How to Prepare for Thailand Vacation
Planning your Thailand vacations is pretty uncomplicated as tourism in one of the leading industries in the country. You have a lot of resources at your disposal that can address all your concerns. However, if this is your first visit, you may need to adjust your schedule accordingly to make sure you will not skip all the important things, such as the best Thailand attractions, cultural experiences, historic heritage, and amazing sceneries. Below you will find tips How to Prepare for a Thailand Vacation.
Make a decision prior to booking your flights and accommodations
Thailand is unique in the way that it offers the best experiences for any kind of a traveler, be it a backpacker seeking for new adventures, a family on a relaxing beach holiday, a honeymoon couple enjoying their romantic getaway and even a discerning tourist.
But booking your flight and accommodations before deciding on the places you would like to see can totally spoil your vacation. It simply won’t be as much fun.
The best way to go about it would be select the places you would like to see and also the amount of time you want to spend in each location. Having done that, you can safely book your flights and start looking for the best accommodation options. This will ensure that you will have the best experience.
Do not fully rely on the advice of the travel agencies
When discovering different countries it is always better not to stick to the predefined plan and do some adventurous exploration on your own. It is easy to become familiar with the major tourist attractions like Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai, but the real discovery of Thailand takes place in much smaller places, like small rural villages and remote islands. And you do not have to look too long and hard for them – they (the smaller villages) abound especially in Northern Thailand. Even some of the remote mountain places boast excellent top-notch hotel and resort accommodations which provide an easy access to hill tribe villages and other interesting areas. For a cultural enthusiast, to spend a day or two in the hill tribe villages of Thailand can be quite an unforgettable experience.
Just be prepared for the more primitive accommodations. Contrary to the modern hotels in the cities, the accommodations in the rural areas can be pretty rustic and may require you to share a bathroom or shower with others. But there are also excellent mountain resorts with all the modern amenities. Visiting the places that do not usually get a lot of tourists can lead to a lot of interesting discoveries. But do it after exploring the popular tourist locations as most of them are quite deserving of their fame.
Hiring a guide can be a good idea
Although it does cost a bit, hiring a guide can be quite helpful. First of all, you may need assistance with communication. The English is spoken quite well in the major cities, but the situation can be quite different in the local areas. Having someone to help you with such tasks as arranging accommodations, scheduling your activities and other stuff can help you get the most out of your traveling experience.
Find out as much info as you can on the places you want to see
There are numerous gorgeous islands and beaches in Thailand, not to mention the world-class cities and historic temples. But it is the places like Ayutthaya, for example, a beautiful ancient city that signifies Thailand as a kingdom. Now that you have some ideas on how to prepare for your Thailand vacation, make it a fun and memorable experience that you will be remembering for many years.
