Visit Splash Jungle Waterpark in Thailand
Visit Splash Jungle Waterpark in Thailand Splash Jungle Water Park in Mai Khao Beach is unrivalled in southern Thailand when it comes to wet and wild thrills. A great day out, particularly for children, it is home to 12 exhilarating water slides, rides and attractions, with professional lifeguards on standby to make sure that you have fun and safe time. Located close by Phuket International Airport and a part of the Grand West Sands Villa Phuket , guests of the hotel get to enjoy all of the fun in the sun for reduced price. The ticket prices for outside guests are not too high, meaning that everyone can enjoy the fast-paced thrills and the more easy-going attractions, as well as great food and drinks in the first-class facilities. Highlights and Features Theme parks in USA and Europe are notoriously crowded with queues of an hour or more the norm. Not so at Splash Jungle where you’ll find a maximum of two or three people in front of you, if that. Paradoxically, one of the most popular rides is the simplest: Just grab an inflated tube and travel around the park at leisure on the 335-meter Lazy River, thanks to the mild current. Another popular ride is the heart-stopping Boomerango on which riders in an inner-tube start with a steep drop down then are propelled high up a vertical wall. Then the reversed free fall accelerates riders over a 15-meter high transition bump and finally into a splashdown pool. The Superbowl ride starts with a drop through an Aqua Tube, then riders are launched into the Superbowl and kept high on the wall for several turns by centrifugal force, eventually ending in a spashdown pool. You’ll also find adequate facilities such as the Kids Aquarium, Kids Slide Pool and multiple water slides of varying heights and speeds for the little ones at Splash Jungle and it’s good to know that children under five have free entry. Entry for those over that age starts at 700 baht per person for ages 5 to 12 (under 5s enter for free) and 1,450 baht per person over 12. The ticket price includes use of a secure locker for your belongings. Click Here : – Visit of Splash Jungle Waterpark in Thailand
Read MoreThe Famous place of Safari World Zoo in Thailand
The Famous place of Safari World Zoo in Thailand Safari World is a zoo for those who don’t like zoos… of course like any animal parks it has some good and some not so good sides but here animals certainly do have huge amount of space to roam free. Opened since 1988, Safari World is divided in two distinct areas: The open space of Safari Park where you can drive through in your car or in the park bus represents 480 acres for its open zoo and 180 acres for its bird park, then the Marine Park which is more of a traditional zoo mixed with many shows, lots of food stalls and plenty of souvenir shops. The open air Safari Park is a very impressive eight kilometres long land where animals wander freely and where human are just tolerated. The first part is home to many species of herbivores: zebras, camels, antelopes, gazelles, rhinos and an amazing amount of large birds: ostriches, pelicans, cranes, and nightmarish marabou storks. As you drive through, you can stop your car as you please to admire this large display of animals but need to respect few simple rules: drive slowly, don’t feed the animals, don’t honk or make loud noises. You can even open your windows as long as you don’t step out of the vehicle. Further, an astonishing amount of giraffes gracefully walk around the feeding area, supposedly the largest herd in the world. It’s a really different experience to drive in the middle of free and healthy animals which are obviously not paying much attention to human visitors. The wilderness of Safari World is not something you could expect so close to a big frantic city. But the mood changes a bit as you reach a couple of massive metal gates and above them a security lookout tower reminding of the entrance of Jurassic Park. Before opening the first gate a security guard voice firmly invites visitors to get back inside their cars and close all windows, then only the first gate slowly rolls side way and vehicles can move into a safety area. Once the back gate is safely closed behind you, the one in front starts to open and you may enter the predators den. Even though you know animals are well fed and appear to be napping in the tree shade, rolling in the grass or even bathing (tigers seem to love bathing), you cannot remain indifferent to the size of the many tigers, lions and massive Himalayan black bears.

The Rink Unlike most other pre-existing ice-skating rinks, which are housed inside an enclosed space usually on the top floor of a shopping mall, The Rink sits in an open atrium on the first floor of Central World shopping complex. The space occupies what used to be the exhibition area, surrounded by brand name clothing shops and B2S retail store. While you might need to use a lot of imagination to get the feel of the real outdoor rink, think New York’s Rockyfeller Center or London’s Sommerset House, The Rink is a delightful alternative to the otherwise nondescript rinks elsewhere.

Read MoreVisit Bangkok Canal Tour Attractions
Visit Bangkok Canal Tour Attractions Riding a long tail boat is a bit of an adventure in itself the distinct narrow, beautifully crafted wooden hull is powered by the famous long tail engine basically a car engine with a propeller shaft attached. The long tails were made famous by the chase sequences in the James Bond flick The Man With The Golden Gun, and they can shift when the boatman opens up the throttle. To enter the longs, you pass through a lock which was build to prevent the houses along the canals flooding when the main river rises during the river season. Once through there and sometimes it can take 15 minutes of waiting or so you enter into the network of canals proper. It’s worth having your camera ready from the start, because lining the canals are all manner of houses from the most dilapidated to the impressively grand, all cheek by jowl with one another. The canals are quite narrow only about 20 feet across so there’s a lot to take in. Along the way, there are numerous temples, shrines, restaurants and schools and you’ll see the locals going about their day. There’s one enterprising lady who is a one-woman floating market, waiting in her little boat for visitors to come along to buy some trinkets. She’s very friendly and speaks excellent English. There’s also mobile food vendors, who have their charcoal grill rigged up in the boat itself and are busy cooking up delicious chicken kebabs whilst paddling around the longs with admirable dexterity. You’ll inevitably see kids messing around on the water’s edge and taking a swim they give a cheery wave when you go by and usually try and compete over who can push the other one in the water first too.

