Most of Phuket’s beaches possess sun loungers for rent. Busy beaches such as Patong, Karon and Kata have a lining consisting of sun loungers covering the entire length of the beach, sometimes in rows three or four deep. At the quieter beaches, they are more sprinkled spaciously. There are a handful of beaches that do not provide sun loungers.

There are a variety of water sports on offer. The busy beaches are a centre of activity with banana boats, parasails and jet skis fizzing across the water. These beaches have designated sections where bathers can swim with safety. You will have to spend from 500 to 1000 baht for these activities. The prices are usually un-negotiable.

Most of Phuket’s beaches are surrounded with trees. There are several species but the two most common seen are palms and casuarinas.

You can see several varieties of palm tree. The most widely seen is the iconic image of tropical beaches – the coconut palm. You will see them everywhere with compelling bunches of coconuts grouped under the wide, feathered leaves. The coconuts are not easy to put your hands at and they will not be too tasty until they have been chilled. You can easily find a local food vendor selling them for 10 to 20 baht each.

Do not rest under coconut trees – an astonishing number of people are injured or killed by detached coconuts. Here is a slightly silly statistic – every year worldwide, the number of people who lose their lives by falling coconuts is much higher than the number killed by shark attacks. Phuketbeaches is the ultimate attraction for enjoyment around the beaches.

I’ve been waiting for the cold season to walk the road to Northern Thailand, knowing for Bangkok is always hot. Province My first goal is to Chiang Rai, is the best province in northern tip of Thailand. The sky was still dark but the watch was 6 o’clock in the morning. On my watch thermometer reads 16 degrees Celsius.

In Chiang Rai, I visited the Mae Fah Luang University (MFU). Incidentally there are about 10 friends from Indonesia who was studying there. Although only established in 1998, the campus is a direct shot into the top ranks of universities in Thailand. With the concept of garden-campus, the university is ‘located’ at the top of the hill is quite fun to learn. In one corner of the campus, there is a unique place to visit, the cultural center of China. This place was built by the government of China as a sign of friendship for MFU has educated thousands of students come from China.

The next trip is to Mai Sae, Thailand’s border areas with Myanmar. Here there are many cheap goods, ranging from t-shirts, bags, shoes, beverages, electronic goods handy craft to Made In China. Because it is cheap, of course, the quality and authenticity of the goods are not guaranteed. From the top of the hill, I could also see a bridge over a small river that separates Myanmar with Thailand. The river is wide, no wider than 10 meters and very shallow. People around the border and pedestrian traffic passing by the State was over this bridge. In a history, told King Naresuan is known as the king who succeeded in expanding the Kingdom of Siam in the year 1555-1650 to wash his feet after the war from Burma (Myanmar) and said “From now on Burma is not a good friend of Thailand”.

Once satisfied with enjoying the scenery and the hills in Myanmar Maesai, I am driven to go to a place that is not less interesting, The Golden Triangle (TGT). TGT is a meeting between the 3 countries, namely Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, which is split by the legendary Mekong River. From here, I can see Myanmar and Laos on the opposite bank

Trip to Kyoto by Shinkansen train quickly cleared for three hours. Shinagawa, Mishama, Hamamatsu, Yokohama, Nagoya, passed quickly. Arriving in Kyoto, a trip to Nara was followed by regular train. The atmosphere at Kyoto Station is much more calm. A seat on the train were not all filled. From behind the window, range of scenery flashed alternately. From the meadow, turned into a row of small houses, changed back to agricultural fields. Colorful flowers begin to burst in the corners of the yard. Spring is arriving soon.

Nara is the entrance to the spread of Buddhism to Japan in the sixth century. A number of temples located in this city to witness how the teaching is achieved glory and lasted until the following milenium. However, in the era of the Meiji Empire, politics entered the area of religion. The emperor’s decision emerged in 1868 that limits Buddhism. Shinto became the only belief that era officially recognized it.

