Thailand
is a large and beautiful country in South-East
Asia, about a 3 hour plane ride from India. With
world renowned food, a beautiful tropical climate, an exotic and fascinating
culture and very well-known beaches, Thailand is a magnet for travelers the
world over. Thailand is absolutely the most popular tourist destination in
South-East Asia, and for a very good reason. You can find almost anything for
anyone here: thick green jungle, beautifully tranquil, almost crystal blue
beaches that actually feel more like a warm bath than you're swimming in the
ocean, and food that you will not find anywhere else the world over. Exotic yet
safe and very largely free of problems, quite cheap while still equipped with
every modern amenity you could need or want, there is something for anyone of
every interest and budget. With beach front backpacker bungalow, and some of the
best and most luxurious hotels the world over, everyone can find something in
this extremely exotic and beautiful country. And even with its heavy flow of
tourism, Thailand still manages to retain its extremely rich heritage, with a
culture and history all its own.
Thailand is mostly a tropical country, so it's almost always hot and humid all
year round, with temperatures usually in the range of 82-95°F. The only relief
is provided in the mountains in the far north of Thailand, where temperatures
are much cooler. But keep in mind when planning a trip to Thailand that there
are three very distinct seasons in this beautiful country. From about November
to the end of February, it really doesn't rain much and temperatures are
actually at their lowest. Although you won't really notice the difference in the
southern portion of the country, you will need to pack for colder weather if you
decide to head to the northern mountains, so pack accordingly for your planned
itinerary. This is the most popular time to visit, and due to this fact,
especially around Christmas and New Year's, finding flights and accommodation
can be expensive and difficult unfortunately. From March to June though,
Thailand is in an absolute uproar of heat while temperatures can get as high as
104°F. From July to October tropical monsoons hit most of the country, although
these storms usually only truly get underway in about September. Be careful
during this season, for while it may not rain non-stop, when it does rain,
flooding is not uncommon in any manner what so ever.
Getting around Thailand is fairly easy, thanks to the fact that the State
Railway of Thailand has a 4000-km network that covers most of the country.
Compared to buses, most trains are actually relatively slow, but also a lot
safer, so choose wisely on how you decide to get around. Fares depend on the
type of the train, or speed that it travels, and the class of travel you decide
upon. Travel by train is the most highly recommended way of travel in Thailand
for visitors, and is said to be much safer than driving through the country.
Pre-booking is heavily recommended, especially if you plan on getting a room on
the train you can sleep in. Check out travel agencies as well, many of them will
spare you the troubles of having to travel to the
station to buy tickets, usually for a modest service fee.
