THAILAND AIRPORTS<br />
Thailand’s air transport has grown rapidly since <strong>the</strong> World<br />
War II. The first Thai airport was Don Mueang International<br />
Airport, which started providing service since in 1914 and<br />
was closed in 2006 when Suvarnabhumi International Airport<br />
was officially opened. However, Don Mueang Airport was<br />
reopened again in 2007 for domestic flights.<br />
These days we have many international airlines from many<br />
countries all over <strong>the</strong> world operating from Don Mueang<br />
and Suvarnabhumi, making <strong>the</strong>se some of <strong>the</strong> most<br />
important airports in South East Asia.<br />
There are also international airports in tourist popular<br />
provinces of Thailand such as Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai,<br />
Phuket, Hat Yai, Udon Thani, and Krabi.<br />
This network of airports bolsters <strong>the</strong> Thai tourism industry<br />
and encourages those tourists who don’t want to spend too<br />
much of <strong>the</strong>ir time travelling by bus, van, or boat.<br />
9
CURRENCY<br />
Baht (Baht) is <strong>the</strong> currency of Thailand. The coins are<br />
1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent, 1, 2, 5 and 10 baht. Coins of 25<br />
and 50 cent, 1, 2, 5 and 10 baht are coin. Used for general<br />
circulation<br />
Coins 1, 5 and 10 cent are not issued for general circulation.<br />
But only within <strong>the</strong> bank. There are currently 20 Baht, 50<br />
Baht, 100 Baht, 500 Baht, and 1,000 Baht each.<br />
FOODS<br />
Thai cuisine is well known for its spiciness, with Som Tam<br />
(a spicy papaya salad) being a famous example. In fact, however,<br />
<strong>the</strong> secret to Thai food is a balance of five flavors: sour, sweet,<br />
salty, bitter, and spicy. Some Thai dishes have a careful blend of<br />
all <strong>the</strong>se tantalizing tastes. O<strong>the</strong>rs are served with something to<br />
help deal with <strong>the</strong> overpowering spiciness. For example, Tom Yum<br />
Goong, which is sour and spicy, is often paired with an omelet<br />
or rice. This could be <strong>the</strong> reason rice is always part of a Thai<br />
meal.<br />
As well as many herbs and spices used in Thai food, fish<br />
sauce is often used in a similar way salt is, as it mellows <strong>the</strong><br />
taste. This means vegetarians will have to take this into<br />
account and be more careful when choosing food in Thailand.<br />
There is a great variety of Thai food for you to try, both main<br />
dishes and desserts. You can also try local foods, which are different<br />
in each part of <strong>the</strong> country. Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Thai meals usually<br />
feature sticky rice, Nam Prik (spicy chili paste), fresh vegetable,<br />
and soup, nor<strong>the</strong>astern Thai meals are famous for <strong>the</strong>ir spicy<br />
and sour dishes and an essential condiment Pla Ra (fermented<br />
fish sauce), while traditional sou<strong>the</strong>rn foods are well-known<br />
for <strong>the</strong>ir herbs and spices.<br />
There is also a lot of Chinese influence. Many Chinese restaurants<br />
and fusion foods exist in Thailand side by side with <strong>the</strong><br />
au<strong>the</strong>ntic Thai cuisine restaurants.<br />
10
TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS<br />
There are various options of Thailand travel provided for<br />
tourists – by land, by air, and by boat.<br />
Land<br />
Traveling on <strong>the</strong> road is <strong>the</strong> main procedure going through<br />
provinces in Thailand.<br />
Public transport: ei<strong>the</strong>r long-distance or short- distance<br />
trips in Bangkok or o<strong>the</strong>r provinces, tourists can travel around<br />
by bus, by train, by sky train, by subway, by van, and by Song<br />
Taew (small pick-up truck with two rows of bench).<br />
Taxi: Bangkok and big provinces have metered taxis.<br />
Tuk Tuk: a three-wheeled motorcycle which becomes a<br />
symbol of Thailand and can be found around Bangkok and in<br />
some provinces.<br />
Motorcycle Taxi: motorcycle taxis can be found near street<br />
intersections or small allies for quick transport and short<br />
distances.<br />
