A Royal Visits Thailand's Royal Phuket Marina

2009-06-02T20:33:00.001-07:00

Britain's Princess Eugenie, daughter of the Duke & Duchess of York and granddaughter of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, was the latest in a line-up of high profile guests visiting Thailand's premier 'luxury lifestyle resort community' the Royal Phuket Marina over the recent Easter holiday weekend. Pictured (second from left), the young princess was accompanied by four friends for lunch and a boat trip around Phuket's famous Phang Nga Bay which is renowned for its iconic James Bond Island which featured in the 'Man with the Golden Gun' with Roger Moore, as well as Phi Phi Island which appeared in the film The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Princess Eugenie and her friends were guests of marina developer Gulu Lalvani, a close friend of the British royal family. The tycoon founder of Binatone, the world's second largest manufacturer of digital cordless phones, is partly based in London and features regularly on the Financial Times' annual Rich List. Princess Eugenie, 19, is the second daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York. She is on a gap year before university, having completed her A-levels at Britain's prestigious Marlborough College. Royal Phuket Marina is becoming a magnet for the world's celebrities and socialites looking to escape the limelight and enjoy the idyllic lifestyle of Phuket. Gulu Lalvani recently welcomed tennis star Martin Navratilova while his Christmas guest list included Hong Kong entrepreneur and Shanghai Tang founder Sir David Tang, model Kate Moss, British heiress and fashion icon Daphne Guinness, London property tycoon Nick Candy, Louis Vuitton CEO Yves Carcelle and Japanese designer Kenzo. Located on Phuket's eastern seaboard overlooking scenic Phang Na Bay, Royal Phuket Marina is Thailand's first world-class luxury lifestyle community rivaling top marina resort communities in Europe and the Caribbean. It was developed by tycoon Gulu Lalvani, founder of Binatone, the world's second largest manufacturer of digital cordless phones, whose vision is to promote Phuket as a world class yachting hub in one of the world's most scenic and assessable locations. Royal Phuket Marina has become a popular entertainment and lifestyle hub with open air restaurants and bars overlooking mega yachts moored in the Mediterranean-style marina. Following the successful completion and sale of Phase I with its luxury condominiums and penthouses, Royal Phuket Marina has just completed its unique 'Aquaminium' penthouse apartments which come complete with their own integral boat berth as well as a series of ultra luxury private villas, also with private berths, which complete Phase II of the complex. More than half of the Royal Phuket Marina development is devoted to leisure, shopping, recreation, and dining set amidst landscaped gardens overlooking the 350-berth marina.

New A380 Emirates service to Bangkok presents hope for Thailand's tourism sector Tourist arrivals from the Middle East to Thailand are expected

2009-06-02T20:25:00.000-07:00

Tourist arrivals from the Middle East to Thailand are expected to dramatically increase following the launch of a daily A380 Emirates service to Suvarnabhumi Airport on June 1. This launch reflects how much the airline expects visitors to increase to Thailand,กฑ said Chumpol Silpa-archa, Thailandกฏs Tourism and Sports Minister, during a meeting with the chairman of the Emirates Group, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Maktoum, at the Arabian Travel Mart in Dubai. The Emirates chairman confirmed that Emirates would begin operating its Dubai-Bangkok service on schedule. Typically, superjumbos are reserved for long-haul flights only, and the Dubai-Bangkok flight, with a duration of six hours, is considered short-haul. Thailand's tourism minister said that other international airports in the country, including Chiang Mai and Phuket, were prepared to extend services to Emirates as well. Emirates' A380 aircraft is configured to carry 489 passengers and features luxurious facilities including lounges, flat beds, shower spas and massage-equipped suites in the first class cabin. Business class passengers are provided with a new generation in seating known as intelligent seats and with flat beds. Deputy Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Juthaporn Rerngronasa, said that the daily service from Dubai was a hopeful sign for the country's tourism sector.

Phanom Rung and Muang Tam, Thailand

2009-03-16T23:49:00.000-07:00

Prasaat Phanom Rung and Muang Tam are located in Buriram.Prasaat Phanom Rung is one of the most significant Khmer monuments in Thailand. It was built in the 10th-13th century A.D. Phanom Rung was a Hindu Saivite (Shiva) monastery. Sculptures also present images of Vishnu. A processional way leads through Naga bridges to the main sanctuary. Lintels, pediments depict the Hindu Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, with also scenes of the Ramayana. The most famous lintel (Vishnu Anantasayin) depicts Vishnu reclining on the back of the Naga King Ananta. This lintel disappeared for many years outside the country, but was recently returned.The setting of Phanom Rung is quite scenic, with views of the countryside all around. The site is probably the most visited Khmer monument in Thailand. If you want it quieter, be sure to arrive before 10 A.M.Muang Tam ('low city') is located nearby, and is worth a visit all by itself. Around its main structure, five 'brick' towers and ponds with lotus flowers are present. There is not much supervision and school children seem to use the area as a playing ground.

