Thailand, formally the Kingdom of Thailand, is a Southeast Asian country bordered by the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. It is bounded to the northwest by Myanmar (Burma), to the northeast by Laos, to the southeast by Cambodia, and to the south by Malaysia. Thailand has a land area of 513,120 km2. The country is somewhat larger than Spain, or slightly more than twice the size of Wyoming, in the United States. The nation was known as Siam until 1939. The Kingdom has a population of 68 million people, with Bangkok, the national capital, having an estimated 12 million citizens. Thai is the spoken language. Thailand is the most popular tourist destination, and for good reason. Take a Thailand tour to witness unbelievably good food, a tropical climate, intriguing culture, stunning mountains, and beautiful beaches, it has become a magnet for visitors from all over the globe. It is a land of breath-taking natural beauty, spectacular weather, and pleasantly kind people. Almost anything can be found here, including dense rainforest as green as can be, crystal blue seas that seem more like a warm bath than a dip in the ocean, and meals that will curl your nose hairs while dancing across your taste receptors. Exotic, yet safe; inexpensive, yet equipped with every contemporary comfort you want, there is something for everyone and any budget, from beachfront backpacker huts to some of the world's top luxury hotels. An ideal honeymoon trip you can enjoy with our Thailand honeymoon package or our Thailand packages for couple. Many visitors to Thailand prolong their stay much beyond their original intentions, while others never find a reason to leave. If you are one of them, then do take a look at our 7 days Thailand tour package.  If interested, you can also enquire about the 7 days Thailand tour package price. In Thailand, they know how to make whatever your cup of tea is. From the Thailand tour package from India, you can include cities that, if not all, at least some of you should see during your trip to Thailand. Bangkok, Pattaya, Siem Reap, Kuala Lumpur, Krabi, Phuket, Koh Samui, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are among them. This is not to argue that Thailand is without flaws, such as the significant growing pains of an economy in which a farm labourer is lucky to make 300 baht per day while the nouveau riche ride by in their BMWs. Bangkok, the capital, is renowned for traffic congestion, and uncontrolled urbanisation has destroyed much of the once-beautiful Pattaya and Phuket. Some lowlifes have made scamming visitors an art form in heavily touristed locations, and immigration lines are frequently lengthy, giving passengers a terrible first and final impression. And, as a result of the depreciation of several Western currencies, such as the British Pound and the Australian Dollar, combined with years of inflation, Thailand is no longer as unfathomably inexpensive as it once was; in fact, many products, notably imported goods, cost more in Thailand than in the West. Despite the influx of tourists, on your Thailand tour, it is easy to see that Thailand keeps its unique Thai-ness, with its own culture and history, and a carefree populace known for their smiles and fun-seeking sanuk lifestyle.

A peek into Thailand’s history:

The first recognisable Thai kingdom was founded in Sukhothai in 1238, reaching its apex under King Ramkhamhaeng in the 14th century before falling under the control of the kingdom of Ayutthaya, which ruled most of modern-day Thailand as well as much of modern-day Laos and Cambodia, eventually absorbing the northern kingdom of Lanna. The Burmese stormed Ayutthaya in 1767, but King Taksin recovered and established a new capital at Thonburi. General Chakri, his successor, proceeded over the river to Bangkok and became King Rama I, the founding father of the Chakri dynasty that still controls (constitutionally) today.

Thailand, known as Siam until 1939, is the only Southeast Asian country that has never been colonised by a foreign entity, and it is fiercely proud of it. In 1932, a bloodless revolution resulted in the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. During World War II, as Japan controlled the rest of Southeast Asia, only Thailand escaped Japanese conquest thanks to astute political manoeuvring. Thailand, which was in an alliance with Japan during WWII, became a US ally after the war. Thailand ultimately settled into a decent approximation of a democracy after a run of military dictatorships and rapidly deposed civilian Prime Ministers, and the economy grew through tourism and manufacturing. Above it all reigned King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), the world's longest-reigning king and a figure of near-mythic proportions. In September 2006, a bloodless military coup deposed populist tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra's legally elected but heavily criticised administration, exposing a schism between Thailand's ruling urban elite and the rural masses who backed Thaksin. Thaksin went into exile, and a succession of unstable regimes ensued, with the heirs of Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party and the royalist-conservative People's Alliance for Democracy duelling both behind the scenes and, on occasion, on the streets, culminating in Bangkok's airports being seized and shut down for a week in November 2008. The political environment is still in turmoil, and the course of the kingdom when the sick King dies is a significant unknown due to the perceived incompetence of the present successor. Thailand is still a constitutional monarchy in principle, with the king as a highly regarded and beloved Head of State, but there have been multiple military coups, and the nation is now controlled by a military junta that permits no organised political opposition as of 2016. The power of elected governments would be severely limited under a new proposed constitution.