Rental car and motorcycle: visitors who want to have independent<br />
travel or do not want to waste <strong>the</strong>ir time waiting<br />
for public transport can rent a car or a motorcycle from local<br />
companies as well as international chains. Some companies<br />
also provide a driver for tourist’s convenience and safety.<br />
Vehicle rental companies can be found in big cities, airports,<br />
and bus or train stations.<br />
Traveling by car, motorcycle and bicycle is quite convenient for<br />
tourists because <strong>the</strong>re are traffic signs available both Thai and<br />
English languages.<br />
Boat<br />
Thailand has two long coastlines – <strong>the</strong> Gulf of Thailand and <strong>the</strong><br />
Andaman coast islands. Also, <strong>the</strong>re are many rivers and canals<br />
in Thailand including in Bangkok which once was called ‘<strong>the</strong><br />
Venice of <strong>the</strong> East’. The long-tail boats are a main transport on<br />
rivers and canals in Bangkok and neighboring provinces. Visitors<br />
also have a boat trip or river cruise in Bangkok or a trip for<br />
snorkeling, fishing or squid fishing in o<strong>the</strong>r provinces.<br />
Air<br />
There are many domestic air routes in Bangkok and provincial<br />
capitals. Two main airports in Bangkok are Don Mueang<br />
Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport. Moreover, for those who<br />
want to have more privacy and independence, <strong>the</strong>y can rent a<br />
private plane.<br />
11
RECOMMENDED<br />
ACTIVITIES<br />
Sunset Cruise and Snorkeling<br />
Enjoy <strong>the</strong> freedom of <strong>the</strong> sea for example: snorkeling, watching<br />
<strong>the</strong> coral, swim and jump from <strong>the</strong> boat during <strong>the</strong> day, as well<br />
as feel <strong>the</strong> peace and happiness found when watching <strong>the</strong> sunset<br />
into <strong>the</strong> ocean with dinner under <strong>the</strong> stars.<br />

Ride an Elephant<br />
Elephants are an important part of Thai culture.<br />
Thailand itself has more than 70 elephant camps,<br />
most located in <strong>the</strong> north. You’ll soon find that every<br />
guesthouse, travel agent, and tuk-tuk driver seems to<br />
be peddling a different elephant experience.<br />
Not all elephant camps are equal! With so many elephant<br />
camps all around, it can be hard to choose one,<br />
but we hope our brief info below can help you out.<br />
You can enjoy elephant rides at Ayutthaya, Pai,<br />
Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai, or anywhere else you go<br />
in Thailand. Almost every tourist destination offers<br />
you different sorts of elephant tours.<br />
And don’t worry if during your vacation you are not<br />
going to cross <strong>the</strong> whole country from <strong>the</strong> south to<br />
<strong>the</strong> north. Whe<strong>the</strong>r you are in Phuket or in Pattaya,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is <strong>the</strong> abundance of choice.<br />

Canal tour in Bangkok<br />
In <strong>the</strong> old days, Bangkok was comprised of hundreds of<br />
small canals or “khlong” in Thai and local people mainly<br />
traveled by water. They relied heavily on <strong>the</strong> waterways<br />
as this mode of transportation is faster, more convenient<br />
and efficient than <strong>the</strong> land route<br />
Today, most canals in Bangkok have been filled in and<br />
converted into streets. However, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r bank of <strong>the</strong><br />
Chao Phraya River, our old capital Thonburi which covers<br />
an area west of <strong>the</strong> river still retains many of its larger<br />
khlongs.<br />
On this side of <strong>the</strong> city, it is still possible to see <strong>the</strong> fields,<br />
orchards, small family farms and orchid nurseries that are<br />
located in <strong>the</strong> ever-expanding metropolis of Bangkok.<br />
Small Teak Boat Adventure<br />
A canal tour is a “must do” for people who like to see<br />
<strong>the</strong> traditional Thai ways of living and get a special feeling<br />
of Bangkok which can only be obtained by taking a<br />
canal tour in Bangkok.<br />
