Koh Phi Phi

If you are visiting the Tampa Bay area in the winter then you are in for a huge treat. Many times people from the northern states like to visit Florida in the winter time in order to get away from all of the cold weather. If you are used to 30 and 20 degree temperatures then stepping off of the airplane or out of the car and feeling the warm 70 degree weather on your skin will put a smile on your face.

Although the Tampa Bay area has advantages of visiting during each season, visiting during the winter time is one of the best times to visit. during this time the weather is perfect with an median climatic characteristic of 70 degrees and approximately no rain at all. I would caution you any way to check the weather just before you leave because there are times during the winter when cold fronts arrive and the weather can be quite brisk for a few days normally no longer than a week.

Koh Phi Phi

But since this could be your entire vacation you want to make sure that you are dressed appropriately while you are visiting. Be sure to bring a sweater or a jacket if you did not check the weather so that you will not be too chilly when enjoying the outside.

Many of the festivals in the Tampa area take place during the winter time when the temperatures are mild and the humidity is not high. during the winter there is the Florida State Fair, the Strawberry Festival and the Gasparilla Pirate Fest. These occur in the months of January, February, and March. an additional one advantage of having these festivals during the winter is that they have a less likely opportunity of being rained out. So if you are in town during one of these festivals then take advantage of it.

In the winter time the water temperatures are normally too cold for people to swim. At the beaches during this time you will not find many people in the water. The ones that do choose to partake in the chilly temperatures are normally some of our Canadian neighbors to the north or people from surely cold parts of the world. Even though you may not want to swim during this time you can still visit the beaches and take in a beautiful sunset or a dining cruise.

The winter is also a great time to take in some of the beautiful parks in the area. You can visit Lettuce Lake Park, Al Lopez Park, or Hillsborough state park.

You may also want to take a walk on Bayshore Boulevard or on the Tampa Riverwalk. Visiting Busch Gardens or the Lowry Park Zoo are also great options for visiting the Tampa Bay area in the Winter time. You by all means; of course want to take advantage of all that is outdoors during this beautiful time of year.

The winter time is an perfect time to plan a trip to the Tampa Bay area. With the 70 degree temperatures, low humidity, and low chances of rain you will by all means; of course be happy you came. So get your bags packed, tickets bought, and trip planned to enjoy yourself during this phenomenal time of year. And don't forget your jacket and check the weather before you come.

Visiting Tampa in the Winter

Vietnam

The city side of the 'Pearl of Asia' mainly consists of hellish traffic in stained concrete jungles. Due to the endemic corruption many buildings were built with weak concrete and are as a ensue leprous structures, off which chunks periodically fall. The waterways fizz and bubble under toxic crusts of garbage, in cities busy by hard people. Whilst it's easy to understand why these people have come to be hardened by their century of adversity, urban Vietnam can make for tough travelling. If you are of a nervous habit and can't afford a luxury hotel to stepping back to, bypass the cities.

Koh Phi Phi

If you stray from the heritage trail and wind up in an urban disaster like for example Dong Ha near Hué, expect any fantasies you harbour about Indochinese romance to be crushed. Dong Ha seems to consist of nothing but roads.

When I ventured from my Dong Ha lodgings in a bid to slake hunger and banish boredom, I found nothing but a smelly, scruffy stall equipped with a scattering of decrepit plastic seats. Beside the stall stood a mannequin that a teenage boy began punching soon after my arrival, giving me the impression that he'd rather be punching me. I tried to sweet-talk him into taking my American dollars, which were okay in Hanoi, but finally walked away with nothing and was reduced to necking the contents of the mini-bar in my place (I won't grace it with the label 'hotel'). I then killed the light and prayed for dawn and the advent of my bus to the lovely and historic town of Hoi An.

Quite why whatever would hang around to fight over this incomparably horrible transit town is anyone's guess. But, while the Vietnam War, they did. Ferociously.

The War

An American unit called Task Force Robbie sustained 40 casualties and had four tanks knocked out over ownership of Dong Ha. Most of the dead were immolated inside their vehicles. And that was just the start of the battle, which went on to epic proportions of brutality and ended up with much hand-to-hand plunging of bayonets into bellies.

If, like many visitors, you have an appetite for the military and macabre, you'll love Vietnam, as there has been so much mayhem here. It's impossible not to recoil in vicarious horror at the barbarities inflicted by and on the Americans, Cambodians, Chinese, French and Japanese adversaries. None of these nations prevailed against the Vietnamese. Before taking the Vietcong on, the Americans should maybe have studied what happened to the French at Dien Bien Phu, where the Vietnamese dragged artillery pieces to the tops of the surrounding mountains and then used their bodies as cannon fodder to soak up the French bullets so that their suicide bombers could make it through to the French Hq.

Essentially, a la Afghanistan, whatever who messes with the Vietnamese regrets it. It's not just a modern phenomenon either, even Kublai Khan came a cropper here, his ships spiked in Halong Bay and his crews drowned or eviscerated.

Maybe it's thanks to Hollywood that so many visitors are fascinated by the war. In films like 'Full Metal Jacket', 'Apocalypse Now' and 'Platoon', the American nation's humiliation in Vietnam has been portrayed more vividly than any other war before or since. All those ghastly yet gorgeous images, lingering like retinal burns behind so many Western eyes, maybe catalogue for the enduring obsession with the war. The Government actively promotes war-tourism, maybe as it focuses concentration back on their glory days and away from a present that is slipping out of their control. It seems any way a shame that tourism in Vietnam is so obsessed with the war, as the country has much else to offer.

Top Three Destinations

If you would rather avoid the dark side, then head north and swan around the sublimely gorgeous Halong Bay in a junk. Set in a scenery that evokes an Oriental painting, this is still one of southeast Asia's most romantic and magical trips.