Lopburi

2009-03-16T23:46:00.001-07:00

Lopburi is located 150 km north of Bangkok. It houses interesting historical monuments and a national museum with lots of archaeological finds.Lopburi had its greatest days during the Ayudhaya period, when King Narai the Great made the city his second capital. A lot of diplomatic activity with western nations took place at Lopburi during that time. Below you will find images of archaeologic finds in the Lopburi area. Prior to the Ayudhaya period, Lopburi was a provincial capital of the Khmer empire, and this is reflected in statues and architecture.The city is presently also known for its monkey colonies. They are present by the hundreds at Phra Prang Sam Yod, probably ruining the monument in the process. Phra Sri Mahathat is located on a large compound, housing many chedis and smaller prangs.

Lamphun

2009-03-16T23:40:00.000-07:00

Lamphun can be reached in a little bit more than half an hour from Chiangmai, and makes for a worthy half day trip. Lamphun was the centre of a small Haripunchai settlement (Mon culture), and remained independent from both the Khmer and the Thais for a considerable time(750-1281) The main attraction are Wat Phra That Haripunchai and Wat Chama Thewi. The buildings are Haripunchai style and centuries old, though most of it was not built during the Haripunchai area proper, but in later years. Interesting, different style of temple. Both mentioned temples are fairly active and further expanding.

Images of Kanchanaburi (bridge over River Kwai)

2009-03-16T23:31:00.000-07:00

Kanchanaburi is located about 130 km west of Bangkok. Its environment is rather pleasant with quite a few rivers, and pleasant river resorts. One of the major attractions to foreigners is the bridge over the river Kwai, immortalized in the movie of the same name. The bridge is still standing, part of it original (it was destroyed after all during the war). Closeby are the Allied War Cemeteries, and the JEATH war museum. Many, both locals and prisoners of war, perished in constructing the railway from Thailand to Burma, needed as a supply line for their troops during WW II by the Japanese.

SNAKE FARM

2009-01-15T05:24:00.000-08:00

Thailand, being a tropical country, abounds with snakes of great varieties, poisonous as well as harmless. Each year a large number of casualties are caused by venomous snakebite. Therefore the Thai Red Cross Society deemed it necessary to establish a snake farm to keep different poisonous snakes for venom collection in order to produce antivenine sera for treatment of snake poisoning. Dr. L. Robert, the first director of the Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute, received contributions from foreigners residing in this country, and with the money collected, a snake farm was built in the premises of the Institute. This was the second snake farm established in the world and was officially opened on November 22, 1923. The Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute constitutes the Science Division of the Thai Red Cross Society which was formerly named Pasteur Institute. The main function of the Institute is the manufacture of vaccines and sera. The snake farm is an attraction in Bangkok for tourists from all parts of the world. It is visited by scientists, educational bodies and distinguished visitors. Different kinds of poisonous snakes found in the country are kept for venom extraction which is demonstrated to the public at scheduled hours. These venomous snakes are brought in alive by snakecatchers who are farmers by profession and they are paid for at prices according to size and species. Poisonous snakes found in Thailand are Cobra, King Cobra, Banded Krait, Russell's Viper, a few species of Pit Vipers and some species of Sea Snakes. Numerous kinds of snakes other than mentioned above, though common in this country are not of importance to human lives because they are slightly poisonous or nonpoisonous. Their bites often cause alarm but generally are not dangerous.

