Choosing where on the island to book your hotel chamber is an important step to a memorable holiday. Some like it secluded, peaceful and tranquil, some like the buzz of a busy holiday climate and some like it somewhere in-between.

In this description we will give an abbreviated summary of the best and most popular Phuket beach destinations, what you can expect from the location and point you in the direction of some great hotels in each area.

Phuket

Patong is without a doubt the centre of all operation in Phuket. It is alive with people, a congregation of restaurants, bars, pubs, shopping opportunity, water sports abound and even a large shopping mall, making it popular with those who likes an galvanic holiday atmosphere. A vibrant nightlife with an assortment of clubs and discotheques sees that the nocturnally inclined also have a blast of a time.

Patong is home to a large option of hotels and sees some fine luxury chamber options to more budget savvy and all in-between.

If you would like to be close to all the operation but not directly in it and out of earshot of any noise, try the 4 star Amari Coral Beach Resort, located in the southern most projection of Patong on its own underground beach. La Flora Resort is other 5 star resident of Patong right in the centre of the beach. This stylish making ready offer chamber for anything from single travelers to two bedroom villas for house vacationers. The brand new very hip and funky 4 star B-Lay Tong resort also needs to be mentioned. This Phuket resort is located to the upmarket northern end of Patong.

Pure white sand that glitters, Karon is the 2nd biggest of the former Phuket tourist beaches. It is located just south, a 5 little tuk tuk ride, from the glittering lights of Patong. Long and wide, it is debatable if Karon is not maybe the most sought after of all Phuket beaches. Many hotels line the road that runs parallel to the beach, but very little if any improvement has taken place on the beach. To the northern end of this beach any restaurants, bars and other commercial operation is centered. Probably the most upscale Phuket beach area, Karon is home to very recommended hotel names the 5 star Movenpick Resort & Spa, Centara Karon Resort, Centara Villas Phuket and the Hilton Phuket Arcadia. Just recently the brand new 5 star Centara Grand Beach Resort opened its doors to the northern end of Karon. This Phuket hotel is in fact located directly on the beach and every room offers sea views.

Kata Beach is the smallest of the former tourist beaches. White sands, crystal clear waters and Phuket hotels and resorts right on the beach. If you do not wish to have a road between your hotel and the beach, Kata is probably where you will find your option of Phuket accommodation. All structures bordering Kata is low rise so views are unobstructed and set to stay this. A beautiful beach and area in general, Kata is a great choice, perfect for swimming and plays hosts to names like the luxury Mom Tri's Boathouse boutique hotel, Centara Kata Resort and the popular 4 star Andaman Cannacia Resort & Spa. All of which is recommended places of stay.

Surin Beach is home to any high-end 5 star hotels & resorts and is aptly referred to as millionaire's row. The beach is beautiful and the sand a fine white powder. These luxury establishments have also given rise to some top notch restaurants and wine bars. Propose for discerning travelers, Surin will be a good choice. Names like The Surin Hotel (Formerly The Chedi Phuket Hotel) and Manathai Resort has made Surin their home.

Kamala Beach is located just north of challenging Patong with its glittering lights and feverish nightlife. Kamala calls to those who like it quieter while still within easy reach of Patong. The southern end of the beach gets busier during high and peak season. Here, a range of restaurants and bars can also be found. However, plainly head for the northern end all year round to find peace and quiet. Kamala is of course also home to one of the biggest Phuket attractions, The Phuket FantaSea. Kamala is home to, amongst others, the luxury Cape Sienna Hotel & Villas.

Bang Tao is an colossal 8 kilometer stretch of beach. The southern end of this beach offers a range of some nice mid range hotels while the north is busy by the ultr luxury Laguna hotel complex. Just a little inland is a small market and the village of Cherng Talay. The predominantly Muslim community makes a living from fishing as they have been for generations. In Bang Tao you will spend most of your time on the beach, utilizing resorts facilities and activities or rent a jeep to check out neighbouring beaches. Not busy, not quiet and very little if any night life.

Mai Khao Beach is at almost 10 kilometers, the longest beach in Phuket. Situated at the northern tip of Phuket, this area has seen little improvement and construction. If you don't like to share a beach with too many other tourists, Mai Khao is your place. This is an area to get away from it all and spend your time in quiet and tranquil seclusion, though the around location of the airport does bring some air traffic noise every now and then. Sala Phuket Resort and Spa and Anantara Phuket Resort and Spa are two ability resorts in Mai Khao that deserves a closer look. Be careful when swimming here May to October with strong under currents and a steep slope into the ocean making things hazardous.