Read MoreMillion Years Stone Park & Pattaya Crocodile Farm
Million Years Stone Park & Pattaya Crocodile Farm The Million Years Stone Park is a rather bizarre attraction featuring unusual rock formations coupled with exciting animal shows. Specializing in the ancient, as the name suggests, the top exhibits include fossilized trees and the closest genetic relatives to prehistoric monsters: crocodiles. The 30-hectare (70 acres) park is located in a quiet village just off the main highway to Bangkok, where it has been since February 1992. It was founded by a local businessman with a love of nature and a large collection of unusual natural objects, including stratified rocks and Thai-style trained trees (which are a little like Japanese Bonsai tree, but bigger). This collection makes up roughly half of the park’s area, which is laid out as a very pleasant landscaped park. It is a peaceful place, good for enjoying at a leisurely pace and for taking photos with usual backdrops. Sadly, there are no information boards in the park, so those with an interest in geology will not be able to learn much from the fascinating displays. The other half of the park is the crocodile farm and zoo. It is important to note that this is a zoo by the eastern definition. Unlike a western-style zoo, where the focus is on conservation and recreating natural environments, the animals in the Million Years Stone Park can be quite closely interacted with. You can feed the crocodiles with a chicken on a fishing pole (for 100 baht per chicken), give bananas to the giraffes (50 baht), among other attractions which western visitors might find distasteful. There are also eight daily crocodile shows, featuring handlers defying serious injury by teasing and playing with the crocs. It is also important to note that the crocodile farm is a farm and not a zoo. The very large Siamese crocodiles are technically livestock, not exhibits, which is why you will find them on the menu at the park’s main restaurant. Available dishes include crocodile steak, crocodile egg omelette with crocodile meat and fried crocodile spare ribs with garlic and pepper.

Read MoreShop At The Chatuchak Weekend Market in Thailand
Shop At The Chatuchak Weekend Market in Thailand The largest of its kind, Chatuchak Weekend Market also known as JJ Market houses varieties of stalls selling ‘all that you can get’ items. In fact, some even say, it is the largest market in the world. Chatuchak Weekend Market has more than 8,000 stalls that display items for sale ranging from clothes to antiques to furnitures. No wonder, it attracts a lot of visitors on daily basis, more than 200,000 people to be precise, but it’s not just shopping it is known for, Chatuchak Weekend Market also has a wide array of restaurants serving delicious and rare Thai dishes. Navigating Chatuchak Weekend Market For first-timers, ‘conquering’ Chatuchak may seem like an impossible task, but worry not. There is a system to help you navigate your way through Chatuchak. Inside, one main walkway encircles the entire market, and it branches off into a series of numbered alleyways called Soi 1, Soi 2, Soi 3, and so on. These alleyways are grouped into sections, with 27 sections in all. You will find more than one category of goods contained in one section, and the same category of goods will appear again in the other sections. In terms of locating your category of goods, this system is rather useless; but it will come in handy when you try to locate your particular stall or where your exact location is on the Chatuchak map. Another way to find your way around Chatuchak is to find points of reference as you go along. The BTS and MRT stations as well as banks and numbered entrance gates are good points of references, as you will come across them as you turn corners. Then again, use the map to locate these references to find your correct orientation. Bargaining Tips Chatuchak Weekend Market is the perfect place for bargain hunting, although whatever you buy here is probably no longer the best deal you can find. So brush up your negotiation skills and be prepared to walk away when the deal fails to go your way. Then, you’ll either be offered a lower price or simply find the same merchandise at another stall. It also helps to do a few practice runs before you actually start buying. Note that a friendly attitude and big smile are your biggest allies in securing the best possible deal.

Similan Island, PHANG NGA Province in Tailand The postcard perfect place of Thailand, Similan Islands, has a group of nine upwellings formed by hot magma and it is located off the coast of Phang Nga Province in southern Thailand. Every year, the island witnesses a melange of travellers and thrill seekers coming from all directions to partake in activities like diving and island hopping. These islands boasts its rich coral reefs and underwater rock formations that offer divers a fascinating experience. Two mostly visited sites by divers are the East of Eden and Elephant Head Rock. Similan Islands are best visited during March when the water is clear and air is calm, it is then you get to witness colourful species of fish wiggling their tail fins amid turquoise waters surrounding the Similan Islands. Dive sites Similan National Park is famous for its dive sites. It has typically two different kinds of diving. East side diving consists of gently sloping coral reefs with sandy patches with the occasional boulder in-between. The west side is known for its huge underwater granite boulders with numerous swim-throughs. Maybe the most famous east side dive site is East of Eden, off island number 7. Elephant Head Rock is arguably the most famous west side dive site with a maze of swim-throughs and the reputation for spin-cycle like currents running in every direction. Elephant Head Rock was named by Horst Hinrichs from Germany in the mid-1970s, founder of one of the oldest dive shops in Phuket, Santana Diving.Other popular dive sites include North Point, Deep Six, Boulder City and the awesome pinnacles off Ko Bon and Ko Tachai. A dive boat in the Similan Islands The most important of all dive sites in the Similans, in reality part of Surin National Park, is Richelieu Rock, famous for its variety and abundance of marine life. Whale shark sightings are not uncommon here. However, since 1999, its once most beautiful dive site, Fantasy Reef, has been closed from all diving activities after its condition had significantly deteriorated. Park chiefs officially blame diving for the deterioration, while dive operators in the area claim that fishing boats, with or without permission, enter the national park during low season, when no dive operators are allowed in the national park.The national park also claims that the dive site suffered significant damage from the tsunami in 2004, and continues to keep the reef closed. Since only national park staff are allowed to dive Fantasy Reef, it has been impossible to confirm that statement. Click Here : – Visit Similan Island, PHANG NGA Province in Tailand