Thai airlines

2008-09-10T19:30:00.000-07:00

Bangkok Airways promotes itself as "Asia's Boutique Airline", and has a monopoly on flights to its own airports at Ko Samui, Sukhothai and Trat. Their Discovery Airpass with fixed per segment rates can be good value, especially if used to fly to Siem Reap (Cambodia) or Luang Prabang (Laos). Note that the Discovery Airpass can now only be purchased from abroad.Hua Hin Air Shuttle is currently the only passenger carrier offering regular flights to/from Hua Hin Airport.Jetstar Asia Airways is a newer budget airline with some good deals. Keep in mind the price displayed in your search results is only the base fare, additional "taxes and fees" mean the true price will be appreciably higher.Nok Air took to the skies in 2004 sporting a lurid purple paint scheme with a bird's beak painted on the nose, and employing a price scheme similar to that of Air Asia. It is a join-partnership of more than 8 partners. The major shareholders are Thai Airways International (Thai: การบินไทย), Siam Commercial Asset Co.,Ltd, The Crown Property Bureau, etc. Nok Air planes are leased from and maintain by Thai Airways International using the same standard of safety.Passenger can make booking directly at http://www.nokair.com/, call-center Tel-1318 or at the airports. Payment can be made via credit card, counter service, 7-11, or online credit card. Those who make the booking online can choose the seating right after the purchase.Currently, they fly to a number of domestic destinations ;i.e., Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Phuket, Nakorn Sri Thammarat, Udon Thani,Trang, Krabi, Loei and the new routes are Chiang Mai - Pai and Chiang Mai – Prae which cooperated with SGA.One-Two-Go (part of Orient Thai Airlines) is a low-cost brand with 1-3 flights daily to a handful of domestic destinations. Their punctuality record is notoriously bad; the 747-100s they use are flying museum pieces (but mean there's usually room to spare); and their ticketing counters can be chronically congested (one-hour queues are not unusual, but if you just want to hop on the next flight, you can head to the express ticketing counter at check-in not less than 40 minutes before departure).PB Air flies domestically to Lampang, Nan, Mae Hong Son, Roi Et, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Buriram, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and also to Danang (Vietnam).Thai AirAsia is a budget airline offering discounted tickets if booked well in advance, but prices rise steadily as planes fill up. They fly from Bangkok to a number of places domestically, as well as Cambodia, China and Macau, Malaysia (including Kota Kinabalu in Borneo), Myanmar, Singapore, and Vietnam. Keep in mind the price displayed in your search results is only the base fare, additional "taxes and fees" mean the true price will be appreciably higher. On-line booking is straightforward but must be done at least twenty-four hours in advance; ticket sales at the check-in desk close one hour before the departure time.Thai Airways is the most reliable and frequent Thai airline, but also the most expensive. Unusually, little to no discount is given for flying return. Travel agents can usually sell only THAI Airways tickets; you can also book on-line.Thai Sky Airlines flies to Incheon (Seoul, South Korea) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).Tiger Airways is another newer budget airline with prices that beat AirAsia's. Keep in mind the price displayed in your search results is only the base fare, additional "taxes and fees" mean the true price will be appreciably higher.

