			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thailand has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. For those who have traveled there they know the beauty of this untouched place makes for some of the best vacations in the world. This is combined with the enormous amount of historical culture, littered the country and there is never a shortage of things to do in this country. Because a large proportion of this land is untouched by development you will find that relaxation and peaceful living is more than possible. The components of the powerful are not so far, and that means that you will ensure the best arena to get on holiday, when it comes to the Thailand beach areas.</p>
<p>Khao Lak is a wonderful Thailand beach. On a short drive from the airport, this paradise offers a remote vacation area like no other. Thanks for the area is largely uninhabited, there are lush rainforest in the area, along with a lot of animals to see. The water is warm in November and December and fishing and diving are not of this world.</p>
<p>Phuket Beach is another great place. Enjoy this resort November to March. There are more than enough to do. Is a little more crowded than other beaches in the area live on tourism it brings into U.S. Dollars The diving is on top in this area, and you&#8217;ll also find some of the warmest most clear water in the world. There are many attractions nearby to keep one busy for a few days.</p>
<p>Phi Phi Don Thailand beach is quite reverse. In a remote and nearly unknown place, this Thailand beach came to life when Hollywood came in and filmed a movie here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The island of Phuket is known as the Pearl of the Andaman Sea because of the beautiful pearl as form. This was originally known for tin mining and rubber, Chinese coolies arrived on the island in the 17th and 18 century to work in the mines, and there is still a hint of Chinese influence here today, which can be found in some of the old city&#8217;s architecture and island food. The main beach areas include Patong Beach and Karon Beach and as always, frayed these beautiful palm beaches squeaky white sand that stretches for miles to serve as a wonderful reminder of the natural beauty that Phuket so rightly demands.</p>
<p>Discount Phuket Thailand? What about hotels?</p>
<p>Regarding shoestring guides, Phuket, Thailand is no exception to these, there are good guides to almost-on destitute travelers who want to spend the least amount of money and still live relatively well in a reasonable hotel. Easily done, let&#8217;s first look at some of the rules shoestring travel in Phuket.</p>
<p>1. Select the off-season, which would be around May, the beginning of the rainy season. And decide on a budget airline to get there. (This is of course no guarantee of regular airline safety, but it will get there, eventually.) )</p>
<p>2. Check the internet for all budget and discount hotels in Phuket area, you will be surprised how many sites are available.</p>
<p>3. When you arrive at Phuket Airport, you will see one of the great things that will surprise you about Thailand (compared with other countries) which is the availability of cheap budget transport to anywhere or any hotel that you want to go. Everything is well organized, by bicycle rickshaws, a discount limousine taxi, even though my personal favorite, and the voltage is motorcycle taxi. (They do not ride as fast and you have the handle on the back to keep the no-helmet is required).</p>
<p>4 Once you find your budget hotel and booked a few nights as a trial run. You will find it easy to change hotels if you do not like where you are. Next on the agenda of shoestring travel budget is food.</p>
<p>5. You will find cheaper and better food if you stay away from the main tourist drag. Most touristy places offer lower service and mediocre food at a higher price. The ones off the main streets will try that much harder to get business, so a better product. The ideal good restaurant would be one which is somewhat remote, but not entirely empty. The old rule about &#8220;if there are no customers, there will be no sales.&#8221; Is worth thinking.</p>
<p>6. Souvenir buy such as restaurants and food, you get a better buy if you choose something for the main tourist centers. The less customers around nonetheless, the better negotiating position. Do not be afraid to offer what you think it&#8217;s worth, then go out if they do not agree. I usually use the old &#8220;flash money to seal the deal&#8221; trick-it works every time.</p>
<p>Rainy season in Phuket not happen to be low season here, but do not discount this. You will be pleasantly surprised by how good the weather lots of sun and occasional rain storm and in fact makes up for everything from creating beautiful scenic landscapes of mountains and seas Phuket for a great camera fodder.</p>
<p>If you are tired of living on a shoestring, there is always a night or two at the Horizon Karon Beach Resort and Spa hotel located at the southern end of the beach and just two minutes walk from the famous beach of Kata. The resort is surrounded by lush green vegetation and wildlife and is more than 16,000 sqm. Green park land. Still relatively undeveloped, Karon Beach and the resort hotel is your own &#8220;private paradise&#8221;. This hotel offers discounts for budget travelers, shops and restaurants are also within easy walking distance to everything you need.</p>