Just south of Mai Khao is Nai Yang beach, home to the breathtaking Indigo Pearl Resort. Once again, commercial improvement is limited. The setting is lovely and tranquil and like Mai Khao, it is removed from any major operation and Patong is an approximate 45 little drive away. A good option to spend a few days in blissful seclusion, recuperate and then head for a more active environment.

Well then, this should help you make a more informed decision before booking Phuket hotels. Alternatively, should you need more information or suggestions for the best hotels and chamber options for your unique requirements, caress our kindly and helpful team. We will be happy to assist.

Sightseeing in Bangkok

I first went to Thailand in April, 2008. I wanted to meet my friend there. She was thinking about re-locating to Thailand.

On our first day in Bangkok together, we took a tour of the city by riverboat. The boat ride took nearby 1 hour. We saw more of Bangkok while that ride than we ever did while a walking tour. while the ride, a woman in a sampan paddled up to us and offered us refreshments. We felt in fact wonderful,with the fresh zephyr in our face and Bangkok exciting all nearby us!

Bangkok Tour

During our stay, we visited the Wat Po Buddhist temple. This is home to the sculpture of the reclining Buddha, one of the foremost traveler attractions in Bangkok. The sculpture is 18 meters high and 48 meters long. We said prayers by the sculpture as a token of respect. We walked nearby the temple grounds and were greatly impressed by the grand institute of it all. The temple is assuredly worth a second look for tourists.

In our travels, we visited the Royal Lapidary jewelry exchange. Thailand is one of the foremost sources of precious stones in the world. The display of precious stones in the transfer there is superb! My friend and i did not buy any jewels there, only gifts for our friends. A word to the wise, there have been many reports of scams with gems. Gems that are not authentic, or jewels where no refunds were allowed after purchase. We cannot attest to that as we did not buy any stones there.

On our last night in Bangkok, my friend and I went to a nice Thai restaurant near our hotel. We ordered ostrich steak! It was great and yes - it tasted just like chicken! My friend decided not to relocate to Thailand. We left Bangkok. She returned to the Philippines and I returned to the U.S.

My impressions of Thailand are ordinarily favorable. However, there are many con artists and scams in Bangkok which tourists should be on the alert for. My advice to tourists is to not to be too trusting of strangers and use your good intuition and judgement.

I know that the great majority of Thai people are wonderful. That is why they call Thailand - the land of smiles!

West Virginia Capitol building

The most recognizable icon of West Virginia would be its Capitol Building. Settled along the Midland trail, this stately construction welcomes everybody traveling along the I-77/I-60 into Charleston.

Though the Capitol construction was only complete in 1932, Charleston has been West Virginia's capitol for some years, though intermittently. When West Virginia has been declared a State through declaration by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the state Capitol has alternated in the middle of Wheeling, the site of the inauguration of its first governor, and Charleston, the selection for state capital. Wheeling was a fair length from Charleston and to replacement the state records, officials and the capital itself, a extra packet boat was utilized to float all down the Ohio River, through to Kanawha and into Charleston.

Bangkok Tour

That was in 1870. Five years later, someone else legislature was voted in favor of returning the capital back to Wheeling. Back up the river the capitol went, and back into the Lindley design building, where the state's first legislature was convened. Not long after, the capitol moved into a stone construction donated by Wheeling.

After only two years, there was a clamor to move the capital again. The Legislature of 1977 let the people vote for their selection of capitals. Among the cities up for voting was Clarksburg, Martinsburg and Charleston. Charleston won the beloved vote, and the capital moved back into Charleston.

It was in 1885 when the capital moved back into Charleston, to newly built capitol building. The construction served the state for 36 years, until it burned down in January of 1921. The capital moved into a temporary building, while a new capitol construction was being built. The temporary capitol, or the "pasteboard Capitol" as it was called, due to the structure being hastily put together, only served the capital for six years - it too, burned down.

Luckily, the Capitol construction was nearing its completion. In 1927, when the temporary capitol was destroyed by fire, the west wing was already finished, and the east wing was nearing completion. By 1932, the Capitol construction was finished, with the main wing, which along with the dome was finished. The Capitol construction that you see facing the Kanawha River in Charleston today was opened and dedicated in June 20, 1932 by West Virginia Governor, William G. Conley.

The West Virginia Capitol construction in Charleston spans 14 acres of floor space, and features a gleaming golden dome. Built with limestones on a steel frame, the majestic construction was designed by Architect Cass Gilbert, the man behind the Capitols of Arkansas and Minnesota and the United States supreme Court Building. The dome extends at 293-foot high - five feet higher than the United States Capitol in Washington, Dc.
