Best Things to Do in Thailand, Beaches Near Bangkok and Andaman
Image : http://www.flickr.comThailand’s white and turquoise beaches, golden Buddhist temples, bloody history and marketplace culture are loved by both end of the travel budget scale. Some visitors just swing though the country on a beeline to the coast, while some take months meandering though; either way Bangkok, nearby beaches and the islands are some of the best things to do in Thailand.
Most visitors to Thailand fly into Bangkok. Bangkok has a reputation for a lot of different things, but most visitors will want to see the temples, eat and shop in the markets and make time to tour the city in a canal, and these are some of the best things to do in Thailand. Unless you’re a fan of your local red light district you might want to swap a trip to the seedy, now touristy, red light district in favour of some cheap pampering elsewhere.
Top things to do in Thailand: Bangkok, includes visits to the Wat Phra Kaew: the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, who is actually made of jade or jasper, the Temple of the Standing Buddha, Wat Traimit: and Wat Benchamabophit: also called the Marble Temple, made all of white, polished Italian marble and both one of Bangkok’s most beautiful and most popular temples. The Grand Palace, the ornate European building with the Thai style roof made famous by ‘The King and I’, and home to Thailand’s parliament since the 18th Century, and the Vimanmek Mansion Museum, a national museum, the world’s largest teak building and a good place to come to see classical Thai dancing, Thai folk dance and martial arts demonstrations, are two of more of the best things to do in Thailand.
Go shopping, of the best things to do in Thailand, another thing people travel to Bangkok for, at Talat Kao Market for Chinese specialities, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, for a truly unique veggie shopping experience, or for everything else at Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the world’s largest markets with around 15,000 stalls. And if you’re not a shopper, maybe duck off to see some Muay Thai boxing at Rajadamnern Stadium.
Another of the best things to do in Thailand is to visit some of the islands, of which Thailand has hundreds, but the two most visited groups are Ko Tao, Ko Samui and co. in the Gulf of Thailand near the Ang Thong Marine Park and Ko Phi Phi, Ko Lipe and co. in the Andaman Sea near Phuket and the Phang Nga Bay, out of which James Bond Island – the one used in ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ – sticks like a dagger – seeing it is definitely one of the best things to do in Thailand.
The islands sprinkled round the Gulf of Thailand are fringed with coconut groves and white beaches, and warm, footprint-less, sandy coves; many of them have lush interiors, especially those of the Ang Thong Archipelago, or interesting limestone formations. Ko Samui is probably the most idyllically famous, but Ko Tao is supposed to be the new Ko Samui – more ‘The Beach’, than ‘The Beach’ beach, and is popular with divers and those on more modest budgets. Most visitors to these islands come for some resort and relaxation time – another one of the best things to do in Thailand.
On the other side of Thailand, the Andaman Sea Islands are the ones that look like giant limestone daggers with a sprinkling of bright green alfalfa jungle on top, plunging deep into sandy bottomed, turquoise seas, in dispersed with sandier islands totally ringed with perfect tropical beaches. Hundreds of islands make up this group, loved by divers snorkellers, paddlers, sailors and people who appreciate luxury resorts or just really lovely beaches.

Welcome to Dubai, the City of Contrasts
Image : http://www.flickr.comDubai is the location where ancient and modern civilizations meet. Dubai is the place where you can be gazing at the Architectural craftsmanship that lead to the tall modern buildings and 5 minutes later you can be wondering through the little old side streets at the Dubai gold souk. Dubai is the important MICE destination with modern meeting facilities and deluxe city business hotels where large multinationals and business travelers meet from around the world for fancy exhibitions and lengthy negotiations.
However Dubai is also a holiday destination for families with children who enjoy a week at the Jebel Ali or Sheraton Dubai Beach Resort.
Dubai is indeed a great travel destination for both the tourist as well as the business traveler. Dubai has so much to offer in means of activities, hotels and infrastructure to name but a few. Kids love Dubai as there are so many great activities held for them each day at either one of the hotels or at one of the tourist’s attractions such as wild water park. Not to worry for mom and dad as they will have ample opportunity to enjoy themselves at one of the many attractions or events held daily. The numerous Dubai tour companies organize a great variety of activities which may include jeep safari’s , snowboarding down the sand dunes or really hitting the ski slopes in the recently opened Dubai indoor ski lodge.
Dubai has reached the Valhalla status of tourism destinations. It will be hard to find any destination around the world which has had such strong growth in tourism income and arrivals and Dubai has even become one of the world wide trendsetters when it comes to travel and tourism. However Dubai knows as no other how quickly a destination can reach the top and how fast a destination can become unpopular among travelers and meeting planners.
