Thailand - 5 Reasons To Visit Amazing Thailand

1. Astonishing Beaches and Islands
Phi Phi Island is Thailand’s Superstar Island. It has been in several movies. Just a short 45-minute from Phuket will transport you to this breathtaking island. Hop on to this tropical paradise and you will feel like a “superstar” when you imagine the scene from Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie – ”The Beach.”

2. Majestic Sunset
Popular beaches in Thailand can be found in Krabi. And you definitely don’t want to miss the beautiful sunset while staying in Phi Phi Ley Island in Maya Bay. You’ll get this amazing view of complete serenity. Smell the ocean breeze as the sun put itself to rest.

3. Thailand is Affordable
Accommodation in Thailand is pretty much affordable. When you look for the perfect travel destination, you would want to consider your budget. You ask yourself: How many places can you visit?, How much money will it cost you to buy that yummy Pad Thai? Where are the best treks? The best beaches?. You can spend 5 days in Thailand for prices starting from $490 per person.

4. Sumptuous Thai Street Food
You got a dollar? You got a meal. You point at a weird- looking random dish having no idea how would it taste.And you have that hesitant look on your face. That’s the whole point. It’s an experience,it’s surprising, and it’s tasty!

5. It will make you feel like King
Elephant riding has to be at the top of the list when visiting Thailand. Sitting atop these well-trained elephants is a great ride! They’re truly wonderful creatures. The cost of elephant rides depends on the distance you trek. That shirtless guy in the pic is Joemar. His ride costs him 700 Baht for just 30 minutes.

Keep in mind that there are dozens more reasons why to visit Thailand

Keep them coming, gotta convince my wife this is the place to go!

Might I ask, what are the reasons that are keeping her from not wanting to come?

Dear Original Poster:

Please come clean on what tour agency or hotel you represent.

No responsible independent traveler would be shilling for a dump like Phi Phi island, or recommending "pad thai" as their great example of Thai food. Elephant riding at the top of the list of to-dos? Maybe if you're 8 years old.

Hmm.....

I like #1, but they should have added, "unless there is a huge flood." ;)

Might I ask, what are the reasons that are keeping her from not wanting to come?

-Still thinks that Miles/Points are a scheme to rip her off. Never mind that we have flights and rooms reserved.
-White knuckle flier. The thought of a TPAC scares her.
-She is more of a US/Eurocentric kind of gal, whereas I have traveled in the Middle East and to four African counties and love it all.

She just doesn't get why we should go to Asia. I have promised her a trip to Greece in a couple of years. That calmed her down.

But my wife read this and liked it. It got her thinking that maybe Thailand is a good place to go. Ridiculous? Yes.:rolleyes: But it worked.

Shhhhh!! The internet (and downloads of The Beach :) ) is a big part of why PhiPhi/Phucket/AoNang are now how they are. I say let folks go to these places and keep the non-phuck'd places to ourselves for as long as possible. That being said it's only a matter of time these days once a place is "discovered". Burma is looking interesting.
