Thailand Holidays

In the last few years, more and more people have been heading for the Far East in order to enjoy a memorable holiday taking in the unique sights and sounds of the region The difference between the culture of Europe and America and countries in the Far East such as China, Thailand, and Malaysia is profound, and the experience of visiting these destinations really can be life changing in many ways

In the last few years, more and more people have been heading for the Far East in order to enjoy a memorable holiday taking in the unique sights and sounds of the region. The difference between the culture of Europe and America and countries in the Far East such as China, Thailand, and Malaysia is profound, and the experience of visiting these destinations really can be life changing in many ways.

One of the most popular destinations in the region is Thailand, and people travel from all over thee world in order to enjoy the many different experiences on offer.

Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand, and it is one of the most impressive cities in the world. It is a place that combines the traditions of the country with a modern twist, and blends ancient monuments with shopping malls and plenty of other attractions. Most visitors to Thailand will spend at least a few days exploring Bangkok as part of their time in the country, and this provides an excellent introduction to the pleasures of the country. Make sure you visit the Grand Palace with its breath taking sculptures and the various different temples that are located within the same complex.

Aside from the gilded temples and shopping malls, Bangkok is also well known for its nightlife. Patpong Road is the centre of the action in the city, and aside from the night market that operates throughout the week there are countless bars to explore during your stay.

Once the pace of life in Bangkok becomes too much for you and you are ready to relax on the beach, Thailand has a number of options available to you. Pattaya is on the Gulf of Thailand around two hours south of the city. It has a reputation for great nightlife, but the beaches are pleasant although a little crowded at the weekend. The town has plenty of attractions, but is not always seen as the best destination for families, as the nightlife can be a bit racy.

For a more refined and laid back holiday in Thailand, why not consider visiting Cha Am or Hua Hin on the other coast of the country. These quieter destinations offer plenty of space to relax and unwind, and are great for families. There are several spa retreat type hotels in the area, and these are ideal for anyone keen on relaxing and enjoying their time.

The islands of Thailand such as Koh Samui, Krabi, and Phuket have long attracted travellers from all over the world with their beauty. Phuket is probably the most developed destination in the country, and offers an extensive range of hotels to suit all budgets. The main town has some exciting nightclubs and a good range of shops and the white sand beaches are amongst the most attractive in the country.

Aside from beaches and cities, Thailand also offers a range of inland destinations including Chiang Mai that give visitors the chance to see the more traditional Thai way of life including the famous hill tribes, and also a number of elephant sanctuaries.

How to survive holidays with babies

Taking a small baby on holiday can be a big operation - especially if you plan to pass through an airport and check into a hotel.

Make things easy for yourself and take a break in a self-catering property in the West Country - just hop in the car with all your parental paraphernalia then spread out, unwind and keep to your own schedule in your own cottage. There are plenty of coastal and countryside properties in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, including many comfortable retreats for families with babies and young children.

Here are Classic Cottages' Top Ten Tips for stress-free post-baby breaks on your holiday:

1. Avoid the airport hassle of lengthy check-ins and security procedures - enough to test the patience of an adult let alone a little one - with a West Country break.

2. Don't pack yourselves into a hotel room - enjoy the space afforded by your own cottage.

3. Take your holiday at your own pace and make your own plans, whatever your mood (or your baby's).

4. Don't worry about the neighbours - there are many secluded properties where there's no-one your baby can wake up with 2am screaming.

5. Take advantage of excellent kitchen facilities to cater for your baby's every need, whatever the hour. By going self catering you won't be tied to rigid hotel dining arrangements.

6. There's no need to bring a cot - most properties have one and many come with additional facilities such as high-chairs or stair-gates - but you can check when you book.

7. The West Country is the perfect place to recharge the batteries - if you're relaxed, the chances are your baby will be too.

8. Convenient use of a washing machine is invaluable to keep your baby in fresh clothes - so remember to check there is one available.

9. Bring along a family member or friend to help out - there is a huge selection of properties of different sizes online for you to choose from.

10. Haven't organised a passport for little Johnny or Jessica yet? That's something else you don't need to worry about with a holiday in SouthWest Britain.

Convinced yet? Why not have a look at what's on offer in the region in terms of things to do, and places to visit with this useful Somerset Guide.