Five of the best Christmas markets

2008-12-09T03:52:00.000-08:00

Miss the high-street mayhem and head to one these traditional Christmas markets to stock up on all your festive needs. 1. Budapest Budapest exudes romance throughout the Christmas season, with twinkling lights and snow-blanketed squares setting the scene. The biggest market is at Vőrősmarty Square and is the only one to hold an official certificate from the Hungarian Society of Folk Arts & Crafts, meaning that all of the products sold at the market have to be handmade and traditional. Visitors can pick up wrought-iron candlesticks, tree decorations, brightly painted wooden toys and glassware, all in the shadow of the snow capped Buda hills. Get into the festive spirit with a touch of ice skating in the Városliget city park or relax in the open-air Széchenyi Baths. The festivities kick off on November 29 and stalls open from 9am until late daily.For more accommodation and travel information see our Budapest city guide. 2. Copenhagen Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens embrace the absolute essence of Christmas. Europe's first amusement park opens its gardens each December with throngs of brightly painted stalls selling all manner of festive accoutrement from hand-carved angels, to candles and wooden dolls. Try a glass of glogg (mulled wine with liquor and spices) or aebleskiver (hot apple dumplings). Rides are still open during the day, however it's after dark when the Christmas charm comes to life as the park glitters with thousands of lights and knit-clad ice skaters glide around the lake. The market is running until December 28 and opens from 11am until late daily.For more accommodation and travel information see our Copenhagen city guide. 3. Barcelona Each year since 1786 Barcelona's glittering Fira de Santa Llúcia market kicks off on December 13. The gothic cathedral and its surrounding cobbled streets become entrenched in the Christmas spirit with stalls selling handmade artefacts and nativity scenes carved out of clay. The Catalan-inspired fair adds a quirky twist to the traditional festivity, with figurines of the defecating caganer (‘Christmas Crapper') - fashioned in all its squatting glory. The tradition dates back to the 18th century and the bizarre statues are thought to symbolise hope and fertility for the coming year. The market is open until Christmas Eve from 10am-8pm daily.For more accommodation and travel information see our Barcelona city guide. 4. Vienna Christmas is serious business for the Viennese, with the inhabitants of the Austrian capital opting for traditional and refined rather than tacky and commercial. In fact, they have completely outlawed the notion of red-suited Santa Claus and have created their own icon - Weiner Christkindl, a blond-locked maiden. In homage to the city's creation, the Christkindlmarkt opens on November 15 in Rathausplatz. Looming over the square is the neo-gothic building of the town hall, which opens its numbered curtains one by one in advent calendar fashion. On sale are beeswax candles, decorations and wooden toys, as well as warming drinks and kitsch charms.For more accommodation and travel information see our Vienna city guide. 5. Berlin With around 60 markets across the city, Berlin does Christmas full pelt. The most popular market is the one around the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche, which attracts around four million visitors each year. Around 100 stalls cluster around the Memorial Church, selling traditional arts and crafts as well as more radical artworks from some of the city's cutting-edge artists and designers. The interesting collection of antique and contemporary jewellery make perfect Christmas gifts.For more accommodation and travel information see our Berlin city guide. Best of the rest: Tallinn - Grab some quirky hand-knitted jumpers and juniper wood toys from one of the 50 stalls in the Town Hall Square.London - Borough Market on London's Southbank may not technically be a Christmas market (since it's a year round fixture), but it does conjure the festive vibe with the scent of mulled wine and holly-strewn stalls. Pick up all your food treats, from hand-reared meats to artisan cheeses.Nuremberg - The Nuremberg Christmas market is the best known in Germany. Around 200 stalls are crammed into the cobbled square beneath the gothic church of Frauenkirche. Author: Caroline Cullern

nternational Hot Air Balloon Festival (Festival Internacional del Globo)

2008-12-09T03:50:00.000-08:00

Ao Nang Krabi

2008-11-06T18:24:00.000-08:00

Many tourists when talking about Krabi think of a province where collect more than 100 attractive islands. Anyway, not only islands, the coasts of Krabi also look great, such as Ao Railay, and Ao Nang. Though not as fantastic as Ao Raylay, Ao Nang is a favorite place of Krabi tourists as many businesses-restaurants, bars, banks, travels agencies, etc.-are located there. Besides sun-bathing and swimming in dawn, you can hang out with friends in such restaurants and bars in dusk. What you can eat here is varied, from sea food, Italian food to McDonald! If you are too lazy to find other restaurants, you can have a meal from the hotel you stay as most of hotels also have their own restaurants with not much different costs from other restaurants. Hotels and resorts here have many classes, from 150 baht to 9,900 (approximately). The transportation is quite comfortable. Tourists may get a service from a public mini bus in a reasonable price, (well, I can't say it's cheap but it's acceptable in a tourist area) or a taxi in a higher cost to be more comfortable. Another choice for tourist is renting a motorcycle, only 200 baht a day, then you can travel around the beach, also other tourist places. To go to islands: Phi Phi Island, Bamboo Island, Chicken Island, and others, You can buy a package tour from loads of travel agencies. It's very comfortable as you have many choices-private tour or public, boats or speed boats-of course, different choices have different costs. These prices include scubas fruits and other comforts for tourists. In case of going to islands of Krabi by yourself, there're boats of local people waiting for you on the beach. The cost of living in Ao Nang is quite high as it's a business area like Pattaya or Patong Beach in Phuket. As a result, some native tourists may complain about high prices of food or services (even McDonald is more expensive than in Bangkok). This maybe one thing tourists who are planning to travel in Ao Nang should know. The guards in front of the Palace attract tourist with their calmness, stillness and a deep feeling how aggressive they are suppose to be, make the Palace appear so important. At some point, I think they enjoy it when they are on duty.