In actuality, the king's position is mostly ceremonial, with the Prime Minister wielding the most power in the government. However, the king and the royal family are still protected by strict lèse majesté laws, which stipulate long jail terms for anybody convicted of insulting the king or any other members of the royal family. This can include jokes or even very indirect references. Thus, a real important point to keep in mind is to not be rude and harm the sentiments of the people by insulting the king, both directly & indirectly.Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store for you and all the information you need to pick the right Thailand trip package from our available Thailand tour packages for you.

 

Also for your information, if you are from Delhi, you can always avail of our Thailand packages from Delhi or Thailand tour packages from Delhi.

Best Time To Visit Thailand:

If you’re booking your Thailand tour package from India, you shouldn’t have any problem as Thailand is largely tropical; similar to India, so it's hot and humid all year around with temperatures in the 28-35°C range (82-95°F), a degree of relief provided only in the mountains in the far north of Thailand. The careful observer will, however, while booking Thailand tour packages or your Thailand honeymoon package , note three seasons:

• Cool: From November to the end of February, it doesn't rain a lot and temperatures are at their lowest, although you will barely notice the difference in the south and will only need to pack a sweater if hiking in the northern mountains, where temperatures can fall as low as 5°C. This is the most popular time to visit and, especially around Christmas and New Year's or at Chinese New Year a few weeks later, finding flights and accommodation can be expensive and difficult.

• Hot: From March to June, Thailand swelters in temperatures as high as 40°C (104°F). Pleasant enough when sitting on the beach with a drink in hand, but not the best time of year to go temple-tramping in Bangkok.

• Rainy: From July to October, although it only really gets under way in September, tropical monsoons hit most of the country. This doesn't mean it rains non-stop, but when it does, it pours and flooding is not uncommon.

How To Reach Thailand:

There are several ways to enter the country with a valid passport and visa that can come along with Thailand tour packages and at Akbar Travels, you can select your preferred mode of transport with cheap Thailand packages and exciting deals.

By Plane: The main international airports in Thailand are at Bangkok and Phuket, and both are well-served by intercontinental flights. Practically every airline that flies to Asia also flies into Bangkok, this means there are plenty of services and the competition on the routes helps to keep the ticket prices down.

International airports are also located at Hat Yai, Krabi, Ko Samui and Chiang Mai, though these largely restricted to flights from other Southeast Asian countries. Kuala Lumpur and Singapore make excellent places to catch flights into these smaller Thai cities, meaning you can skip the ever-present touts and queues at Bangkok.

The national carrier is the well-regarded Thai Airways, with Bangkok Airways filling in some gaps in the nearby region. Log on to www.akbartravels.com for the best Thailand tour packages with the best flight deals and inclusive Thailand packages from India.

By Road:

You can also start your trip to Thailand with Thailand tour packages From Cambodia, Laos, Vientiane / Udon Thani, Malaysia, Singapore & Myanmar.

By Train:

Thailand's sole international train service links to Butterworth (near Penang) and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, continuing all the way to Singapore. A luxurious option within Thailand tour packages is to take the Eastern & Oriental Express, a refurbished super-luxury train that runs along the same route once per week, with gourmet dining, personal butler service and every other colonial perk you can think of.

 

By Ferry:

With our Thailand tour packages , it is now possible in high-season (Nov-May) to island-hop using ferries from Phuket all the way to Indonesia.

Islands en route:

• Ko Phi Phi

• Ko Lanta

• Ko Ngai

• Ko Mook

• Ko Bulon

• Ko Lipe

• Langkawi

• Penang

 

Ferries cross from Satun in southern Thailand to the Malaysian island of Langkawi, while over in Narathiwat Province, a vehicular ferry shuttles between Tak Bai and Pengkalan Kubur, near Kota Bharu in Malaysia's Kelantan state.

