It is a must on any Far east tour. Spend a few days discovering the exquisite temples, backwater canals and inspiring landmarks. Shopping is a pure delight, you can buy everything from clever fakes to tailored silks to handcrafted gold jewellery.
Phuket
Positioned to the west of Thailands peninsula, and its largest island, Phuket is just an hours flight away from Bangkok. Phuket is an island of swaying palm trees and beautiful beaches.

Phuket is an Oriental Eden perfect for relaxation and inviting exploration!!!!
Pattaya
Pattaya is the playground of the orient, offering every form of fun devised by man. An excellent selection of hotels, shops, bars and restaurants situated inland, while at the southern tip of the bay is " The Strip" a brash bawdy jungle of outrageous entertainment exists where you will find Go-Go bars, risque cabarets and night long discos. A trip to the beautiful Coral Island is an ideal place for finding the peacefulness that Pattaya itself lacks. In Pattaya, there is never a dull moment.
