Shopping in Bangkok
by Naveen Marasinghe
Bangkok is famous for its amazing shopping experiences. From bustling night markets to gigantic shopping malls, Bangkok has now become a thriving shopping destination in Asia. With the boost given from its thriving tourism industry, Bangkok shopping has reached new heights of its own. From cheap imitation goods to high quality jewelry and fashion accessories, Bangkok has it all. Its famous outdoor markets are a good place to be if you are a bargain hunter. These markets have it all, from low priced pirated goods to local snacks and dishes, these, markets are an intranasal part of Thailand's shopping experience. It's a common fact that Thailand is one of the biggest counterfeit product markets in the world. Here you can get your hands on to Rolex watches to latest Hollywood DVDs at a fraction of a cost of the original products. Though low in quality and highly unpredictable the imitated goods market in Bangkok is thriving and more and more tourists are attracted to it each year.
When shopping in the busy markets there are a few things that would come in handy. Bargaining is the key. You can always bargain your way down the original price and some times you might get more than what you've thought of getting. Knowing a few Thai numbers would also be helpful when sharpening your bargaining skills.
If you don't like mingling with busy crowds in hot outdoor markets in Bangkok, try the mega shopping malls and department stores. These mega establishment offer fixed prices and air-conditioned environment where you can shop in a more convenient way. The products featured are of good quality though prices may be higher than the outdoor markets.

Mixing both types of shopping is advisable. Approaching the local outdoor markets in the morning or the evening is more recommended than in the afternoon, where the market gets busy and the heat is much higher. Allocate the afternoons for department stores and shopping malls where the interior is air-conditioned and much nicer.

Lowland elevations (325-850 meter). Originally a teak forest, the lowland elevation is composed of a degraded mixed bamboo deciduous forest as deciduous Dipterocarp- oak forest.
Middle elevations (850-1,000 meter). This is a transitional area where the lowland deciduous forest and upland evergreen- pine forest mix to from the mixed evergreen and deciduous forest.

Cheap Airport Parking
Cheap Airport Parking
by Tony Scott
The words cheap and airport parking would never have been found in the same sentence, ten years ago.
As air travel became more popular, and the number of people travelling by air rose, so did competition for parking at airports. The Airport parking operators took the opportunity to raise their prices, and airport parking became almost a prohibitive cost.
However, co-inciding with the rise in cheap flights that became available from the low cost airlines such as Easyjet and Ryanair, we saw a boom in the number of people travelling overseas by air.
Businesses, having seen this trend, began buying up large parcels of cheap land. The parcels of land that they obtained, were often near industrial estates and within a ten minute drive of the airport. Requiring little more than a secure compound, a secure office, 24 hour staff, and vehicles to transport customers to the nearby airport.
These low overheads meant that the new parking operators could slash the cost of parking, and gain customers from the airport operators. As with any market, competition brings price reductions, and travellers suddenly found that they had a number of choices for airport parking, at discount prices.
The advent of readily available internet connections, coupled with the cheap airport parking providers building websites to sell their parking services, suddenly put the power back in the hands of the consumer, and prices dropped again.
The last phase of development has seen the rise of airport parking comparision sites, which will find a selection of available parking spaces and prices for given travel dates. In short, the airport paring customer has never had it so good.
In addition, parking can now be booked in advance, often qualifying for further discounts, and a number of services have sprung up to take the stress out of the airport parking picture. These are primarily meet and greet services, where the parking operator drives the customer to their airport from their base, then securely parks their car for the duration. On return, the customer is picked up in their own car, before travelling onwards.

How to Choose the Perfect Honeymoon Location
How to Choose the Perfect Honeymoon Location
by P. Williards
After the wedding is over and the guest leave there is nothing more a bride and groom want more than a well deserved vacation. The honey moon should be filled with activities both you and your loved one can enjoy together. Whether it's a a relaxing couples massage or a truly romantic sunset dinner cruise, this is a time where you and your new spouse can bond and get away from the hustle of bustle of every day life. That said, planning the honeymoon can be just as stressful as planning the wedding. There are tons of options available meaning there is definitely something out there for every couple to enjoy Here are a some tips to help you and you're soon to be spouse plan the perfect honeymoon for the two of you.
Choosing a Destination: Deciding where to go isn't always easy. If you're truly luck you and your spouse will agree on a place immediately. Unfortunately, more often than not you may be conflicted when it comes to choosing the perfect place to solidify your vows. Don't let the honeymoon plans ruin the wedding. If your having trouble agreeing on a place try to find one that encompasses both of your needs and wishes. If you want action packed and she wants lazy and relaxing try to find one that offers both. Beach vacations are often great choices since they can offer the best of both worlds making both members happy.
Still can't decide where to go? Grab a pen and pencil and write down three to five honeymoon destinations and have your spouse to be do the same. It may also be helpful to include a brief list of reasons why you want to visit each place. This can help the two of you discover what draw you to each destination and where if any your vacation interests meet.
Set a Budget: While some couples are lucky enough to have their honeymoons paid for by loving family members, not everyone is that lucky. A wedding can be pricey and the honeymoon can be quit a financial burden if you're wallet is nearing empty. Setting a budget will help you rule out destinations that can land you in debt before you even say "i do." Don't assume that you can't have fun on a limited budget. You may very well be able to have a reasonably priced get away that outshines and budget breaking vacation.
Setting a Time Frame: Every couple would love a month get away to bask in their newly wed love but it's highly unlikely you can afford it or get enough time of from work. When you're planning your honeymoon decide how much time you have and what options that leaves available. For example, if you're going on a cruise and only have a week to get away you'll be unable to partake in the extended cruises that can take up to two week or eighteen days. This immediately will help thin out your options.
How Far will You Go: While some couples are adventurous and wouldn't mind a twelve hour plane trip, there are quite a few who can barely stand an hour in the air let alone half a day. How far you and your fiancée want to go will also help to focus your search. If you refuse to get on a plane or drive more than a day you need keep that in mind.

