8 Reasons To Visit Thailand

Thailand, a land where exciting can be the word used to describe this country in Asia.
I have been there once in 2013 and I am looking forward to go there again for the amazing food , shopping.

It is one of the hottest travel destinations in Southeast Asia.
Many Malaysians like to go there because it is affordable.

However, recent travellers have been reluctant to visit the country due to the countries internal issues with military taking over the government and other issues that might scare travellers heading there for some time.

Due to this situation, the visitors to Thailand dropped almost 25%.
Despite the turmoil, there are still tourist who head to Thailand because it is truly a great place for a holiday.

Here are 8 Reasons Why You Should Visit Thailand


Warm Thai People
One of the greatest selling point when it comes to a country is the people and in Thailand, you will find them to be welcoming to visitors.

Learn a few Thai words and you could break the ice and see a smile on the face of the locals.
I remember getting help from a stranger with ease.
Now this is very important because friendliness could help you out if you a travelling without a guide.
Nevertheless, you should still be aware of scam artist or pickpockets when you are in crowded places.


Exciting Nightlife

If you are a person who likes nightlife, you will be in for a lot of fun.
In Thailand, they have abundance of nightspots.
Live music, bars, dance clubs, beach parties etc.
You name it, they have it.
You just need to look for it.


Heritage Value

The heritage side of Thailand is also a great attraction for tourist.
The nation has a rich history and you will be able to feel it when you are there.
Their earliest ruins are date from as early as the 8th century.


Culture
The culture is Thailand is unlike their neighbouring countries.
It is a country that has never been colonised by the European.

With this, the nation is able to endure their national pride and vibrant culture till today.
Buddhism is one of the main religion and throughout times, this teaching has reflected in their society as the country is filled with heart warming  and easy going people.


Food Food Food.......
One of the biggest attraction for me is the food that you can taste in Thailand.
Their cuisine is one of a kind and not expensive if you compare it to our country.
Their flavours range from spicy, salty, sour and sweet.
A definite must when you are in Thailand is to head to their night market where the food is the best and most affordable.

Establish food restaurants will also deliver authentic Thai food.
I remember tasting a baked fish from a stall on the side of the road...
It was so tasty, I almost finish one entire fist on my own. ( the fish was 25cm long).
And I had it for 2 nights in a row ...

Nice Beaches
We do have some of the best beaches in Malaysia but the beaches in Thailand are great too.
They get visitors all year round.
You will be able to find all sort of beach activities from jet ski to ATV driving.
Their accommodation offers a wide variety of selection.
You can choose from hotels rooms to chalet and even beach houses.
Anything from budget to luxury ..
A great location for people with any sort of budget.


Shopping !!!

What better place than Thailand to go shopping.
With so many night markets in Thailand, you can shop till you drop.
I remember walking till my legs were crumbling in Thailand.
You can find anything from branded goods to local clothing.
If you are in Bangkok, you can head to their wholesale clothing mall.
Many retail clothing shop owners head there for their stocks.


Easy to get around

Travelling around in Thailand is very easy because they have a comprehensive travelling network.
If you go to Bangkok, you will find that getting from point A to point B is pretty easy.
There are various transportation to choose from.
They have the sky train, taxi, Subway and their famoud Tuk Tuk..
For taxis, just remember to ask if they charge by meter. If they don’t, say thank you and hail the next cab.
For Tuk tuk, makes you you haggle the price with them. Basically, you can get to anywhere within the city for around 100 Baht.


So, if you want an exciting holiday filled with shopping, culture, food and fun, You can strongly consider Thailand...
