotel. It's also the meeting place for the local Hash House Harriers (HHH) the drinking club with a running problem (or is it the other way round?) where anyone with the energy can go for a run in selected areas of the island every Saturday afternoon. Location: Soi Sunset.

Loui's Bar
British bar which screens live premier football on their TV and a Playstation which you can use when you're bored with the usual Thai bar games. Location: Soi Crocodile off Soi Bangla.

Located at the top of Soi Bangla, its a large venue with a Thai boxing ring in the centre. A good place to check out what Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) is about, but fights are mainly for the show and not very violent, so it's a good entertainment. Show starts around 9pm in a wide open and bright space surrounded by many bar counters, entrance is free, just order a drink (even a soft drink) Staff very friendly.

Pattaya is a city in Thailand, a popular resort on the North Gulf Coast of Eastern Thailand, 150 km south-east of Bangkok.

Pattaya Nightlife

Pattaya is internationally known for its nightlife. Although it's infamous as a sex tourist destination, there are ample opportunities to dance, drink, and observe humanity even if paid sex is not of interest. Steer clear of the staid hotel bars and head into the warrens of central Pattaya, where discotheques, transvestite cabarets, nightclubs, coffee shop, karaoke bars, open-air bars and restaurants with live music and entertainment compete for attention. Most of these establishments are located along the Pattaya Beach Road., Pattaya 2 Road., and in South Pattaya, which is also the resort’s major shopping area.

Walking Street is the most famous Pattaya Nightlife area of Pattaya and even the proverbial 'One Night In Bangkok' pales compared to the Nightlife in this town. This Street is closed to vehicles from evening until next morning. Hence it's called Walking Street.

Beer Bars

Open-air beer bars on Beach Road

Pattaya is especially famous for its beer bars (also called bar-beer), staffed by "bar girls" who are "for hire" to the tourists and ex-pats who drink there. Popular beer bar pastimes include pool, connect-four and shut-the-box.

Bangkok Best GogoBars and sexy dancer

noreply@blogger.com (Airlines Stewardess) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 06:58:00 -0700

GoGo bar is related to nightclub, but in more extreme way. Somes of this bars featuring sexy dancers or topless Go GO Dancers.

In South-East Asia, and especially in Thailand, go-go bars differ from beer bars in that they also include erotic adult entertainment, with dancers and hostesses. The performers are usually available for private hire, for your personal entertainment.

Go-go bars are particularly prominent in Thailand and some other Asian countries and are popular as venues for prostitution, and the dancers are often available to be bar fined by customers.

Go GO bars in Bangkok Nightlife

Many of Bangkok’s go go bars feature simply a continual run of songs in different musical styles – thumping dance beats and in some cases rocking tunes – and go go girls of seemingly different levels of enthusiasm dancing, or at least doing their best imitation of a dance, to the music. In many cases dancing equates to swaying back and forth around a pole or up and down the stage in order for them to have a look at the interested parties in the bar and vice versa.

One of Bangkok’s most well known go-go bars is The Dollhouse, which is located in one of Bangkok’s busiest late night adult entertainment areas – Soi Cowboy (soi 23 just off Sukhumvit Road). This is about a five minute walk from Asoke Station by Sky Train, or Sukhumvit Station if you use the Bangkok Subway System.

This go-go bar first opened at the end of 2000, the aim of the owners was to set new standards in nightlife and adult entertainment. Here visitors can enjoy being waited on hand, foot and finger by many attractive Thai females, whose only wish is to attend to their every need. Pole dancing is a popular spectacle as are the table dancers on the upper level of the original Dollhouse.

Besides Bangkok, another best place that has gogo bars in Thailand is Pattaya.
