4 Most Beautiful Thailand Beaches

Phuket

Thailand has one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. For those that have traveled there they know that the beauty of this untouched place makes for some of the best vacations in the world. This is coupled with the vast amount of historical culture that abounds the countryside and there is never a shortage of things to do in this country. Because much of this land is untouched by development you will find that relaxation and peaceful living is more than possible. The reaches of the mighty have not gotten this far and that means that you will get the very best in the vacation arena, especially when it comes to the Thailand beach areas.

Khao Lak is a wonderful Thailand beach. Just a short drive from the airport, this paradise offers a remote vacation area like no other. Thanks to the area being largely uninhabited, there is lush rain forest nearby along with a whole host of wildlife to be viewed. The water remains warm in the November through December months and the fishing and scuba diving is out of this world.

Phuket Thailand Beach is another great spot. Enjoy this resort November through March. There is more than enough to do. It is a bit more crowded than other beaches as this area thrives on the tourism dollars that it brings in. The scuba diving is top notch in this area and you will also find some of the warmest most clear water in the world. There are several nearby attractions to keep one busy for quite a few days.

Phi Phi Don Thailand beach is quite the turn around. Once a remote and nearly unknown place, this Thailand beach came to life when Hollywood came in and filmed a movie here. It is now considered to be one of the most popular beaches in the entire country and is frequented by many big names. This is a site that you will not want to miss, as the views are breathtaking and the water warm and inviting.

West Railiy Thailand beach is one of the undiscovered diamonds in the rough. There is very little that is expensive here and one can stay at the "resort" for over a week and barely tap the budget. The sands are milky white and the water clear. Scuba diving is very popular here as well as the fishing. This location is only accessible by long tail boat so plan for a bit of a long ride.

The Limestone Mountain Range of Indochina

Phuket

Have you ever seen Goldfinger, the classic 007 thriller that, after one of the biggest car and boat chases in Hollywood history, ends up among the mysterious and beautiful islands of the Andaman Sea, where Dr. No has his evil headquarters?

Limestone is known for forming curious and beautiful formations around the world: usually caves, but occasionally cliffs and mountains as well. One of the properties of limestone is that (geologically speaking anyway) it erodes quickly in water. While water erosion may take tens of thousands or even millions of years to produce some other rock formations such as the Grand Canyon, limestone formations will change even within hundreds of years, depending on their size.

The largest swath of limestone mountains and cliffs extends from Southeast China (you can see them in prints and brush paintings as nearly vertical hills), and runs through Vietnam, Laos, Central Thailand, Southern Thailand, and finally through the Andaman Sea down into Sumatra.

Though all of these formations are impressive, it is the island formations that are the oddest: not only are their bases eroding in the sea, giving some an inverted island effect, they are also being bombarded by wet sea breezes and storms. Some of the islands, like Chicken Island for example, are very odd indeed, while other formations such as cliff caves that are part of bigger islands will contain secret lagoons and other such exotic features.

Islands in the Andaman sea, and all limestone mountains in fact, are doomed to one day crash back down to land. In the sea, the process is quicker and many cliff faces on the islands oddly lean toward the sea. Some of these have large faces painted on them, watching over the safety of the fishermen.

The Amazing Race Season 19 Episode 4 "This Is Gonna Be a Fine Mess (Phuket Thailand)" Part 1

Ramat Beit Shemesh

Phuket

Public transportation in RBS is so efficient that you can even get around without a car. I should know, because I don't own one. In America I didn't go one block without my car but here it's much easier. For starters, in RBSA itself most places are close enough to go by foot. And the scenery is breathtaking here so it's actually quite pleasurable to walk. Of course there's also the health advantage to walking.

For those of you who don't like to get too much exercise there are moniot (taxis) which cost 13-15 shekel within RBSA and RBSB. That is about .50 depending on the exchange rate which is not very good these days. Many times you can flag one down on the street or you can order one to your door at no extra charge in RBS. Generally they show up within 5 minutes.

In RBS there are many 3 local bus routes which service RBSA, RBSB and Beit Shemesh. The routes run about every 15-30 minutes throughout the day and evening. All of the buses are new. Most kids travel to and from school on these bus routes. You would be amazed at how young some of these kids are and they travel on public transportation.

