Need To Honeymoon Destination Thailand
The best course of action to take sometimes isn’t clear until you’ve listed and considered your alternatives. The following paragraphs should help clue you in to what the experts think is significant.
Bangkok, the city of angles or ‘Krungthep’,was established in 1782 by King Rama I. The very charm of the city, indeed the whole country, is its antiquity combined with rapid modernisation. Amidst sealed skyscrapers nestle the old pagodas of the many ‘wats’ or temples. Roadside Buddhas ,exist and profilerate, ensuring handy outless for joss-sticks and flower offerings, food and shawls. The more the offerings, the more fervent the prayer of the devotee…
Roadside stalls and shops jostle for space with these Buddhas along with food vendors-on pushcarts, on little stools, on stands, in baskets carried on a pole across the shoulders. Fruit and flower sellers stand at every corner.
Aromatic cooked rice in leaf or plastic packets are sold even in mini supermarkets, with the smell an intergral part of the atmosphere of Thailand. Seafood predominates-with a rich chilli flavour. Indians and vegetarians need not fear for there are plenty of Indian hotels in the city. In fact an Indian would instantly feel at home, wandering around the crowded city-the people are friendly and one even finds roadside cobblers here, unlike the posh Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. And best of all Indians are glorified as tourists here for they do a lot of shopping and the Thai economy practically rests on tourism.
A honeymoon couple would be advised to go on a pre-booked package with a reputed hotel. Bel Aire Princes is a fabulous hotel, expensive and luxurious. It also serves small variety of Indian food in the evenings. The Indra Regent area has many Indian enteries too. The package ensures a visit to the Wat Arun, the Golden Buddha temple, the Reclining Buddha, the Emerald Buddha and the City Palace. Most of these sights will be familiar to the Indian movie goer, for Bangkok has become a popular movie location.
City tours include a visit to the rose garden, the gem cutting centre and a silk factory.
Thailand is famous for its gemstones and silver jewellery, both certain to bring stars to a bride’s eyes. Chinatown is a lovely area to walk through, filled with flowers and produce. Food is a delight here.
Truthfully, the only difference between you and Honeymoon experts is time. If you’ll invest a little more time in reading, you’ll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to Honeymoon.
Clothes are cheap as labour costs are low. Thai’mumdee’ silk or tye and dyed silk is a specially, a must-buy for most women. As for readymades, Prathunam Market is a near paradise, a whole busy enclave on Ratchprarop Road. Here are located fashion houses like Armani and Versace. But never mind them, right below their regal noses one can purchase fine imitations, complete with logo, in the open sir stall of Prathunam. The garments are churned out in the closed markets behind with sewing machines busy round the clock. ‘How many do you want?’ asks the friendly shopkeeper when I ask the price of a Boss Shirt. he laughs when I ask for just two, more used to Indians buying in bulk.
A walk along Soi 3,4 and 5 leads to Akbar, and Indian restaurant, serving good Mughlai food. Along the Sois are open air stalls selling handicrafts, clothes, cloisonne, wood masks, blue pottery, the unique metal turquoise painted Thai musician fingurines, watches-all fake, toys,VCDs. All remain open till 11p.m.
Patpong and silom-these are the famous night bazaars of Bangkok, where life begins only after 10p.m. Food-one can eat a variety of Thai food on the pavements or go into the Western food joints, pubs and bars here. Massage parlours have women standing outside, enticing unwary tourists. Heading out of the city is an option to go to Pattaya, a 2hour trip to a beach town. Pattaya is a strange place with a sightly seedy promenade where Indians are not advised to venture after dark. The cabaret show and a trip to Coral Island so it is only worth it if you are into snorkeling and water scooters. Perhaps a place best avoided by the romantic couple. For those with a sun and water fixation, islands like Krabi, Kochi Samui, Phuket, etc. are geared to be ideal resorts. Rafting and canoeing, other than just sunbathing, are sufficient thrills here-with the knowledge that Leonardo di Caprio sunbathed here as an added attraction!
A trip to Kanchanaburi, about 128 kms away, is good for nature lovers and would ensure a less crowded and more romantic scenario. The Death Railway and the Bridge on the River Kwai are, of course, not to be missed here. But the best part of a visit to Thailand is a trip to the Floating Market-about 2 hours away in Ratchaburi. Tours start early in the morning, in order to reach there well before the boats come out. One is put in the water in a long launch for a leisurely ride in the canals for about 1 1/2 hours. Old homes jut above the banks, with daily chores and baths conducted in the streams.