Dubai is continuing to heavily invest into the Dubai tourism industry with lots of spending on infrastructure, new Dubai resorts and a whole series of spectacular attractions that are being built or are under plans. The soon to be opened underwater hotel is just a sample of what the planners in Dubai are up to.
The continuous investments by the authorities and finance community should normally guarantee its position as of the main travel destinations around the world however there is another side to the success of Dubai.
More and more visitors our expressing their disgust with the big price increases which the hotels in Dubai seem to implement each season. Dubai was never a destination for budget travelers however some of the hotels are starting to charge astronomical rates for their room. The Dubai hotel owners should not become greedy and arrogant and out price themselves. Many destinations in the past have seen this happen which finally led to the popularity of those destinations dropping rather fast.
Nearby countries such as Oman and Qatar are seeing their popularity among international tourists rapidly increasing and more and more hotels and other facilities are being constructed although both countries allready have a large number of first class hotels. The other Emirates, with which Dubai forms the United Arab Emirates, are seeing their tourism industries growing at warp speed. Abu Dhabi has a large number of world class hotels and resorts and more are being contracted. The most expensive hotel in the world ever build is in fact the Emirates Palace which is owned by the Abu Dhabi government and is managed by Kempinski. There are more and more great alternatives to Dubai in the region and often at much lower prices so the policy makers should very much consider this.
Dubai has focused all their energy and funds into the tourism industry. The result is magnificent. However as the oil supply is rumored to dry up soon, it will mean that Dubai has put almost all their eggs into one basket. Dubai will be very dependent on the hospitality and tourism business which can lead to undesirable situations.
Dubai is unfortunately not located in a very stable part of the world. Due to the constant problems that nearby countries have with one and other such as Israel, Iraq, Iran and Syria, it is difficult to predict the future. Unfortunately an event in a nearby country can completely paralyze the tourism business which would be disastrous for Dubai and its work force.
A good example of a destination which suffered deeply as it had only the tourism industry to rely on is Bali. I worked there just before the big financial crisis hit South East Asia during the final months of 1997. The Island of the gods had extremely high occupancies and high average room rates. Many new hotels were being constructed as Bali was a gold mine at that time. It was the playground of the international Jet set. Since the crisis hit in 1997 Bali has never been able to attract meeting planners and the large number of tourists that they were once used to. Many locals lost their source of income and a great deal of investors lost their lifesaving. So many hotels have been put up for sale since then without there being many serious buyers.
Off course Dubai is located in a different region of the world however several ingredients of what caused Bali to disappear as a big tourism player also potentially excist in Dubai. The religious fanatics that hit Bali could shift their sights to other places and Dubai with al its western tourists do stand out a bit. It all takes one such attach and the tourism industry will receive a blow which it might not recover from.
Additionally having spoken to many Dubai travelers as well as people living and working in Dubai, I have compiled a list of items which would be great for improvement and would surely please many visitors.
· Stop the pricing discrimination which charges Arabs and former Soviet Union nations more then western Europeans and Asians. This policy has upset a great number of travelers and this does not happen in Qatar or Oman for example.
· Due to so many hotels having opened and being opened in the near future, there is the risk that the quality of the hotel staff could drop. Clients are starting to complain more about the service they receive at the Dubai hotels. The guests often feel that the hotels and their management are somewhat arrogant and not flexible when it comes to solving any problem that clients might have.
· Dubai has one of the strictest cancelation policies of any destination around the world. It is not unheard of that hotels are charging 100% cancelation fee even if the client cancelled a week or more before. The hotels should understand that this will finally become a good reason for travelers not to go. A week at a beach resort can easily cost 3000-5000 USD and if they have to cancel due to a family emergency then that would a ridiculous cancelation fee for the hotel to keep.
· Many hotels in Dubai still have not very generous children’s policies as parents frequently have to pay kid supplement on top of the room charge. The vast majority of destinations that I worked at have the rule that 2 kids under 12 could share the room with the parents as long as no extra bedding was required. A large number of Dubai hotels only require one child to stay in the room and therefore a family with 2 small kids is told to get 2 rooms. This is another sore point for families and which are turning them away as they need to stay with their young kids in one room.
· Dropping visa requirement for certain nationalities. The countries that entered the EU some years ago like Malta and the Czech Republic still require a visa while the other member countries of the EU don’t require one. Also nearby Lebanon and Egypt for example still require a visa which is rather complex for last minute business travel and meetings.