Trajectories was reflected in T?dai-ji Temple. This is a magnet city of Nara. Here there is a giant statue of Buddha that was built during the reign of Emperor Shomu (724-749). T?dai-ji Temple is also believed to be the largest wooden building in the world, who several times had to be rebuilt because it was badly damaged by the quake, fire, and war. Nara is a city park. And, the gardens of the city inhabited hundreds of deer roam freely. They are believed to be incarnations of the gods. Come to the Kasuga Shrine and look sempatkan valuable storage space from the Heian Period (Ages 9-10). All the exhibits have a connection with the legend Kasuga Deity, who arrived in Nara with riding a white deer. The legend set forth in the form of valuable works of art silk paintings, wood carvings, pottery, ceramics, until the war equipment. Everything beratribut deer. Kasuga Shrine is also known as the temple lanterns. There are about 3,000 stone lanterns flanking the entrance to the main building. While building on the temple was filled with rows of bronze and brass lamps. Special ceremony to light a lantern held only twice a year, the beginning of February and mid-August. Can be imagined, when the dark night surrounded Kasuga covered hills, and thousands of lanterns were lit … how beautiful.

Problem improve tourist facilities, the Cambodian government deserved thumbs up. Look at Angkor Wat Temple, which currently has a variety of pampering tourism services. Just imagine, tourists can choose from a variety of means of transportation to get around the temple area. Want to ride an elephant?
Whereas previously, the area around this temple is a pretty dangerous place. If the tourists set out from Phnom Penh, Vietnam, using the boat with the distance in five hours, the ship could have sunk or even shot by the bandits. In fact, the Khmer Rouge troops could be watched from behind a hill. But now, in the vicinity are many established places to play golf and even ice cream restaurant.

Other lodging is so coveted Residence Angkor. This is a boutique hotel with 55 rooms. Which became the attraction of this hotel is, the rooms are made from exotic wood. Hotel is managed by Orient-Express Hotels (OEH) seems well-suited for the tourists from Europe and America. With spa facilities, business center, Victoria Angkor Resort & Spa with 130 rooms, and golf resorts, this place can make welcome anyone who wants to be treated like a king.

Many of the high-end hotels is the end to expand. For example Amanresorts International, owned by a company in Singapore, which has opened the resort 12 class rooms in 2002. In 2006, they opened 12 more rooms per night rate reaches USD700. Uniquely, though his room is designed with a new style, equipment and hotel rooms are full of historical record. For example, guesthouse which once occupied the Thai King Norodom Sihanouk is built into a suite. While the dining room, formerly a place of Norodom and a director to watch a movie.

If you are interested in coming to Cambodia, you should know that most tourists come in high seasonon the month of October to March. In this season, Cambodia’s weather is warmer and dry. Most tourists came from Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, as well as Europe and America who go direct flights from Singapore or Bangkok. Tourists from different continents have to be prepared to be pampered like the Cambodian government for recognition Thong Khon, Cambodia will serve whatever the desire of the tourists.

How not tense, even though the lighting along the road very well, but as far as the eyes look, the left-right that is only paving the dark sand without signs of life. Fortunately, The atmosphere of this sand will change 180 degrees so Dubailand, the largest complex of entertainment centers in the Middle East (perhaps even in the world) opened a few years near this area.

Colors of the land and the natural wood and cool interior design also dominate a room that tends to simple, basic design contrasts with the luxurious hotel Burj Al kinds of other Arab or Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi dominated red, gold and blings. The atmosphere of a traditional Arabic not only reflected in the design of buildings and interior rooms, but also from the activities available at this resort. In the afternoon, we can try  carpet ride camels in the sand around the hotel was extended performance techniques falcon hunting show or traditional Arab Beduin tribes with the eagle. One of the main attractions in this resort are open-air restaurant is named Al Hadheerah. At the restaurant we can enjoy a buffet meal nuances Arabic, accompanied live entertainment such as live Arabic music and Arabic dance.

Because several times already watching the show belly dance, dance for me is Tanoura that most attract attention. This dance is done with the reel as a first-round top, like a dance Darwis (Swirling Dervish) from Turkey. The difference, if Darwis dance is a spiritual dance with the simple costumes and accompanied songs sufistik religious, dance Tanoura which reputedly came from Egypt is a dance with entertainment costumes flake color accompaniment with popular songs.
To enjoy all this really need to dive a bit in the pocket (this is Dubai lho), but if you hold heat like tupperware, no one tried to stay in the dry season (June – September). First, like other hotels in Dubai, fare sale room completely, to about 30% of published rate that normally occur in winter (October-February). Another advantage, considering the level of habitation that generally lower in summer, you can enjoy the facilities the hotel with comfortable, as though the property itself. Do not worry affected heatstroke, because although the air temperature reaches 43 – 45 degrees Celsius in the daytime, at night it tends to cool the air, even more cool than in the city center. This is not necessarily separated from the wilderness character of the temperature difference between day and night was extreme.