Superbus, which provides the local routes also has inter city routes which travel to and from Yerushalaim Central Station, Tel Aviv Central Station, Modiin/Kiryat Sefer, and Telzstone.

It's about a 45 minute ride by car to most of these locations but by bus, with all of the local stops, it takes 1 - 1 1/2 hours.

Egged buses service the RBS - Yerushalayim route. They have buses about every 20 minutes throughout the day and evening. Most of them are very comfortable and air conditioned. And if you live in RBSA at the beginning of the route you can easily get a seat. You can get to Bnei Brak and Ashdod as well via Egged buses. It's amazing that a little over 12 years ago RBS did not even exist.

Top 5 Luxury Spa Hotels in Europe

Phuket

If you're looking for a relaxing weekend break, a few nights at a spa hotel can really recharge your batteries. Discover a world of relaxation and indulgence at Europe's top luxury spa hotels, from award-winning afternoon teas to exotic treatments.

Here's the low-down on the best spots for a massage that the continent has to offer...

1. Berkeley Hotel, London, UK

Contemporary elegance is the best way to describe the beautiful Berkeley in Knightsbridge. Escape the pressures (and pollution) of the big smoke with a relaxing rooftop swim beneath the stars or one of the infamous Pret-a-Portea afternoon teas. What could be more relaxing than haute-design treats, such as Chanel lime cakes and Christian Dior pink chocolate biscuits? The legendary hotel is also top of the list for treatments; soothe yourself with a delicious LaStone massage or traditional Balinese therapies.

2. Canbonastre Wine Resort Hotel, Masquefa, Spain

This divine wine resort in Spain is a masterpiece of indulgence - great Mediterranean food, fine wines, luxurious Lanvin accessories and the excellent Acuba Spa. Alongside the myriad treatments, there's a pool, sauna and steam room to enjoy. There's also a 'wine therapy' programme to ensure your total relaxation.

3. Capri Palace Hotel and Spa, Capri, Italy

Capri is the destination for glitz and glamour. A firm favourite with the stars, it's easy to see why this island pulls in the crowds year after year. The hotel takes uber-chic to a new level, but the spa is still the real gem here. It's the kind of place where you can book a vascular stimulation treatment and a simple mud wrap all in one day. The pool scene is fabulous, too - enjoy the views of celebs sunning themselves, and the cliffs and sparkling seas beyond.

4. Lucknam Park Hotel, Colerne, UK

Another exceptional spa in England, the Lucknam Park near Bath lies in the Wiltshire countryside. It's a romantic hideaway of serenity and calm and the spa is a brand new multi-million pound extension to the manor house. Enjoy the hydrotherapy pools, long list of treatments and body-moulded heated beds - and if you get hungry, there's a smart, contemporary brasserie on hand for a snack or two.

5. Alchymist Grand Hotel and Spa, Prague, Czech Republic

Further afield in the Czech Republic, this gorgeous neo-Baroque boutique hotel is located in the centre of Prague. The Alchymist has certainly never heard of minimalism; downstairs in the spa, the style switches to neo-Bali for the extensive health club facilities. Top of the list is the Jacuzzi lit by chandeliers.

Private Villas In The Exotic Dream Destination Phuket

Phuket

The kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, making it a natural gateway to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China. Its shape and geography divide into four natural regions: the mountains and forests of the North; the vast rice fields of the Central Plains; the semi-arid farm lands of the Northeast plateau; and the tropical islands and long coastline of the peninsula South.

Located 862 kilometers south of Bangkok is phuket, Thailand's largest island, which is often dubbed as the pearl of the Andaman, or the pearl of the south. Its natural resources- rocky peninsular, limestone cliffs, white powdery beaches, tranquil broad bays and tropical in-land forests contribute to making it the South's wealthiest, busiest, most visited and most popular island and province.

Staying on the island is easy, as there are only two seasons in a year - the rainy season (May to October) and the hot season (November to April). The low season of phuket is between September and October as they are the wettest months. The best period for a visit, is from November to February, when it is possible to see the clear blue sky, feel the fresh sea breeze and marvel at the crystal clear water while lying on powdery, palm-fringed beaches. Average temperatures ranges between 23 degree and 33 degree.

