Where to Stay in Thailand
Whether you spend your holiday exploring some of Thailand's fascinating history in the ancient capital of Chiang Mai or prefer to head to one of the country's many beach resorts to relax in the sun it's wise to learn a little about each area before you choose your accommodation or you could waste valuable holiday time catching taxis or buses on a daily basis.
Bangkok is such a big city that its not possible to pick a hotel that's handy to everything but if you choose one near a Skytrain station it's the next best thing. The Skytrain elevated rail system is an easy to use, cheap and quick way to get around the city and hotels located on its route generally advertise the fact as its an important drawcard for them but beware as some exaggerate their closenes. Such as:
Silom - one of the busiest shopping and business areas. Handy to the Skytrain route and Patpong night life.
Khao San Road – popular area with backpackers and has night life to suit them.
Phuket is a large island being roughly 50km long by 20km wide which means particular care has to be taken in choosing your hotel or you could end up staying at a resort miles from anywhere which may be fine for some but not for most people. Although Patong attracts the majority of the island's visitors, Phuket has many alternatives for those who prefer a slower pace of life such as the smaller, quieter hamlets of Karon and Kata which have access to attractive beaches, shopping and night-life on a smaller scale than Patong. These towns are particularly popular with family groups who have young children.
Last is getting about in Pattaya is easier than in most cities of a similar size thanks to the cheap and efficient "baht buses" that operate throughout. However, as Pattaya is quite spread out, it really does pay to take note of a hotel's location before you book it or you could be wasting time each day sitting in the often gridlocked traffic.
Jomtien Beach – quieter seaside area with a nicer beach and quieter bar scene than Pattaya. 20 minutes from walking Street by baht bus.
However, I want you to know that Thailand is not only a place where I recommended above. It has many parts that I do not recommend places of interest such as Ayutthaya, Phuket Nakhonratchasima and several other. I think if you have some information about places to visit in Thailand. It will allow you to enjoy the places. Until you forgot tha what you come to do in Thailand!!!