The tour will take you to <strong>the</strong> old capital in <strong>the</strong> Thonburi<br />
side, a more intimate way to look at <strong>the</strong> old Siam, with<br />
many stops to let you experience <strong>the</strong> historical, cultural<br />
and interactive lives of <strong>the</strong> local canal people.<br />
Normally <strong>the</strong> tour will set as a small group on teak boat to<br />
make an unforgettable journey with a mode of transportation<br />
that is now rarely used.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> sustainable boat tour, you will enjoy magnificent<br />
views of lush greenery without leaving Bangkok.<br />

TOP<br />
FESTIVALS<br />
IN THAILAND<br />
Note: many festivals are planned according to <strong>the</strong> lunar calendar, so <strong>the</strong> exact date varies each year.<br />
Thank you article from: www.bangkok.com<br />
Everywhere – April<br />
Water Festival (Songkran)<br />
This is <strong>the</strong> biggest, longest and most fun festival in Thailand…<br />
and maybe <strong>the</strong> world! Songkran is a three-day water fight throughout<br />
<strong>the</strong> whole country. Wild scenes of exuberance can be seen<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong> Kingdom, with music, dancing, drinking and<br />
people drenched from head to toe. Water guns, hose pipes,<br />
buckets – in fact, anything you can get your hands on can be<br />
used to splash people. One thing is for certain: you will get wet!<br />
No matter where you are in Thailand, from <strong>the</strong> 13th to <strong>the</strong><br />
15th April, you will be walking distance from some kind of fun<br />
celebration.<br />
Songkran is an annual festival which takes place over three days<br />
during <strong>the</strong> traditional Thai New Year, April 13th-15th (in almost<br />
all provinces). The official Songkran festival lasts three days but<br />
in reality <strong>the</strong> whole week is taken over by a mass celebration as<br />
<strong>the</strong> whole country shuts down for a momentous water fight.<br />
Wild scenes of exuberance can be seen throughout <strong>the</strong> Kingdom<br />
with music, dancing, drinking and people drenched from head<br />
to toe. Water guns, hose pipes, buckets, in fact, anything you can<br />
get your hands on can be used to splash people, and one thing is<br />
for certain: you will get wet!<br />
Everywhere – April<br />
As April is <strong>the</strong> hottest month of <strong>the</strong> year in Thailand, everyone<br />
gets involved with this country-wide water fight and it brings<br />
great relief from <strong>the</strong> soaring temperatures. Songkran started as a<br />
Buddhist tradition, using a light sprinkling of water to symbolise<br />
purification but, as time went by, people began splashing each<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r in a more playful manner until recent years, when <strong>the</strong><br />
entire country becomes one almighty water fight celebrated by<br />
millions! This is <strong>the</strong> ultimate guide to Songkran, detailing where<br />
to go, what to know and where to party in all <strong>the</strong> main areas of<br />
Thailand:<br />
Ghost Festival (Phi Ta Khon)<br />
Combining religious traditions, local handicrafts and fun-loving<br />
party atmosphere, Phi Ta Khon is a three-day festival that’s<br />
renowned for <strong>the</strong> colourful masks worn by thousands of locals.<br />
The masks are ghastly, stretched faces with phallic noses, decorated<br />
in bright, gaudy colours. The origin of <strong>the</strong> festival is a mixture of<br />
animist and Buddhist beliefs. It is supposed to recreate <strong>the</strong> legend<br />
of when a party was thrown that was so fun, everyone wanted to<br />
attend – living or dead. We don’t really know <strong>the</strong> significance of<br />
<strong>the</strong> phallic noses. The Ghost Festival is held on <strong>the</strong> weekend of<br />
<strong>the</strong> 6th full moon of <strong>the</strong> lunar calendar. It usually has <strong>the</strong> main<br />
parade on <strong>the</strong> Friday (dressing up as a ghost optional), with pageants<br />
and music on <strong>the</strong> Saturday and Buddhist ceremonies on <strong>the</strong> Sunday.<br />
Dan Sai, Loei Province – June or July<br />
