Hua Hin and Cha-am

Krabi province is located 170 km south of Phuket and 800km from Bangkok and best known for it’s Phi Phi islands and the Susan Hoi seashell graveyard which is the only one of it’s kind in Southeast Asia and is approximately 75 Million years old.There are more then 100 islands surrounded by crystal clear waters best for snorkeling, diving and sailing. They can be accessed by public or longtail boats. Four national parks, tall limestone outcrops, caves, mangrove forests and hot springs invite you for a visit. Day trips are available to Phi Phi Islands, Koh Lanta, Trang and other islands.
Ao Nang is Krabi mainland’s most popular beach. It is still much less developed than Phuket and Koh Samui. For that reason it is a pleasant laid-back beach of great charm, spectacular sea views to the Poda Island group, and a varied choice of accommodation from Bht 100 to over Bht 2,500. New restaurants, scuba diving services, shops and day tours are being established all the time. Ao Nang is more a tourist beach than a traveller’s one. Many families from Northern Europe holiday here between November and April.
The sea gradient is shallow and suitable for children. The eastern end of the beach around Last Cafe is more relaxing with better tree shade and a greater distance from longtail boats. It is possible to walk around the cape at low tide from Last Cafe to deserted and untouched Pai Plong beach. Compared to Railay, Ao Nang offers a better choice of eating, drinking, and shopping facilities.
Thai Phrases - Don’t Be Afraid To Try - Just Remember To Smile

Thai Phrases - Don’t Be Afraid To Try - Just Remember To Smile The Thais are an extremely tolerant people, I have been butchering their language for years, and they still talk to me! The Thais really appreciate it when you try and speak a little of their language. The Thais place an enormous importance on being polite and having an easy going personality “Jai Yen” (cool heart). If you are a man always end your sentences with the word “khrap” and if you are a women, always end your sentences with “kha”. So “Thank You” would be - “Cop Coon Khrap” for a man and “Cop Coon Kha” for a woman. You will sometimes hear Thai men shorten “khrap” to “khap” and women will shorten “kha” to “ha”. But it all means the same thing, and both are considered polite, |
|
| which is the most important thing. Just remember to end your sentences correctly and smile and have an easy going personality and you will love it here.
Also “I” in Thai for a man is “Phom” and “I” for a woman is “Chan”. For the sake of brevity, I am going to omit the polite ending, and I, but you should remember to use them appropriately. |

Thai Food Confererce
Thailand, for centuries an Asian crossroads, owes its rich culinary art to the cuisines of India, China, Malaysia and Indonesia. The success of this country’s cuisine lies in the blend of 4 basic tastes — salty, sweet, sour and pungent. Some favourite Thai dishes: kai ho bai toei (seasoned fried chicken in leaf wrappers); thotman plakrai or thotman kung (fish or shrimp balls in Thai style); vaious kinds of yam (Thai salad); tomyam (hot and sour soup); curry and namprik with fesh vegetables. And perfect the Thai meal by ending with Thai sweets, such as salim, thapthim krop, lotchong, khanomchan, coconut-milk gelatine, thong yot, foi thong, etc.