And then suddenly, at a turning, one sees scores of long open boats coming at you, each with one person at the helm, mostly women. And the boats are piled high with produce-hot food, fresh vegetables, etc. Breakfast is served like never before! The boat comes along and jars alongside, the old women boats sturdy enough to ram into each other. business is conducted over the water, and selling and buying has never been so charming. After the ride, the banks lined with handicraft shops entice one to buy cheap blue pottery, pewter and clothes. Romantic keepsakes will not make a deephole in the pocket here.
If going about the city on one’s own-the MRT or the lovely little tuktuk (autolike vehicle) driven merrily with scant regard for rules are safe methods of transport and cheap. In the throng of Bangkok’s traffic which turns to five packed lanes on an expressway, the tuktuk is sure to make rapid headway. And for that shopping stroll, the only way to cross the road is to do as the Thais do- hold up you hand to stop the flow and sash across.
With so many spots so soaked in romance,Bangkok is a great honeymoon destination-with a little extra honey making further lovely spots within one’s reach. Best to avoid the place in April though, when the heat touches a sizzling 42, fizzling out romance!
If you’ve picked some pointers about Honeymoon that you can put into action, then by all means, do so. You won’t really be able to gain any benefits from your new knowledge if you don’t use it. http://www.rabbitresort.com

In 1986, the station went under extensive renovations, upgraded to have air-conditioned waiting hall, snack kiosks, tourism information booth and many more. In the past, it used be very quiet but since the city commuter service started, it is a very busy station now.

Merdeka Square, the Birthplace of the Independence of Malaysia
The Merdeka Square, also know as the Dataran Merdeka is situated in Malaysia in its capital city, which is Kuala Lumpur. On the opposite side of it is located the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. The Union Jack Flag was lowered and the Malaysian flag was hoisted at the Merdeka Square of the Dataran Merdeka as it is know, when Malaysia gained its independence from the British. The time was midnight, the date August 31st, the year 1957; this was if one might say the birthplace of the modern day independent state of Malaysia. From that historic first Independence Day the Merdeka Square has been the site for countless more Independence Day celebrations. For successive years the National Day Parade of Malyasia which is called the Hari Mereka Parade has been held here at the Merdeka Square.
The Merdeka Square when translated into English means Independence Square. The site was previously home to the cricket green of the then Selangor Club. Hence the site was previously called the Selangor Club Padang, though at present the Selangor Club is called Royal Selangor Club. The Independence Square was formally opened in the year 1990 on the 1st of January, in collaboration to mark the Visit Malaysia Year 1990.
In the surrounding areas one can find Royal Selangor Club Complex, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, St. Mary’s Anglican Cathedral, the Memorial Library and the national History Museum.
Spending some time at a Kuala Lumpur hotel would be recommended. A Kuala Lumpur hotel accommodation will help one to see much of the city of Kuala Lumpur. With a Kuala Lumpur accommodation one can space out one’s travels and see many places of interest.
Massage Magic at the Maya, Kl
After falling through too many point-to-point fences when I was younger, I had to give up horse-riding because of sciatica and take up golf instead. I’m not sure whether it has anything to do with golf, I think maybe it’s the geological age I’ve spent pecking at office computers, but I now suffer from a different kind of back-pain, not the shooting, nervy kind, more the seized-up sort, particularly behind my shoulder-blades. I’ve tried chiro-this and acu-that, but nobody in the UK has been able
Today my husband and I played a leisurely and sunny round at one of Kuala Lumpur’s golf courses before returning to our hotel, the Maya. I unreservedly recommend this place. The moment you enter the “lobby”, your stress levels drop. Not just because the air-con generates a summer breeze instead of the Siberian chill that too many other hotels embrace, but because of the laid-back ambience. Open-plan and intimate, the Maya charms the eye with bewitching flourishes like the corkscrew staircase, reflecting ponds and a super-comfy-sofa-paved Martini bar that my grandson described as “well chilled-out”.
The Maya appears determined to corner the boutique, Bohemian end of the five-star market. Oh to move in.
My husband and I felt so virtuous in having forgone the use of a buggy that we felt justified in rewarding ourselves with some additional calories in the hotel’s restaurant, which has an unusually good menu for the health-conscious. My husband really wanted a special dispensation from his necessarily strict dietary regime in order to try the sticky toffee pudding, of which he is particularly fond and of which he used to consume fair quantities. He kept looking at me with pleading-puppy eyes, whilst extolling the virtues of his favourite dessert and bemoaning the fact that his diet doesn’t allow it more than once a week. Honestly, you should have seen him, how could I not give in, especially after I had won at golf? After teasing him for a bit I decided to abandon my diet police job for once and let him order his favourite dessert. Then I helped him to keep to his diet by eating half of the pudding, which was divine.
We enjoyed a lazy dip in the pool and then I read my book whilst my husband and son played games in the pool with my grandchildren. When the children went off for their nap and my husband fell asleep on his lounger I decided to escape from the snoring (I feel 8 hours a day of that is quite sufficient) by checking out the hotel spa to see if it had anything that could help my back.