Finally a point of myself. Dubai seems to be able to make the most amazing buildings, attractions and artificial islands. However, why is the public transport service in Dubai so poor compared to its luxurious hotels and malls. That is certainly one large contrast. Many of the Taxis are charging very high rates and especially those at the airport. Cant some rail network be build between the airport and Dubai and possible even the beach area. Kuala Lumpur builds an excellent rail system when they opened their new airport a few years back. I am certain that Dubai would become an even better tourism hotspot with such as system.

Technology Driving the Hotel Industry
Image : http://www.flickr.comTechnology has been at the forefront of practically every industry, helping improve businesses and making processes more efficient. The hotel industry is no exception to this, as it has been quite adaptive of new technology in order to bring the business to greater heights.
One of the biggest factors that have to do with the technological evolution of hotel services is, without a doubt, the Internet. With the widespread use of the Internet as a convenient tool for people to gain easy access to products and services, it is no wonder that even the robust hotel industry has used the World Wide Web to improve the business.
An interesting example is how a lot of online booking sites have sprouted all over the Web over the past few years. This makes every aspect of booking hotels easier for netizens-and even those who may not spend that much time online but still look for a more convenient way to book a room.
The advantages of the Internet are tremendous, which is why online booking sites have been quite prolific. See, booking is not only accomplished with just a few clicks, potential guests can also compare and contrast one offer for another much easier. That is because all the data is readily available-info on room rates, special promos, locations, services can be obtained right away with an Internet connection.
Hotels and their marketing arms have also turned extensively to social networking-particularly with the tremendous popularity and usefulness of Facebook. This allows hotels to reach out to previous clients as well as potential guests by bringing the information straight to their computers or mobile devices. Many hotels have capitalized on this marketing thrust, and pretty soon almost all hotels will likely follow suit.
There are many more platforms available for hotel marketing on the internet. Search engine marketing is one, of course. There are also blogs, message boards, and video platforms. The potential is limitless.
Internally, hotels also make use of a lot of different technologies. There are different kinds of software that help analyze various aspects of the business. There are implements that help consolidate business processes to make work flow smoother.
Technology really is changing services by the nanosecond. Take a particular hotel in Las Vegas, which has been confirmed to be giving some of their VIP guests access to the hotel’s different services through-wait for it-an iPod Touch.
That is quite an amazing touch, no pun intended. The hotel effectively places all of its services at the fingertips of the guest; no need for waiting or making phone calls. As a notable addition, the iPod can be purchased by the guest as an option. That gives the hotel more financial gain, as well as the iPod manufacturer.
It is indeed true that technology transforms industries, just like we have seen it transform the hotel industry. With establishments extending their reach to more people from all over the world, technology is an essential tool to accomplish different goals. And, as technology continues to evolve, expect the hotel industry to be bigger and better than ever.

Asia Travel, Cheaper Flights to Kuala Lupur and Singapore
Image : http://www.flickr.comCurrently for those on a tight budget, one of the ways to save money is to fly from KL to Johor Bahru, and then to travel overland to Singapore. This adds around 1 hour to the time to complete the trip into downtown Singapore, as you need to deal with the hassles of organizing a taxi or bus into Singapore. This detour is pretty straight forward after you have done it once, but a bit daunting, for newcomers to the route, with the biggest complaint being a lack of adequate, maps, signage or an impartial information desk to explain the process at Senai Airport. You also need to queue for a while at the Singapore border.
New rules will allow flights between the two cities which should start in Dec or January, and it is expected that there will be two flights a day by the low cost air carries Currently flights between Singapore and KL are available on Singapore Air and Malaysia Air, but the flights are premium priced, there is a real incentive to pay the extra as the train system, especially in Singapore, is really easy to use, and the cheapest and fastest way to move around Singapore regardless of the street traffic.
Speculation is that there will be a lot of interest by the governments of other capitol cites in region, that currently have restrictive polices on access, mainly to protect their flag carriers from value airlines like Tiger Air and Air Asia, two of the stronger regional budget airlines operating in the Asia region. Indonesia and its capitol city of Jakarta, it is hopeful, will see the advantages and create an atmosphere that encourages the budget carriers to operate, which will create more opportunities for business to flourish in the southern Asian region.
Recently between the cities with a stop to do some lets say scuba diving in Sipadan, it was very clear that something was remiss in that you could not fly from Singapore to Sipadan * to KL, but needed to fly either into Johor Bahru or KL, and add another flight segment or overland detour. You can bet that many travelers, through the southern Asian region would like to be able to book itineraries that could look like Bangkok to Phuket Thailand, to KL Malaysia to Sipadan in Borneo to Angeles City or Manila in the Philippines, to Singapore, to Bali Indonesia, back to Bangkok. Which would be a great smorgasbord of all that the region offers; if you could get that as a 5 to 10 stop package I think you would have a real winner for Asia visitors.