Renting a Phuket Villa can be a daunting task, with literally thousands to choose from on the island, and more appearing every day it can be a difficult choice for many. Phuket villas come in all styles, sizes and in different locations around the island, from hill top locations offering panoramic views of the islands and the Andaman Sea, to beach front beach villas providing instant access to powdery white sand and azure calm seas.

When choosing a luxury villa guests must decide whether they want solitude or a more hectic atmosphere with hustle and bustle of street markets and beach activities. Luxury villas on the east coast offer the kind of peace and quiet that is more akin to Samui or Krabi. There is a sense of remoteness here, with traditional Thai fishing villages, and quiet serene beaches dotted along the coast.

The West coast is the far more recognized and notorious part of the island with luxury villas concentrated in Patong, Kamala, and Surin areas. Karon and Kata beaches also have some excellent choices for beach front accommodation. Villa estates such as The Samsara Estate, Phuket Pavilions, Baan Thai Surin Hill and The Plantation are gaining international recognition for their excellence both in terms of quality of surroundings and quality of service and value offered.

More secluded resorts nestle higher up amongst the trees in the center of this island, capitalizing on the wonderful sea and mountain views. With some of the most famous golfing in the world, Phuket villas in these locations are popular options for golfing fanatics. With such a developed infrastructure nothing is more than a 20 minute drive from these hill top locations.
With space becoming a commodity in much of Phuket, the South - once a neglected part of Phuket - is becoming more and more popular and with much more affordable prices than their more famous West coast counterparts. The 40 minute drive from the airport is enough to put most off traveling so far down the island, but those that do find beautiful beaches and headlands, great restaurants and their luxury villas amenities match anything on the island.

As people seek a new getaway for their vacation, resorts including Andaman Cove have become extremely popular offering not only luxury accommodation but amenities such as tennis courts, kid's clubs and trips to private islands offering their guests that something extra that few other places provide at such great value.

The Thai Baht and Fluctuating Exchange Rates

Phuket In Thailand

For those in phuket in Thailand, one of the obvious reasons for concern, what things cost. Thailand is still relatively cheap accommodation for a holiday trip. phuket as a destination for Israelis from each of the UK. But is the global economic crisis coupled with the negative impact of media coverage of Thailand has led to fewer people visiting the country. But perhaps the biggest problem today is the exchangerate.

When I first arrived in Thailand, about four years ago, the pound sterling was changing at one to 75 baht. That was a decent exchange rate and it meant that my money went far, be it in Bangkok or phuket. Now, I find myself in Phuket looking at an exchange rate that defies believe. The pound sterling is now trading at one to 52 baht. That's a decline of almost one third in just a few years.

Prices in Thailand have not changed dramatically in that time. Expats living in the country certainly wouldn't have noticed too much of a difference, but for people visiting from the United Kingdom, having one third less to spend than usual is a big change.

It isn't, however, that the baht has become especially strong. What is happening is that the pound is incredibly weak. It's so weak that at the moment it's trading about one for one with the euro, which makes trips to Europe unappealing for any British people. The Brits are staying home. Money is tight enough as it is without the exchange rates working against people.

The Americans are in a similar situation. The dollar has typically been trading at about one to 35 baht in the past few years. Right now, it's down to one to 22 baht. Again, that's a decline of about one third. Ultimately, people will travel to Thailand regardless of political turmoil and internal squabbling. But these people are not going to travel if they don't have the money to do so.

With it being so close to 50 baht to the pound, changing money from sterling to baht is almost financial suicide. Conversely, it's not a bad time for British people to be paid in baht. As an example, I recently wired a large sum of baht to the UK at an exchange rate of 52 baht to the pound. That's about as low as it is going to get and it's difficult to trust the baht in the long run, whereas the pound is a traditionally strong currency.

For all of us in Phuket and the rest of Thailand, we can only hope that 2009 brings more favorable exchange rates against the baht. The pound and the dollar have taken some really big knocks this year and it couldn't have come at a worse time. The tourism industry in Phuket needs all the help it can get at the moment, but some things are out of the control of the island and its people.