Located in Dan Sai Town in Loei Province, <strong>the</strong> Ghost Festival is<br />
quite hard to get to. It’s easiest from Udon Thani (a three-hour<br />
bus journey) or Chiang Mai (five-hour bus journey). From Bangkok,<br />
buses leave from Mo Chit Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Bus Terminal about five<br />
times a day. It’s around a seven-hour journey.<br />
14
Chiang Mai’s Lantern Festival<br />
(Yi Peng Festival)<br />
Yee Peng Festival in Chiang Mai (sometimes written as ‘Yi Peng’)<br />
is celebrated on <strong>the</strong> full moon of <strong>the</strong> twelfth lunar month ever<br />
year, which normally means mid-way through November, but<br />
this can vary. The Yee Peng lantern festival is held in November<br />
every year.<br />
Loy Krathong is preceded by Yee Peng , during which people<br />
release floating lanterns into <strong>the</strong> sky. It is during Yee Peng that<br />
you see locals’ homes and public places decked out in colourful<br />
hanging lanterns and flag decorations. The act of releasing <strong>the</strong><br />
lantern and krathong symbolizes letting go of all ills and misfortunes<br />
in <strong>the</strong> previous year, and Buddhists also believe that if<br />
you make a wish when you set off <strong>the</strong> lantern, it will come true<br />
(but only if you do good deeds <strong>the</strong> following year, of course).<br />
Chiang Mai - November<br />
As part of this festival of lights, <strong>the</strong>re are plenty of o<strong>the</strong>r activities<br />
that happen all over Chiang Mai. These include traditional<br />
Thai dance shows, <strong>the</strong> official ‘Yee Peng Parade’ around <strong>the</strong> Old<br />
City gate and down Tha Phae Road, live music and handicraft<br />
sessions.<br />
You can also expect lots of food vendors setting up, firecrackers,<br />
fireworks, and hordes of tourists with selfie sticks (particularly<br />
around <strong>the</strong> Tha Phae Gate area).<br />
Chiang Mai - November<br />
Rocket Festival (Boon Bang Fai )<br />
In <strong>the</strong> farming communities of Issan (north-eastern Thailand),<br />
rocket festivals are important events attended by entire villages<br />
as <strong>the</strong>y’re considered <strong>the</strong> last big ‘knees-up’ before <strong>the</strong> planting<br />
season begins. The rockets are meant to encourage <strong>the</strong> gods to send<br />
plentiful rains to help <strong>the</strong> precious rice crops grow, with teams<br />
building ever more elaborate rockets. They are paraded around on<br />
<strong>the</strong> first day of <strong>the</strong> festival before being launched high into <strong>the</strong> air<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong> weekend. Supposedly, huge sums are gambled on<br />
who can build <strong>the</strong> best rocket, but considering gambling is illegal<br />
in Thailand we can’t confirm this. If any rocket fails to launch, <strong>the</strong><br />
builders of said rocket are playfully thrown into a mud bath as<br />
punishment.<br />
The main rocket festival is in Yasothon Province, although many<br />
districts hold <strong>the</strong>ir own smaller rocket festivals. Live folk music,<br />
fastidious drinking of local rice wine, beauty pageants and a party<br />
atmosphere accompanies every rocket festival.<br />
Yasothorn Province – June or July<br />
15
Buffalo Racing Festival (Wing Kwai)<br />
Buffalo racing, and <strong>the</strong> festivities that go on afterwards, make<br />
this one of Thailand’s best festivals. This tradition has been taking<br />
place for well over 100 years and now brings in <strong>the</strong> crowds – Thais<br />
and foreigners – from far and wide. The race course is around 100<br />
metres long, located right in front of Chonburi City Hall. Crowds<br />
line <strong>the</strong> race course and cheer on <strong>the</strong> jockeys, who ride bareback<br />
on <strong>the</strong>ir trusty beasts. It is amazing to see how fast <strong>the</strong> massive<br />
beasts can actually run!<br />
Chonburi – October<br />
Chonburi is quite easy to reach, around one hour away from both<br />
Bangkok and Pattaya. The buffalo racing is <strong>the</strong> main attraction,<br />
but <strong>the</strong>re are plenty more bovine activities to enjoy, such as a buffalo<br />
