Southern Thailand islands also known as "Paradise" Islands are among the most popular destinations in the world. More than 12000000 tourists visited Thailand in 2005, and most of them had the Bangkok International Airport immediately after their arrival on the left and went straight to the islands of the South. Some of the visitors were from the stories of people who are fascinated by the charm captured the unforgettable atmosphere of the islands, some of which havetaken from the images they saw on the Internet, while others were convinced you insert the words of his travel agent that the Thai Islands were indeed the last destination for tourists, every taste, age, budget and personality. This may partially explain the massive influx of honeymooners, backpackers, families on holiday, party-goers, divers and many other islands in Thailand each year.

However, the inexperienced traveler in Thailand may be unconscious, which is a satisfying holidaynot a sure thing, even in a place called Paradise nick Iceland. To be successful, fun and satisfaction, your vacation should be carefully planned. Unknown Target often hide little secrets unknown, which hold huge potential to make the positive changes you want in your vacation.

Here are the errors as possible before and during your visit to the islands in Thailand. Compliance or violation of the following five amendments can literally make or break timeYour vacation in the islands of southern Thailand.

1 Error 1: Select your holiday island spontaneously. Web images of tropical islands often make them look almost identical. The inexperienced traveler is likely that no matter where you go in Southern Thailand Islands - located in the same picturesque beach with white sand, turquoise water and a coconut tree. Fall into the illusion that the choice of images that your holiday island of pure impulsecan not be a very disappointing at the final destination of 'island for your needs, your personality or expectations at all. To avoid this error, define the settings first hand to give to his department of development before the election, your goal for the collection of information on travel guides addition to using the Internet. As the island that meets your needs, will have on the following main points:

a. The height of the tourist development. A bit 'ofTravelers and their islands are loaded with tourist facilities (eg, Phuket, Koh Samui), while others tap the classic "old school" touch isolated (ie, Koh Phangan, Khao Lak) prefer.

b. Nightlife - Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi, to offer a lesser extent, a vibrant nightlife, while Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao calm and sleepy.

c. Diving - Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao offer the best diving spots in southern Thailand.

d. The prevailing level ofAccommodations. Phuket and Koh Phi Phi offer a huge variety of luxury hotels, while Koh Phangan and Koh Tao basic package (no need of a low-level) system.

2nd place error 2: Assuming that it is a great vacation at a very low budget. Some travelers, often incorrectly assume that Thailand is a country with economic development all have a high hospitalization ridiculously low prices. This is partlyLaw, as the local tourism industry offers a cost-effective travel options for backpackers. However, it is that tourists used to enjoy pampered luxury Westernized see the hard way on his trip, the costs are reasonable expectations of what is offered to the presidency. To avoid this error and eliminate significant deviations from the budget provided - Make your research on the differences in prices experienced in the southern islands of Thailand. For example, ashould know that the residence is on some islands (such as Ko Phi Phi) should be more expensive during the stay can be significantly cheaper in other islands (eg, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao). To avoid disappointment in relation to any of the costs, I recommend that the following guidelines:

a. Avoid planning a budget based on estimates of others, especially if this person has already visited the island on holiday in Thailand for many years spent in an island different from the one you chose;much younger than you, or prefer a standard of living differently.

b. Make an informed decision about the desired level of accommodation. The basic system which includes a clean air conditioned rooms and bath in Western style, can be booked in a relatively low, except at ridiculous price. In contrast, luxury accommodation (the type of arrangement is common in Phuket and Koh Samui) is almost as expensive as the hotels in the areaCountry.

c. Even if the revision is the rate of space available on the Internet - the prices of meals must be carefully evaluated e. Do not assume that no matter where you eat - the food is cheap. My first visit to Thailand, I was very surprised to receive an examination of the same value, as in my homeland. Now I know that the islands of southern Thailand offer a variety of western style restaurants, with prices in Western style. Therefore, before a well thoughtRestaurant - check the menu, and make clear, the statement of estimated costs.

Mistake # 3 3: Choose your beach vacation spontaneously. This is comparable with the number one mistake - but probably easier to solve, given the fact that other beaches on the target server is logistically easier and more convenient than the control other islands. However, the "wrong" choice is the beach you feel have not used the full potential of your vacation, or you have wasted a substantial part of it. ForFor example, my first visit in Koh Phangan I discovered two days before the end of my vacation, which is my "perfect" beach on the opposite side of the island. The following tips can help you avoid a similar situation:

a. beaches among the most developed and crowd on most islands are in the vicinity of the airport (where there is an airport) on your island, or one of the major seaports.

b. If you prefer the beaches of the above - are aware that someof them, especially in Koh Samui and Phuket are not families.

c. The old school is always suggestive and peaceful beaches across the island. If the "old school" beach, which does not give up looking for you - even though the way to Thailand was long and tiring, and trying to make a small effort to make the island on the way to the other side of employees, will useful for you.

4.Fault 4: The Western insistence on food. Some of us tendWorried about the testing of an unknown food. The tourism industry in Thailand is aware of this fact, therefore, the provision of Western-style restaurants in the islands of southern Thailand is huge. Having said that, in order to limit these restaurants could be a big mistake, because prices for food are much higher western than authentic restaurants, and even worse, do not miss one of the most important experiences of Thai culture - superior ThaiKitchen, probably one of the best in the world. To avoid this error, do not hesitate to enter the small restaurants with indoor ridiculously neglected, plastic cards and United Nations plastered walls. Owners of this restaurant is probably the worst marketers to think - but are usually cooks. A meal in one of these restaurants will often be incredibly cheap, tasty and ready in particular of fresh ingredients and sizzling. They are so enthusiastic food long after you leave youIsland.

Error 5 5: For cases of large firms in an island that can only be reached by sea. A big suitcase is a good choice [in Europe] are used, it is possible all necessary, can be easily performed because of small wheels, and then you are very representative. However, in a large suitcase to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao is not something I would recommend. Platforms in the pillars are very narrow and occasionally unstable. So ifYou are really lucky - the big suitcase will be safe. If you are a little 'less fortunate - you can fall into the water. If you ran out of luck - you can fall into the water with the suitcase. I'm seriously considering a bag of cooking would be the best choice. Just for the record, the huge trunk, was taken by me on their first trip to Koh Phangan, was somewhere in the jungle left to local monkey to scare.

So the next time the idea of the position of the islands of ThailandIt crosses your mind, as tempting as you can, try not to succumb to the voices and images fascinating. Extensive research and planning in advance can take some time and effort on your part, but it is more useful.
