Excuse me, where is it real Thailand? (3) | Sanok, a blog about food Thai - Thai food called Search Engine
Those who read the two previous posts on the "true Thai" (1, 2) has been realized presumably recommendations on restaurants in Pattaya is not found here, but with your permission, I would like to dispel the impression might be created, instead Hmtoirim Thailand are worth visiting and visited by them did mistake and wasted his time.
When I had a few years ago, traveling to Phuket framework of gathering information on the Thai tourist guide, many squirmed to get there. sanitaire Finally I gave in, but I decided to rebel a little sanitaire and instead reside in one of the beaches I went to Phuket Town, the county seat located in the center of the island.
Went there for two days continuous rain and yet I really enjoyed the place - unique architecture, lovely cafes in the center of the old town, excellent restaurants and cheap, Chinese temples, markets and even museums. This is definitely a place completely cells, sanitaire a place I could live, I thought way out of town.
Often when I ask people who have visited Thailand where they had been, they say: We did the usual route, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Bangkok. How long? I ask. Every two weeks. Nor was pressed? No, absolutely not. Five days in the north, south and three to five in Bangkok. Objective perspective, the meaning of such a course is between sanitaire three to five days lost, which spend on flights, bargaining with the drivers and lugging bags + three days in Bangkok, that it is quite difficult to relax. Planning is less ambitious in terms of number of destinations and the distance between them can add up to more days utilized for fun and trips.
Attempt to cram as much of the trip is also expressed in the frame on a daily basis. All my attempts to perform two tracks offered me books tourism amounted to pressure, fatigue and frustration. Apparently I'm not alone, sanitaire and many are left with tongue out and break somewhere during the course. However, the publishers believe that if not tuck into a three-day hiking one day, the reader (and especially Israeli reader) feel fooled him. Purpose they are ready to embellish reality, sanitaire but you have already'll meet it when you try to perform the track, which will not necessarily be pleasant .
How much can you enjoy when running from place to place? In my opinion, a two-week sanitaire trip unsolicited cover the South and the North, and do not use internal flights (see earlier post). Home, as mentioned in the trip, the brain tends to suppress any dead moments of waiting is boring, physical suffering, and running errands, but in real time they can cause great distress and aspiration should be reduced to a minimum. This, of course, assuming you want a vacation that will also be relaxed and not be perceived as missing important experiences. On the other hand, do not feel a must visit destination which some tell you that if Haitham it, you would not Thailand. There is no such place in the whole country.
The guiding principle is profit rather than compress. Less long travel sanitaire from place to place, sanitaire the more "Star Tours", which settle in a particular place and go for short walks away. Fewer visits to places that have long lines of tourists and more trips elsewhere, less liabilities to arrive at a specific sanitaire time, and the more general time frame in which there is only one important deadline: the flight back to Israel.
A three-week trip could barely squeeze two destinations (North and South), but it pretty tight and full of running around. Trip of one month and older can start to consider sanitaire domestic flights. In other words, if a shorter trip that is less suited to fly, because flying is a serious pile of dead moments in the trip (Richard Barrow flew from Pattaya to Bangkok and it took as long to drive a car).
What is suitable for a two week trip? First of all must abandon sanitaire the method of multiple-less is more ", and then can decide which part of the country want to go and take a train there. Trains sleep comfort in the evening (from six months to nine or so), and if buying a prepaid card can go straight from the airport to the train station sanitaire (there is a train, Airport link) and drive that night (I did it several times. It easy and pleasant and saves night in a hotel). Be the destination the next morning, after a good sleep and with minimal running around and pilfering. If you have many hours of waiting for the train and you're tired from the flight, sanitaire get a hotel room near the station. All these situations you can prepare yourself in advance - for example check which has affordable hotels within sanitaire walking distance of the train. The bags can be left at the station.
One of the pleasant stroll in Thailand is organizing traveling around an event, and I actually do not mean big events central locations, such as the Thai New Year (Songkram) in Chiang Mai or Bangkok Bkwasn but festivals, sanitaire local fairs and festivals, such as Festival Con Te According to Blau, Balls of Fire Festival in Nong Kai, Surin Elephant Festival and more.
This method works great in reverse. When you arrive somewhere, check the calendar Thai / Buddhist and relevant sites. sanitaire If there is an event, look where it occurs. Fairs and festivals of different fruits throughout the year are held all over Thailand. If you're in town and see a banner over the road, look for the numbers on the banner - usually those dates of the event - and try to get there.
Once you set out the areas Hmtoirim will discover the real prices of Thailand (Robin Eckhardt from Eating Asia shocked the prices of intangibles), but you'll have to forget the parallel teaching common tourist guides sanitaire - to bargain for everything. If you Bkawasn, a reasonable chance do you fund and the seller has nowhere to fall. But in small towns and markets in non Mtoirim prices are inflated and margins of traders is low, so you can bargain only if you buy several items in the same place. The food or the price of a room per day did not bargain ever, anywhere in Thailand. One can discuss the rate if renting it weekly or more.
Sometimes cocoons hidden in unexpected places. When you provide sanitaire laundry facilities, check the prices that often the best mgr this section