beauty contest, buffalo decorations and muay Thai demonstrations.<br />
There’s a small fair with rides for smaller children, and o<strong>the</strong>r fete<br />
games – definitely look out for <strong>the</strong> greasy pole game, which asks<br />
participants to climb up <strong>the</strong> pole to win 500 baht (or try to, at<br />
least). While it doesn’t quite compare to <strong>the</strong> prestige of Ascott, <strong>the</strong><br />
Melbourne Cup or <strong>the</strong> Kentucky Derby, Chonburi’s annual buffalo<br />
race festival is still a hugely fun day out.<br />
Lopburi Monkey Banquet<br />
Lopburi - November<br />
Located 150 km north of Bangkok, Lopburi is best known for its<br />
packs of monkeys, thanks to <strong>the</strong> central temple being overrun by<br />
<strong>the</strong> pesky simians. It’s a popular tourist activity to feed <strong>the</strong> monkeys<br />
but, during November, <strong>the</strong> simple bags of sunflower seed you<br />
can buy are replaced by something much grander. There’s a huge<br />
banquet laid out for <strong>the</strong> approximately 3,000 monkeys and <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are allowed to feast on 4 tonnes of fruits, vegetables and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
treats. It’s a surreal experience that has traces of <strong>the</strong> Mad Hatter’s<br />
Tea Party. Do be aware that <strong>the</strong> Lopburi monkeys will climb on<br />
you and try to take food or valuables from you, so you should<br />
keep your wits about you.<br />
Vegetarian Festival<br />
Despite <strong>the</strong> name, Phuket’s Vegetarian Festival is famous to<br />
world travellers because of <strong>the</strong> extreme acts undertaken by some<br />
locals. Especially gruesome is <strong>the</strong> body mortification, by way of<br />
swords and spiked objects cutting through participants’ cheeks<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r body parts, along with walking over hot coals. The<br />
belief is that Chinese gods will protect you from harm in return<br />
for painful demonstrations of your beliefs.<br />
Phuket - October<br />
The ceremonies of <strong>the</strong> festival take place in <strong>the</strong> vicinity of <strong>the</strong> six<br />
Chinese temples scattered throughout Phuket. The main temple<br />
is Jui Tui Shrine, not far from <strong>the</strong> Fresh Market in Phuket Town.<br />
This annual festival takes place every October but, if you’re<br />
sensitive to <strong>the</strong> sight of blood, you probably should give this one<br />
a miss!<br />
16
Wonderfruit Music and Arts Festival<br />
Okay, <strong>the</strong> only thing ‘Thai’ about this festival is <strong>the</strong> location, but<br />
it is <strong>the</strong> country’s premier music and arts festival, taking after<br />
similar events in <strong>the</strong> UK and US – think Glastonbury or Coachella<br />
and you’re on <strong>the</strong> right lines. Wonderfruit usually takes place in<br />
December, on <strong>the</strong> outskirts of Pattaya, and welcomes European<br />
and American artists to headline, with many local bands playing,<br />
too. There’s also yoga, meditation, arts and pop-up restaurants by<br />
some of Bangkok’s best chefs.<br />
The Wonderfruit Festival Pattaya is a three-day eco-friendly music<br />
and arts extravaganza on <strong>the</strong> outskirts of <strong>the</strong> city. Combining<br />
Thai, Asian and western cultures, <strong>the</strong> fantastic performances and<br />
wide-ranging workshops give it a Western-style festival vibe,<br />
similar to Glastonbury in <strong>the</strong> UK or Woodstock in <strong>the</strong> US,<br />
though with significantly less mud! As with Glastonbury, <strong>the</strong> main<br />
attraction is obviously <strong>the</strong> music, with hip-hop, alt-R&B, Thai<br />
folk and EDM music playing on three striking stages created by<br />
international designers. In past years, a lengthy bill of local groups<br />
has been headlined by big-name performers from <strong>the</strong> USA, UK,<br />
Germany, India, Japan and Singapore. There are also a number of<br />
remarkable contemporary dance performances.<br />
Pattaya - December<br />
Chinese New Year<br />
