THAILAND
Thailand is located in Asia-southeast Asia. Neighbors are Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia. As border countries are also attractive, Thailand route can be taken out alone and a good combination can be made in other countries.
HOW TO GO TO THAILAND
Thailand's capital is Bangkok. You can get to Bangkok and Phuket by direct and direct flights from Istanbul.
THY has direct access to Bangkok and Phuket while another option is to travel to Singapore with Singapore Airlines. Which is very useful in both preferences. You have the opportunity to earn miles on both airline flights, direct or indirect. Therefore, a Far East flight (roundtrip) earns miles.
Apart from the airline we are talking about, what you can use is the following; Emirates, Etihad
TRANSPORT IN THAILAND
During the Thai tour, we can say that there is no means of transportation that we have not used in terms of transportation within Thailand. As the country has developed so much in the field of tourism, the visitor also places great importance on the ease of transportation.
Airplane: Thailand has to use airplanes if there is more than one place to see, regardless of how the tour is done, and if there is no land transportation to these places. Since 2008, the most preferred mode of transport in Thailand is my preferred transport plane. However, with years of depreciation of the Turkish currency, even the airplane tickets, which we now call two or three kuruş, are expensive for us. But do not worry, we have nice alternatives.
Bus: We recently had a great tour of Thailand in 2015. We had the opportunity to visit the most beautiful cities of Thailand's most beautiful islands for 60 days. We also traveled by bus on this number.
There are 2 bus terminals in Bangkok's capital city of Thailand. North and South terminal. Why did they make that distinction? The buses to the north depart from the northern terminal and the ones to the south depart from the southern terminal.
As it is in the same capital city, there are surely bus terminals in small islands and islands.
Where to go by bus
Bangkok - Phuket / Krabi / Suratthani / Pattaya / Trat / Satun
Go to Suratthani by bus from Bangkok for cheap transport to Koh Samui island. From here it is to go to Koh Samui island by boat.
Koh Chang, Koh Mak and Koh Kood islands have to go by bus from Bangkok to Trat. Trat should go to the pier by taxi to the center and cross the island by ferry. For more information, read our Koh Chang Transportation article.
For Koh Samet island, you should take a bus from Bangkok to Pattaya and transfer from Pattaya to Rayong bus. The blue minibuses from the Rayong bus terminal need to reach the Ban Phe pier and board the ferry. For more information, read our Koh Samet Transportation article.
Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak are all very close together. I arrived in Phuket by bus from Bangkok. From there it will be the right way to do Khao Lak (2 hours) or Krabi (1 hour). For more information read our Phuket Transportation article.
It is also important to remember that you can travel internationally with buses that eliminate the need for transportation anywhere in the country or close to where you want to go.
Thailand - Cambodia: You can bus your way from Thailand to Cambodia. You can get your Cambodia vizeniz from Turkey before you go to the gate or go. Border crossing is pretty easy. We did not have any trouble. Of course we do not go by bus. Sometimes such campaigns take place that the airline and bus fare comes to mind. It's good to check before you go again.
Bus Fee: 33 USD

THAILAND MEALS
As far as the issue is concerned, what we are going to eat is what Turks first worry about. It smells like Thailand, the food does not fit our taste buds and so on. Okay, we understand you, maybe because you are going to go for the first time, you have prejudices with what you hear from there. The only thing you need to worry about is that there are plenty of spices apart from it. Tom Yum Goong fish soup, Pad Thai noodle dish, Tom Kha Kai chicken coconut soup, Gaeng Keow Wan Kai curry sauce chicken and more ....

Koh Lanta Island (Andaman Sea): A hippopotamus that is far from neon lights and big ones Koh Lanta is a rather isolated island compared to other Thai islands.

THE BEST SEASON FOR THAILAND
The most confusing truth I come to right is the wrongs we know. Thailand is a tropical country with a tropical climate. This means that the average temperature in the country is 28 degrees a year. But the climate in Thailand is actually divided into dry and rainy season. The best time to go starts in November and continues until April. In the meantime, Thailand generally has a rainless and sunny climate. We recommend that you do not go to the country that entered the rainy season from May to October. Believe in this period is not like going into the sea. Please take care to make your plans between November and April so that your holiday is not poison.
Festivals and Religious Ceremonies