In Thailand tour packages you can also opt for occasional cruises from Malaysia and Singapore to Phuket and Bangkok, the main operator being Star Cruises, but no scheduled services.

Hotels In Thailand:

Our Thailand tour packages have a plethora of accommodation in every price bracket. Thailand has advanced a lot in recent years, with our Thailand tour packages you're now far less likely to end up in a disgusting, noisy hostel room but far more likely to get somewhere reasonably comfortable, even if may still not be quite up to western standards.

In our Thailand tour packages, you can free to opt from any of the following accomodation, including: Hostels are something not typical for Thailand. You will often get a bit more Westernized and hotel-like interiors. They will usually have both a dorm and private rooms, depending on what you are interested in. Hostels will usually always be filled with western tourists, and it is easy to make friends and socialize with the other guests. Most hostels will have decent air conditioning as well. They will almost always have free wifi, and usually a guest bar.

Guesthouses will get you a room with basic amenities and not much else, whereas better guesthouses, especially in towns with significant amount of foreign guests, have a better range of quality amenities. This makes them close to Thai hotels - however, the difference is they're more oriented to the Western clientele, and as such often offer various tours, computers and/or in-room Internet access, or even have a ground floor restaurant.

Thai hotels will be air-conditioned, your bathroom will be private, bed linen and towels will be provided, and there will be a hot shower. TVs are available except in the lower end; Internet access, though, is less likely to be present than in guesthouses; and is even less likely to be complimentary and/or in-room.

Tourist hotels offer the basics for a beach vacation: swimming pool, room service and colour TV.

Boutique hotels in contemporary times offer only a limited number of rooms but have a much more personalized service. This accommodation is perfect if you’re opting for Thailand packages for couple.

Business and luxury hotels offer every modern amenity you can think of and are largely indistinguishable from hotels anywhere else in the world. Some of them are, Bangkok's Sofitel So Bangkok, The Oriental, The Sukhothai and The Peninsula. The most luxurious resorts also fall in this price category, with some of the very best and most private.

Shopping In Thailand:

Thailand is a shopper's paradise and many visitors to Bangkok in particular end up spending much of their time in the countless markets and malls. So don’t be surprised if your Thailand trip cost exceeds your spending limits, particularly with good buys of clothing, both cheap locally produced streetwear and fancy Thai silk, and all sorts of handicrafts. Electronics and computer gear are also widely available. A Thai speciality are the night markets found in almost every town, the largest and best-known of which are in Bangkok and the Night Bazaar in Chiang Mai. Here a variety of vendors from designers to handicraft sellers have stalls selling goods which cannot normally be found in malls and day markets. Most night markets also have large open air food courts attached.

Included in our Thailand travel packages, while shopping in the country, You can also find marvelously tacky modern clothing accessories. Witness pink sandals with clear plastic platform heels filled with fake flowers. Night markets along the main roads and Bangkok's Mahboonkrong (MBK) Mall, near the Siam skytrain stop, are particularly good sources. Not to be left out is what is often touted as the world's biggest weekend bazaar - The Chatuchak Weekend Market or known to locals simply as "JJ" Market. Chatuchak sells a myriad of products ranging from clothes to antiques, covers over 35 acres (1.1 km square) and is growing by the day! Thai silk is made from the cocoon of the silkworm. It is a very complicated process and is painstakingly completed by Thai women in the Northeast region of Thailand. From raising the silkworms to the weaving of the fabric, it is a real work of art.

Celadon ceramics are another Thai signature handicraft that you don't want to miss purchasing on your visit to Thailand. Celadon ceramics have been around for hundreds of years and have been an attempt to create a type of manmade jade. The Thai people are master crafts-men and their talent shines through in the hand carved wooden items available for purchase throughout Thailand. Different types of wood are used; coconut, sandalwood and teak.

If you want to receive new experience by shopping in the most luxurious shopping mall in Thailand, you should go visit the "Siam Paragon". One of the most famous landmarks in Thailand which is located on "Rama I" Road in "Pathum Wan" district, at the middle of teenager's walking street called "Siam". You could visit Siam Paragon by driving your car or take the BTS train either at Sukhumvit or Silom lines and get off when you reach Siam station. If you’ve taken a Thailand trip from India, you might be aware that like India, refunds are very uncommon, unlike in the West where consumers have rights to refunds or exchanges for defective goods. Therefore buying expensive electronic goods can be a costly mistake.

