My life's a trip: bucket-list Thailand

It's hard to imagine that through most of its history, the country known as Thailand was called Siam until 1939 - just 80 years ago. Today it remains brimming with bucket-list-worthy experiences.  Traveling for work as a TV host for my show Travel Time with Linda, I get to experience many beautiful places, but Thailand is one I especially wish to experience over and over again. From mind-blowing tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples displaying figures of…

  • Hello I am planning a fun trip to Bangkok from India in July, I am looking for a travel partner from India , MSG me if any one interested thanks
  • Dear Thailand PR executive and/or luxury hotelier,

    My wife and I are travelling around the world on a 500-day honeymoon. In each region we visit we pick one luxury boutique hotel to partner with exclusively for said region. We post two articles per resort on Honeymoons.com as well as numerous social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, YouTube, etc..and most importantly each partner becomes the exclusive resort in their respective region on Honeymoons.com for an entire year (at no cost to any party, 100% barter) - If anyone in this group represents a luxury hotelier/resort in Thailand, we would love to talk more. Please drop us a line (MikeAnne@HoneyTrek.com) and we can answer any questions and forward over our formal proposal for your review.

    Sincerely,
    Mike & Anne

  • A Tripatini member has a question about hotels in Thailand. Please click here to help. Thanks!
  • Just caught this from the Bangkok Post about Thailand's withdrawal from the World Heritage Convention:

    "Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has defended the decision to withdraw Thailand from Unesco's World Heritage Convention, saying its approval of Cambodia's management plan for Preah Vihear temple would put the country at a disadvantage."

     

    Wow...so I wonder what are the implications, if any for Thailand's five existing UNESCO World Heritage Sites, like Sukhothai and so forth...has anybody heard?

  • The Guardian reports: The culture minister of Thailand wants to put a ban on Buddhist tattoos on non-Buddhist visitors. 

    "Tourists visiting Thailand should be barred from getting culturally insensitive Buddhist tattoos, the culture ministry says.

    Niphit Intharasombat, the culture minister, said residents have complained that tattoo parlours are etching sacred images of Buddha and other religious images on to the skin of non-Buddhist visitors.

    "Foreigners see these tattoos as fashion," Niphit said on the ministry's website.

    They do not think of respecting religion, or they may not be aware that these tattoos can be offensive, he added. "

    Is he overreacting?
