Thai New Year

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Songkran Day or Thailand New Year is one of the biggest events in Thailand each year. Thailand must be the only country in the world that actively celebrates 3 different New Years each year! There is the New Year on the 31st of December, then there is the Chinese Lunar New Year that takes normally place in February and there is the Thai New Year itself which is in April each year. There is nothing that compares to the Thailand New Year. Imagine parades, shows, music, lots of people having fun and the biggest water fight in the world! Songkran is a Thai word which means “move” or “change place” as it is the day when the sun changes its position in the zodiac.

Not only tourists, but also investors who want to invest in property in Thailand like to visit Bangkok during the Songkran day and they also take part in these activities. When you are going out during the festival then wear the worst clothes or buy a cheapest one because you are going to be wet for sure. People usually don’t bring their mobile phone and camera when the celebration is on the peak then its very difficult to safe all these things.

Thailand Vacation

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

If you are planning your vacation, you want to consider Thailand. Thailand has become one of the most loved travel destinations in the world. It has many types of landscape on offer. The mountainous regions of the north, the plains in the central, eastern and northeast area, and with southern Thailand offer some of the most attractive beaches and islands on the planet. Thailand’s infrastructure is one of the most modern in the region. Transport, banking, and telecommunications are all excellent and it makes Thailand’s remotest regions convenient and easy to visit. Thailand’s nightlife is legendary and a major attraction for visitors and its restaurants and bars help complete an irresistible package with some of the best cuisine and entertainment available. The numerous galleries and museums housing treasures of bygone ages offer visitors a genuine visual delight.

Thailand’s climate is tropical, high in temperature and humidity, and dominated by monsoons. April and May are the hottest months. June sees the beginning of the South West Monsoon, which continues intermittently until the end of October. From November to the end of February the climate is better, with a cooling North East breeze and a reduction in the humidity level. This is also the main tourist season, and the best time to visit Thailand. The north and north-east are generally cooler than Bangkok in winter, and hotter in summer. Annual rainfall is about 1520 mm in the northern, western, and central regions, about 2540 mm or more on the Thai portion of the Malay Peninsula, and about 1270 mm or less on the Khorat Plateau.
