I will honeymoon in Thailand from june 22 - July 10. (Phuket). Is the weather bad? |
Travel Info Can you swim? also is phi phi Island worth a visit? Appreciate any tips...... Travel Tips I think you will find your self in the Typhoon season,, or, at the beginning of it. I would also be aware of pck pockets, and con artists,,buy NOTHING of value, on the streets, and do NOT<<absoutely NOT,, exchnge money on the street, or at a place referred to some one on the street,,,they wish to sell you fake money, at a seemingly great rate, for your real money. Also,,do not "flash " money.. it will get you surely robbed. I love Asia,,go there often, but,, have to be very aware,,or expect to get cheated, non stop. I would highly recomend not going to an Asian country, with out a guide you can trust,,or simply expect to get ripped off, non stop,,,,because you surely will. Also expect, to be propositioned, right in front of the spouse, by both male and female prostitutes,, ( diseased),, and do not assume the pretty young girl, is not a pretty young BOY!!!!!! Write to me at pinoysunrise2001@yahoo.com, and I will get you more current travel advisories, from people I know in the area, as well as refer you to places to go. A must, when visiting ANY foreign country, is contact our embassy, for travel advisories, for that country. Just look up "embassy, Thailand" When i go to asia,, ( and I am a big, tough macho man) I still carry a slim wallet, with passport, and money, deep in a front pocket,,,, and a nice fat FAKE wallet,,, ( a thrift store special), in the back pocket, full of newspaper, so the pickpockets will think that is the target. i have a note in there, that says simply, "Don't you feel stupid?" You will certainly have people try to pick pocket you, grab a purse, ( a no-no), or snatch a camera, etc, from your person. DO NOT GO ANY WHERE WITH A STRANGER,NO MATTER HOW NICE They act; it will be "unpleasant". always lock doors,,the room,,, the taxie,,,,always write down the taxie number, and be sure the taxie driver sees you do it,,it is telling him, you have i.ded him, in case he wants to take you to the theives den. Too much advice to remember! I wll be in the Philipines, hopefully in july,, and have this wireless lap top with me. I hope you will save me e-mail address, in case I might be able to help you. You will only be a very short flight away. And i have a way with getting things done,,, and correcting crooked cops. Do NOT trust a cop, in asia,, it is a thief, with a badge,,simple as that,,period. expect beggars,,mostly professionals, that work for a boss, who gets most of the take,,and makes them slaves, to do as they are told, or expect a severe beating,,most of these will be kids, dressed in rags, to evoke your sympathy. It is a con. I hate to be so negative,, because I dearly love the Philippines, in spite ofthe problems, and will retire there soon,,but,, Thailand is not much different. Now, if youwere going to the Philippines, I could give you a grand tour, as well as teach you some of the language! That place is amazingly lovely, and I have many freinds there. I even carry Phil money in my wallet, because it is a comfort, even though worthless, here in america! I do hope you have a wonderful time in Thailand, but,,please do be very careful!!!! Others no its perfect with a sunny beach dam who cares go on www.weatherbug.com and check for ur self by the way congrats on ur wedding u two have a blast Why do you care about about the climate when you are at the honeymoon. Enjoy and have lot's of fun.All the best. i advise to go to Libya it has wonderful places . You'll be fine, as long as you don't go with the paranoid guy above - I know he means well, but Phuket gets tons of tourists and is not known as a crime area... As to your specific questions - 1. you may get some passing showers.. keeps it all green - but its tropical stuff, so, not a big deal.. 2. yes, I can swim, but not great - thanks for asking 3. Phi Phi - Krabi - sure, get out and around a little 4. don't feel compelled to do anything more than relax but there will be nice day trips available in the area, most likely from your hotel as well - have fun!! You should have a great time, it will be hot and you will get those tropical rains, it may come down cats and dogs but it's usually for a short period of time. You can swim and take a boat to phi phi and other islands, go snorkeling, and diving also lay on the beach and get a massage. As for Steve, you sure you were in the right country, this is Thailand not Burma. Congrats. You sure can go swimming when you are there. And yes, Phi Phi will be a must for you to visit. Also have a trip to Krabi beaches from Phi Phi. And other island resorts too in that area. |