My pampering session unfolded at the spa that sets out its stall through its name: “Anggun”, the Malay for “elegance”. Starting out in the shower, I gingerly pointed the head of the hose at my feet and, twisting a lever, got a bit of a shock by accidentally triggering a thunderously hair-parting blast from the fixed showerhead above.
The pummelling was a nice change compared with the feeble lukewarm dribble delivered by other hotel showers. My subsequent 10-minute steam bath was pleasant but made me puff, maybe unsurprisingly as I am a retirement refugee from a country where the prevalent vapour is freezing fog.
A little while later, my masseuse Atiqah heated up some stones in a rice cooker and then strategically applied them to my back. No, this was not some bizarre form of torture worthy of the Aztecs but “hot stone massage”.
According to my later “research” (ie googling), the heat from the stones works wonders, unwinding muscles, boosting blood flow to the zones under attention and releasing toxins, while the client experiences a sensation of calm.
If a stone, which should be made of river-smoothed, iron-rich, heat-retaining basalt, burns a bit, relax. “Fortunately, the human body has an excellent temperature gauge and a client in most cases will and should immediately respond in a negative way to an excessively hot stone, which tells the therapist to remove the stone,” my Google guide says.
Aside from an initial wince-triggering sting, my hot stone session was torment-free. Nonetheless, I did not feel all that wowed.
Atiqah said that a deep tissue massage would do more good. Thankfully the stones, which are sleek, black and about the size of a cell phone battery, merely represented components of the warm-up routine, which then gave way to hard thumb action, triggering waves of shooting, soothing pain.
As her thumbs traced arcs and touched nerves, I was glad that Atiqah could not see my face distort – the slightly comical contortions, which I could see reflected in the highly polished floorboards, were reserved for my viewing only. I suppressed the urge to say “ouch”, since the agony must be beneficial. Also, I have suffered more under the hands of certain UK practitioner who, after yanking your fingers from their sockets, kneel on your spine and attempt to drag your feet up over your shoulders in some sort of wrestling/yoga crossover.
Atiqah kept rubbing my muscles, which had more knots than my stomach before a public speaking bout, and smeared almond oil into the skin. During the process, something strange happened. No, my chakras did not start to hum. Nor was I overcome by a wave of euphoria.
Instead, a conversation between Atiqah and me kicked in. Amazing. Until now, when beached on a lounger, I have rarely mustered more than a grunt.
Dialogue is hard because, for a start, you are usually facing the floor and do not know the therapist’s first language. For another, it is hard to sustain a stream of words unbroken by “oohs” and “aahs” of pain or relief.
According to Atiqah, Malaysians fail to take care of their bodies at all, which is why so many keel over at 50. I can believe it. Whenever I walk into a KL café and ask for a low-fat version of something, I get an even more bewildered look than when I tell a shopkeeper I need no plastic bag. The hassle is almost enough to make you go with the flow, forget your figure and drain a plastic vat of the local blue-coral yogurt bubble tea.
At Anggun, the tea served is that byword for energy, ginger freshly made from the root, rather than in a sachet, and dispensed in a cup the size of a shot glass. With its peppery aftertaste still on my lips, I hopped in the lift.
Atiqah’s parting advice was to drink lots of water to release trapped toxins. I already knew I should do this, in fact it must be the only piece of advice that all the health and diet experts agree on. It is so annoying and confusing that they disagree on absolutely everything else. Diet is the third subject I know of, along with politics and religion, where there is a complete lack of consensus. I can understand why people might not be able to agree on religion due to the tricky issue of the afterlife, as nobody expressing an opinion is currently dead, so knows for sure the answer. With politics, I can see that people will never agree, as the haves and the have-not-as-muchs will always have different ideas on wealth division. But diet? Surely our scientists could figure out the definitive answers to what is good for us and what is not? Maybe the best minds in the scientific community find this subject uninteresting.
Postscript. My back pain has finally been fixed. We stayed at the Maya for four more days and I went back every day for a massage. Each time Atiqah found the knots in my back and applied herself vigorously and painfully to them. After five sessions they were virtually gone. What took me ages to figure out was why. Atiqah is a very good masseuse, but I’d had lots of good massages before, which had not cured the problem. I think the reason she was able to fix my back was that I had five sessions on five consecutive days. My muscle knots weren’t given long enough between sessions to seize up again, so each massage session could build on the progress made in the prior session, rather than starting from scratch. So my advice to anyone with a problem with muscular knots is to find a good masseuse, tell her that you can put up with pain, then go back four times on the following four days. It’s surely got to be worth a try, hasn’t it?