Jazz in Bangkok

2008-11-06T18:21:00.000-08:00

For jazz lovers, they must have been waiting for their bigwig "Hua Hin Jazz Festival." We believe all of them who were in the festival must have enjoyed and had a great time. If you love jazz but many reasons caused you to miss this festival, there are still some cool places in Bangkok where you can actually have your own "jazz-fest" as often as you can! The Ambiance at the Living Room and GRammy Award winning Carmen Bradford "It Simply Swings!" This is all about the Living Room at Sheraton Grande Sukumvit. The venue leads in live jazz performance with nice and comfortable ambience. This high-ceilinged venue provides you comfortable sofas where you can sit back and enjoy the jazzy notes from international jazz musicians every night. In this month from 17th-July 20th, the venue hosts Grammy award-winning jazz diva, Carmen Bradford back again. If you love the classic jazz with vocal, the evening with Carmen Bradford at the Living Room is waiting for you! Bamboo Bar at the Oriental Bangkok Bamboo Bar at the Oriental Bangkok is another place to hear the rhythm of jazz for live performance featuring international jazz vocalist. The venue is decorated in jungle-like style and not too crowded with cozy atmosphere. Now, Bamboo bar welcomes a sultry jazz vocalist Frankye Kelly who will give you a sensational jazz night every Monday till Saturday from March 1st – June 30th. Another venue hosting world's famous jazz singer is the Diplomat Bar at Conrad Bangkok hotel. You can loose yourself with the sound of jazz music as well as the taste of great cocktails among the sophisticated decoration in spacious area. The place is usually crowded on Friday nights so you should make a reservation. The venue currently hosts a talented American pure soul vocalist Ernesta Dunbar who will light up your evening Mondays till Saturdays from April 24th – June 30th. Apart from hotel venues, there is the Saxophone Pub and Restaurant near the Victory Monument. The venue suits those who craze about Jazz and Blues. The place is spacious yet often crowded. It hosts the live Jazz and Blues by the local musicians but skilled as international artists. Comment good nice layout please note i have come to town my name is Tim Hedges from the Tim Hedges jazz trio Spain liked and respected in tenerife canary islands am now taking bookings in Bangkok after just ariving 2 weeks ago i shall be inviting top local musicians including Hong the drummer to back me in concerts in and around Bangkok proper please mail me soon for interviews and a possible booking music is main stream and original latin fusion jazz hedgesjazzpiano@yahoo.co.uk [05 พฤศจิกายน 2551]

Eat

2008-10-29T22:28:00.000-07:00

The food alone is really reason enough for a trip to Thailand. Curries, fruit shakes, stir fries, fresh fish made a zillion ways - and that's just the beginning. Food in Thailand can be as cheap and easy as 20 baht phat thai (Thai fried noodles) cooked at a street stall or as expensive and complicated as a $100 ten-course meal by a royal chef served in one of Bangkok's 5 star hotels. Since most backpackers will be sticking closer to the first than the second, one of the great things about Thailand is that food from stalls and tiny sidewalk restaurants is usually quite safe. Unlike some Asian countries, travellers should worry more about overeating or too much curry spice than about unclean kitchens and bad food. In fact, street restaurants, where you can see what you'll get and everything is cooked on the spot (usually in a pool of germ- and diet-killing vegetable oil) can be a safe option.

Shopping

2008-10-29T22:20:00.000-07:00

Thailand is a shopper's paradise and many visitors to Bangkok in particular end up spending much of their time in the countless markets and malls. Particularly good buys are clothing, both cheap locally produced streetwear and fancy Thai silk, and all sorts of handicrafts. Electronics and computer gear are also widely available, but prices are slightly higher than in Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. A Thai speciality are the night markets found in almost every town, the largest and best-known of which include Suan Lum Night Bazaar in Bangkok and the Night Bazaar in Chiang Mai. Here a variety of vendors from designers to handicraft sellers have stalls selling goods which cannot normally be found in malls and day markets. Most night markets also have large open air food courts attached. You can also find marvelously tacky modern clothing accessories. Witness pink sandals with clear plastic platform heels filled with fake flowers. Night markets along the main roads and Bangkok's Mahboonkrong (MBK) Mall, near the Siam skytrain stop, are particularly good sources. Not to be left out is what is often touted as the world's biggest weekend bazaar - The Chatuchak Weekend Market [25] or knowned to locals simply as "JJ" Market. Chatuchak sells a myriad of products ranging from clothes to antiques, covers over 35 acres (1.1 km square) and is growing by the day! Haggling is the norm and often market and road-side vendors will try to charge you as much as they think you can afford to pay. It's not uncommon to buy something, walk outside, and find somebody who bought the same item for half or one third what you paid (or even less). Try to figure out the item's rough value first — adjacent stalls, government-run fixed price shops and even hotel gift shops are a good starting point — and you'll find that prices drop drastically when the seller realizes you have some idea of what it costs.