Chinese New Year brings one of <strong>the</strong> most exhilarating celebrations<br />
to Yaowaraj, which is officially <strong>the</strong> Chinatown of Bangkok. The<br />
narrow, bustling alleys of Chinatown are always a fun place to<br />
explore but, during Chinese New Year, things are ramped up a<br />
notch.<br />
The entire length of <strong>the</strong> street (and surrounding alleys) comes to<br />
life, with crowds of worshippers, exploding firecrackers, dragon<br />
dancers and families of Chinese descent, who ga<strong>the</strong>r to partake<br />
in <strong>the</strong> street fanfare as well as enjoy sumptuous Chinese banquets.<br />
The best place to experience <strong>the</strong> festival in Bangkok is at Wat<br />
Mangkon Kamalawat on Charoen Krung Street, at <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />
edge of Chinatown.<br />
Bangkok – January<br />
Candle Festival<br />
This large festival in one of Issan’s biggest cities is a nice mix of art,<br />
culture and celebration. Up to 10 huge wax sculptures are crafted<br />
by international teams of artists, mixing traditional art with more<br />
modern, abstract creations. The wax works are paraded around on<br />
floats, accompanied by dancers and traditional folk music.<br />
Principally, this is a religious festival on a sacred Buddhist holiday,<br />
when followers donate items to monks, but <strong>the</strong>re is still a party<br />
atmosphere throughout <strong>the</strong> city. Remember that no alcohol is<br />
allowed to be sold in Thailand on Buddhist holidays, but it can<br />
be consumed. Most locals will stock up <strong>the</strong> day before and will be<br />
discreet about drinking out of respect for monks and devout<br />
Buddhists.<br />

“ The elegant surrounded<br />
by nature”<br />
Z9 Resort<br />
This resort is truly Maldive in Thailand.<br />
“Z9” (Zinine) is inpired by <strong>the</strong> name of Mount Sinai<br />
or “Tour Sina” in Arabic which was mentioned in <strong>the</strong><br />
“Alliance of Sinai” as Moses’ mount.<br />
Namely, he -Moses in Jewish and Christian dimensions<br />
or Prophet Musa (a) in Islamic faith - went into its cave to<br />
meditate and receive <strong>the</strong> so-called “Ten Commandments”<br />
from God. At that time, he had to rule about 10 million<br />
peoples of <strong>the</strong> holy mount among <strong>the</strong> conflict and chaos.<br />
Consequently, Mount Sinai was considered as Moses’ sanctuary<br />
for considerating his mind and recharging his body and soul,<br />
after that he turned back to accomplish his greatest mission.<br />
Z9 Resort similarly loves to present <strong>the</strong> peaceful shelter for<br />
rehabilitating your physical and mental goal with <strong>the</strong><br />
philosophy: “RECHARGE YOUR LIFE ENERGY, RENEW<br />
YOUR SPIRIT” at Z9 before you step back to your real life.<br />

view where you can sip a cup of warm drink looking at <strong>the</strong><br />
horses prancing <strong>the</strong> green grass in Khaoyai’s breezy wea<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
The project originated from 3 city-born cousins, who wish<br />
one day could settle down in <strong>the</strong> country side, amongst <strong>the</strong><br />
mountains and fresh air. The property was built to be cozy<br />
and home-like as a result – nothing to feel formal about it.<br />
stables and equestrian activities for visitors to experience such as:<br />
pull-along rides, horse riding, and off-road horse carriage.<br />
For your convenience, <strong>the</strong> restaurant is available within <strong>the</strong><br />
resort area from breakfast to dinner. The resort is run by <strong>the</strong><br />
family, and thus <strong>the</strong> food are of home-cooked recipes. We support<br />
<strong>the</strong> locals and source our fresh greens and fruits locally.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r facility that will be available soon is <strong>the</strong> swimming pool.<br />
As we hope that we can cater to family with young children, we<br />
have started <strong>the</strong> next phase to build a cozy size swimming pool<br />
for all to relax. We are hoping that it will be available before <strong>the</strong><br />
end of <strong>the</strong> year 2019.<br />
Accordingly, we have shaped our service to be friendly and<br />
