My sister is travelling to thailand...? |
Travel Info my sister is travelling to thailand at the end of june. its her first trip outside of australia. shes going a couple of weeks after her birthday and im wondering if theres something shes going to need whilst over there (or for the plane journey) that i could get her for her birthday? is there something you wish you had of taken with you when you went? any ideas appreciated!! Travel Tips When I went to Thailand, aside from my digital camera, the two things I had with me a lot of the time were a cover-up, sari...sp? and a backpack. My friend and I went on the plane with a roll-away suitcase but once we got there, we noticed most people had big backpacks. Perhaps your sister already has one, but my friend and I bought backpacks and left our suitcases behind. Especially if your sister is going to be island hopping, a backpack is much more sensible since she'll probably be on lots of boats and won't want to roll her suticase. They sell lots of NorthFace backpacks out there though. Oh yea, the Lonely Planet Guide was also VERY useful when we were there, because it made it much faster to figure out what we wanted to do. But mostly everything else your sister will need can be purchased there for very cheap. Others If she doesn't already have one, a digital camera would be nice. I love mine! Also, a travel alarm clock might come in handy. I've never been to Asia, but I've traveled to Europe several times and I was surprised at how few hotels had alarm clocks. everything that she might need can be bought here - - so, get her some sort of travel accessory that you think she might like.. or, a lonely planet guide book might serve her well, depending upon the type of travel she will be doing.. Tell her to take some medicine in case of food poisoning. Also tell her to avoide the three southern provinces with Islamic Insurgence. Use comon-sense precaution. Either a good, easy to use digitial camera with lots of memory. Or a good sun hat if she does not have one. Or give her some money for a spa treatment. Spa treatments can run from USD 50 to USD 200 for a whole day treatment. Below is an example of a spa on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. http://www.leyanaspa.com/ Sometimes the best place or easiest place to go is at the hotel she may be staying at. The following website www.thaiwebsites.com has many links to things about Thailand. If she has not made hotel arrangements, have her check out www.asiarooms.com for some of the best hotel rates I have found. Good luck A Camera. The place is beautiful Like the others have said: A digital camera is a good idea, if you can afford it. Otherwise, a travel alarm clock is probably one of the most handy things you can have in Asia as well. Waking up to catch an early train or bus is such a hassle if you havent got an alarm! |
