Find cheap flights to Thailand with Flugladen.at

The beauty of Thailand is not only in the exotic temples, the never ending paddy fields, or the jewel coloured waters that surround the country, it is also in the people of Thailand who welcome visitors with open arms. That is probably why Thailand is such a popular destination with many flights landing there every day.

Prepare before you travel

It is wise however to be on your guard, especially in the bigger cities where a wide smile and gesturing arms leading you towards a certain gem factory or clothes shops might have a bit more than friendliness to offer. These people are probably getting a commission to entice you into certain places.

But this wariness should not keep you from having a fantastic time in Thailand, whether that be riding on elephants in the northern part of Thailand or soaking up the scorching sun on one of the islands of Thailand then sleeping in a rickety cabin on the beach.

Get to know the Thai customs

Most Western visitors to Thailand will not have taken the trouble to learn about Thai customs. It is worth knowing a few just to see the smiles on the faces of the locals as they realise you have taken the time to get to know Thailand.

There are so many glorious temples in Thailand that you will want to visit at least two or three. Make sure you are wearing long sleeves, and trousers and take off your shoes when entering any building that contains an image of Buddha. Also remember to leave a contribution as most temples in Thailand survive on donations alone.

Places to visit

It is definitely worth venturing beyond Bangkok if you have the time to travel around Thailand. Chiang Mai, in the north, is a very popular destination for tourists as you can hitch a ride with an elephant, go river rafting and marvel at the ancient mountains. There are also 300 temples to explore!

One great spectacle in this city, the second largest in Thailand, is the Sunday Walking Market. One of the main areas within the city is blocked off from traffic from late afternoon to midnight, and you can pick and choose goods displayed on all the colourful stalls there.

For a place to chill out in Thailand, visit one of the islands scattered around the country from Ko Samui for a great beach scene and nightlife, to Ko Tao for those with smaller budgets. Ko Chang boasts a jungle and marine national park.

Historical sights

Other places to see in Thailand include Ayuthaya for historical sights and architecture, Sukhothai, the former capital of Thailand, has old city ruins to meander around, and Kanchanaburi where temple caves offer an insight into spirit worship and you can see the bridge over the River Kwai.

If you really want to discover the true Thailand, make sure you get on a Flugladen.at flight to this country and savour all that is there. If you cannot fit it all in, there is no reason why you cannot return another time as the Flugladen.at flights offer such great deals.