If your having trouble agreeing on a place try to find one that encompasses both of your needs and wishes. If you want action packed and she wants lazy and relaxing try to find one that offers both. Beach vacations are often great choices since they can offer the best of both worlds making both members happy.
Still can't decide where to go? Grab a pen and pencil and write down three to five honeymoon destinations and have your spouse to be do the same. It may also be helpful to include a brief list of reasons why you want to visit each place. This can help the two of you discover what draw you to each destination and where if any your vacation interests meet.
Set a Budget: While some couples are lucky enough to have their honeymoons paid for by loving family members, not everyone is that lucky. A wedding can be pricey and the honeymoon can be quit a financial burden if you're wallet is nearing empty. Setting a budget will help you rule out destinations that can land you in debt before you even say "i do." Don't assume that you can't have fun on a limited budget. You may very well be able to have a reasonably priced get away that outshines and budget breaking vacation.
Setting a Time Frame: Every couple would love a month get away to bask in their newly wed love but it's highly unlikely you can afford it or get enough time of from work. When you're planning your honeymoon decide how much time you have and what options that leaves available. For example, if you're going on a cruise and only have a week to get away you'll be unable to partake in the extended cruises that can take up to two week or eighteen days. This immediately will help thin out your options.
How Far will You Go: While some couples are adventurous and wouldn't mind a twelve hour plane trip, there are quite a few who can barely stand an hour in the air let alone half a day. How far you and your fiancée want to go will also help to focus your search. If you refuse to get on a plane or drive more than a day you need keep that in mind.

Where To Go In Thailand?
Where To Go In Thailand?
By: lar
You have lots of choices in Thailand for a vacation and you need to figure out exactly what you plan to do while you are there.
Your first stop will be in the capital, Bangkok and you should plan to stay there for a few days, especially if this is your first visit to Thailand. There are river boat dinners, short ½ day trips to beautiful temples, and longer jaunts to the old capital, Ayudhaya, or visit the site of the Bridge on the River Kwae in Kanchanaburi for some WWII history.
If you like the beach, you have numerous choices. You can go to Pattaya, which is about 1 ½ hour drive from Bangkok, or you can catch a short flight to Phuket or Koh Samui. If you really want to see pristine beaches and emerald water, go to Krabi. You can dive, snorkel, or swim to your heart's content.
If you prefer cooler weather, head up north to Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai and visit the temples and hill-tribe people. Local handicrafts, the Golden Triangle, and more await you in Northern Thailand.
For a very laid back vacation (my favorite), head to the northeast to an area referred to as Isaan (or Isan, or Esarn). This is a an area that includes Udorn Thani, Korat, Khon Kaen, Surin and some more smaller towns and villages. The pace is slower, the people friendlier and the cost of living about 50% less than in the touristy areas.
I have been to Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui, Bangkok and many other cities in the Land of Smiles. My favorite is Khon Kaen. Located about a 55 minute flight from the old Don Muang Airport, Khon Kaen is an excellent mix of old and new.
I can purchase software and DVDs at the Oasis mall or sit on a picnic table under thatched roof overlooking the river while I eat my jumbo prawns and drink a cold Singha. I can visit a number of temples or go to a disco. I can hang out with the expatriates neat the Sofitel Hotel or go to night market at the University.
I can have dinner at a restaurant along the man-made lake while half the city is out jogging. I can go shopping at malls and outlet store that compare to any in the United States. I can even call and have pizza or chicken delivered to my hotel room.
I will be looking to invest in some property in Khon Kaen during my next vacation. I want to lease a house and start getting ready for my retirement in about 2 years. From what I have seen online, I can purchase a brand new3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2-story house for about $50,000 USD. That would be just about enough for a down payment where I live in Hawaii.
No matter what you are looking for, Thailand has it all. And it will be a lot cheaper than where you live now.
You can spend your days at the beach and your nights pursuing dreams of youth at all the nightspots. You can relax on a small island or go trekking in the jungles. Whatever you want to do, you can do it in Thailand.
