THAILAND

BANGKOK:-
The capital city of Thailand is one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities, known as "Krungthep" which means the City of Angels. Major tourism attractions include glittering Buddhist temples, palaces, timeless 'Venice of the East' canal and river scenes, classical dance extravaganzas, an almost legendary nightlife, and numerous air-conditioned shopping centers.

PATTAYA:-
Is 147 kilometers southeast of Bangkok, and faces the Thai Gulf. It is Asia's premier beach resort, and caters with equal appeal to families, couples and single visitors. Pattaya's relaxing tropical ambience is synonymous with every ingredient for memorable holidays.

Islands:
Around Pattaya are some small offshore islands, which have beautiful beaches, clear water, and coral. You can reach the islands either by taking a tour, which includes for example, snorkelling, or hire a boat from the promenade or pier at South Pattaya. Costs vary according to your bargaining skills, destination and the type of boat.
Koh Larn :
Ko Larn or Coral Island, 45 minutes offshore by tourist boat or 15 minutes by speed boat, is the largest of Pattaya's offshore islands. Major attractions include sightseeing tours along coral reefs viewing from a glass-bottomed boat, snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, skiing, and parasailing. There are a lot of seafood restaurants on the island's main beaches. Deep sea fishing can be arranged to Ko Larn's neighboring islands such as Ko Phai and Ko Sak. Good for a day out.

DO’S & DON’TS

Thailand is generally an extremely safe place to stay. But, as with every other big city, there are some people who are more than happy to ruin your holiday. These tips and advice will help ensure your trip is trouble-free:
Always lock your hotel room and keep valuables in a safe where possible
Don't carry more cash with you than you will need
Avoid walking along the beach late at night
Never agree to go with anyone offering to sell discounted jewellery - it's a con!
Expect to pay more than the locals for rides in the vans that run around town
Do not take any drugs here - Thais have the death penalty for those who disobey .
If you rent a vehicle then be careful, Thais rarely pay attention to road rules!
Only take out what money you think you’ll need and leave your wallet and cards in a safe at your hotel.
When it comes to religion, Thailand is over-whelmingly Buddhist, and many traditions reflect that. Whenever you enter a temple, cover up. Every sacred place requires you to remove your shoes before entering, and some temples provide clothes so you don't go in showing any leg.
SHOPPING TIPS
If ever there was a time for shopping in Bangkok it is now. With amazing discounts at most stores in Thailand, you can find everything that you are looking for at exceptional prices. Bangkok is famous for pirated goods, but have a look around first, sometimes you can buy the original at cheaper or for just slightly higher prices than on the street. Below you will find a whole world of information about shopping in Bangkok whether it is for computer products, clothes or fake merchandise,
Patpong Night Market offers a wide range of fake goods such as watches, clothes, bags etc. Located in the heart of Patpong (skytrain station Saladaeng), with Bangkok's famous bars on either side this night market offers many distractions, and perhaps an excuse for many to visit this famous night spot. Haggling is expected, and to be honest unless you really want to go to Patpong we would recommend the Night Bazaar mentioned below.
Emporium Sukhumvit Soi 26, is an excellent shopping centre and was for many years the best in Bangkok, it has a cinema, and a lot of quality designer wear. They also have an excellent food court at ridiculously cheap prices, which offers diners a lovely view over the adjacent small park. They regularly have very good sales, which are always worth checking out with discounts anywhere from 15 - 80% off at times.
Bobae is a wholesale market, which offers mainly clothes and textiles. Items can be bought at very cheap prices in bulk.