What To Eat In Thailand:

The food alone is really reason enough for a Thailand trip from India with our Thailand trip package. Curries, fruit shakes, stir fries, fresh fish made a zillion ways - and that's just the beginning. Food in Thailand can be as cheap and easy as 25 baht pad thai (Thai fried noodles) cooked at a street stall and floating markets  or as expensive and complicated as a $100 ten-course meal by a royal chef served in one of Bangkok's 5 star hotels. Since most backpackers will be sticking closer to the first than the second, one of the great things about Thailand is that food from stalls and tiny sidewalk restaurants is usually quite safe. Unlike some Asian countries, travellers should worry more about overeating or too much curry spice than about unclean kitchens and bad food. In fact, street restaurants, where you can see what you'll get and everything is cooked on the spot can be a safe option. Be very wary of eating something spicier than you are used to on the evening before a lot of travelling!

Also, be warned, most "western" foods in Thailand are terrible especially when you’ve chosen our Thailand tour package 3 days 2 nights as you have such limited time and wouldn’t want to waste it eating food you have on the daily. Try ordering a pizza at a beachside restaurant in Koh Phangan and you may be presented with what appears to be a piece of cardboard topped with mayonnaise and ketchup. The local foods are best. In KFC in Thailand, they prefer the greasy, dark meat, not the succulent breast meat that you are used to, even in the burgers. Most "pizzas" in Thailand are topped with mayonnaise and seafood! And if you order a steak a Thai place, be prepared to receive a piece of thin, chewy shoe leather covered with a brown sauce and served with a disgusting salad drowned in salad cream. Of course, there are speciality steakhouses serving prime, imported steaks but you may be shocked to see how much they cost. It may not be as much as your Thailand trip cost from India but expect to pay $20 and up for a good quality, well-cooked Australian steak in most places. Another thing to be careful of is that many authentic Thai foods can often contain things that are unsuitable for western palates, such as lungs, tripe, heart and kidneys. In addition, Thais love to eat their meat on the bone, with skin, tendons and cartilage still attached in order to get a range of tastes and textures, something many westerners may not be used to. In touristy places, you won't get fed offal, but in markets, canteens, service stations and the like you can expect the full Thai way of eating, with entrails and chunks of congealed blood in your bowl of noodle soup.

Thai cuisine is characterized by balance and strong flavors, especially lime juice, lemon grass and fresh coriander, the combination of which gives Thai food its distinctive taste. In addition, Thai food has a deserved reputation for being spicy, with hot little torpedo-shaped chillies called phrik khii nuu making their way into many a dish. Thais are well aware that these can be more than Westerners can handle and will often ask if you like it hot; answer "yes" at your own risk! Thai dishes can be roughly categorized into central Thai food (around Bangkok), northern Thai food (from the northern region around Chiang Mai, with Burmese and Chinese influence), north-eastern Thai food (from the Isaan region bordering with Laos) and southern Thai food (with heavy influences from Malaysia). Thai-style fried chicken stalls are abundant, tasty, cheap and arguably better quality than the fast-food chains. 5-Star Chicken (Gai ha dao) is very good quality, clean and half the price of KFC. They serve wings, thighs and breast pieces for about 50 cents a pop as well as entire rotisserie-style chickens, incredible value for money.

In many touristy places, they will tailor the food for what they think a westerner wants, which means almost no chillies, no offal and organs, and a very different flavour. Whether this is a good thing or not is dependent on your tastes. Thai food is most commonly eaten with fork and spoon. Hold the spoon in your right hand and use it to eat, and reserve the fork for piling food onto your spoon. Chopsticks are only employed for noodle soups and East Asian-style dishes.

Thai food is meant for sharing. Everybody gets their own plate of rice and tiny soup bowl, but all the other dishes are laid out in the middle of the table and you're free to eat what you wish. Though some people believe that taking the last piece from a shared plate is considered slightly unlucky, and you may hear people make wishes for others to compensate for their own misfortune — a popular wish is that "may my girl/boyfriend be beautiful"! Food is also generally brought out a dish at a time as it is prepared. It is not expected for diners to wait until all meals are brought out before they start eating as is polite in western culture. Instead they should tuck into the nearest meal as it arrives.
