Three Things You Should See in Thailand

Thailand’s charm, warmth, beautiful attractions, and historical sites will leave you in awe when visiting this Southeast Asian country. It is one of the most popular tourist and backpacking destinations in the world and the country has just come to grips with operating the tourist industry. It is highly recommended that you visit these three attractions while in Thailand.

• The Similan Islands in the Phang Nga Province is about a 90-minute speedboat trip from Phang Nga or an eight-hour slow boat trip from Phuket. The Similan Islands was named a national marine park in 1982 and remains largely underdeveloped. The water in the area is filled with tropical fish, beautiful coral, and great underwater visibility. The diving in the Similan Islands is excellent to say the least.
• Another set of islands close by to Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands is a classical tropical getaway that you would normally see on a postcard. While visiting the Phi Phi Islands, you will see beautiful rock formations, lush vegetation, clear water teaming with marine life, and beautiful beaches. The Phi Phi Islands attract hundreds of visitors per day.
• Ayutthaya, north of Bangkok, was the prosperous trade and political capital four hundred years ago. It is now a plundered, abandoned, and burned ruin of a city. What remains is the beautiful architecture of a once vibrant city. The temple and palace are what remains of the city, and they serve as a reminder of what was once an impressive city.

Tomas Rekem loves to travel and recently spent time in Southeast Asia. Thailand was one of his many destinations.

Three Things to Remember While Traveling in Bali

Bali is the most visited tourist destination in Indonesia and is one of the more popular tourist destinations in all of Southeast Asia. The tourist industry is thriving in Bali, thus the resorts, activities, and needs of tourists are easily met. Bali is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Southeast Asia and is a must go to if you are in this region of the world. Here are three things to consider while traveling in Bali.

• Bring toilet wipes and paper with you when you leave less touristy areas. Local restrooms do not have toilet paper supply. It is also advisable to bring hand sanitizer wherever you go because a lot of the smaller local restaurants do not have soap in their bathrooms. You don’t need to pack these items because they can easily be purchased in local supermarkets.
• Bali Belly is when you have an upset stomach from drinking the water and eating the local cuisine. This is normal when you travel, especially due to the change in diet. Bali Belly can be avoided if you avoid tap water, brush your teeth with bottled water, and always wash your hands before you eat a meal.
• Do not buy any drugs when you are in Bali. Often the men that are peddling drugs on the street are working in connection with the police, and they will arrest you once you agree to buy from them. They will hope you provide them with a significant bribe, or you could end up with a lengthy prison sentence in an Indonesian prison. Avoid drinking locally made alcohol, as it has been known to cause some deaths.

Tomas Rekem is an adventurous type who loves to travel. He recently spent some time in Southeast Asia and Bali was one of his stops.