Alternatively, come to be engrossed in the heritage towns of Hoi An and Hué, which have more history than you can shake an Ak-47 at - and not all of it gory. There are four Unseco World heritage sites within day-trip range of Hoi An.

Phu Quoc is an up-and-coming destination and, for travellers who are finding for 5-star comfort on empty and unspoiled beaches, is arguably southeast Asia's best tropical island beach destination.

Advice

Be right what you drink. Lots of visitors to Vietnam fall prey to 'broken guts'. Unless you are positively desperate to lose weight, stick to bottled water and only eat fresh fruit when in an costly (by Vietnamese standards) restaurant.

Don't forget to bring your sense of humour with you - especially if you like beer and it shows. Person will likely rub your belly and say the word 'baby'. These gibes are normally accompanied by Thai-style impish smiles that you just might find funny, unless you are a bit touchy, as this writer was, due to his excess weight having been only recently acquired.

Food

Traditional Vietnamese food is tasty, but when fused with the French influences to be found in the many sensational restaurants, it is simply sensational. It is maybe an embellishment to state that there is not an epicure's on the planet who will be disappointed with the food in Vietnam, but not much of an exaggeration.

Readers who are upset by cruelty to animals are advised against reading this paragraph. In a country where every endangered species is on the menu, dogs, cats and snakes are consumed with relish. Vietnamese tradition holds that dog meat is unsuitable for consumption by women, as it breeds lust and should thus only be eaten by men, who are espoused as the only gender in which lust is an approved feeling. In the past the meat was tenderised by very moderately beating the dog to death with a rubber mallet, but these days restaurants are ordinarily too busy to do this, unless diners specially invite them to do so and are willing to pay extra for the service. Snakes are displayed tangled like spaghetti in cages, so diners can opt a serpent that takes their fancy.

Part of the entertainment is watching the waiter reach in to passage the snake, for which he will expect a good tip if he eschews gloves. A favourite dish is for the chef to cut a living cobra's heart out at the table and for the diner to then swallow it, still beating, in a glass of rice wine. Black cat kebab is also to be found on menus, supposedly due to its efficacy as a dish that can cure all sorts of ailments. Don't bother to try testing this claim though, as virtually none of the cats on the menu will be black, due to this type of cat, along with many species of animal, having been almost exterminated in the cooks' pots. The terrified animals in the cages behind the restaurant, smelling their up-to-date companions' blood and wondering either it's their turn next, have mostly brown fur.

Focus on Vietnam

Time's up!!

When it comes to suing for eye injuries, there's no time like the present.

Phi Phi Island

The lawsuit must be filed before the expiration of the Statute of Limitations deadline. Statutes of Limitations deadlines for eye injuries vary from state to state and from case to case. Generally, minors have two years from their 18th birthday to sue.

Different Statutes of Limitations deadlines apply to other kinds of injury cases. For example, in curative malpractice cases, in most states, you have a set whole of years from the date you first discovered or should have discovered the malpractice to file the lawsuit.

Patna - aged Patliputra

In a good year, in excess of four million habitancy visit Phuket in Thailand. A lot of those visitors will love it. Some will love it so much that they want to live here.

Every year thousands of habitancy come to Phuket hoping to set up a new life on a tropical island. Many of them need to make a living and speedily scrutinize that employment opportunities for foreigners are very limited. So what are their options? Well one of the most likely avenues is to spend in your own business. And what is the easiest business to get into? Owning a bar.

Phi Phi Island

To many habitancy it sounds like a dream. A life on a tropical island, days by the beach and evenings partying in your bar. But does the reality match the dream?

It is something I considered doing when I first arrived in Phuket. I checked out the options; spoke with estate agents, bar owners, even bar girls. In the end, I decided it just wasn't worth it.

I was new to Phuket and still naive to many of the pitfalls that await bar owners but even then, I could see there were so many problems with owning a bar in Phuket. To begin with, 'owning a bar' is a misnomer as you will practically legitimately be leasing and probably at very unfavourable terms.

It is difficult to make a decent living from a bar and in fact most fail in the first two years. Even if your bar does make money, your working status will probably be illegal. The laws in Thailand are stacked against foreigners owning a small business.

As much as all these things concerned me, they were not my biggest concern. The biggest factor in turning me away from owning a bar was the lifestyle. I got to know quite a few bar owners and when I looked at their lives, I knew it wasn't for me. It is just such a crap life.

Don't get me wrong. I love a night on the beer. Even several nights on the beer. But having to do it every night at the same bar as a job? It would soon lose its charm not to mention the confident health problems that go with such a lifestyle.

Since I made that decision to leave the bar business alone, there has not been one second when I have looked back and regretted it. I know fullness of bar owners and reconsider several to be friends but I never envy their lives. Recently, the untimely death of one of those friends legitimately drove it home for me.

He was not yet 50 years old. He owned a bar in one of the sois (side streets) off Soi Bangla in Patong. He was a nice guy, easy going and easy to talk to. Although I saw him no more than once a week, we all the time enjoyed a good chat and he was one of my favourite bar owners.

Over the former year, he had a few health problems. He had been in hospital several times and the guidance from the doctors was plain and clear - stop drinking!

The qoute is it is very difficult to stop drinking when you are a bar owner. The two things that bring customers to these small bars are the girls and the owner. And often the girls will not work very well if the owner is not there.

Regular customers like to have a chat with the owner. Often, if the owner is not there they will just move on to the next bar. Quite naturally for these bars to work, the owner has to be there most of the time.

So couldn't my friend have drunk soft drinks? Well he did that for a few days but the boredom got to him. You spend the evening sitting at your bar, bombarded with the deafening music that these bar complexes seem to think is a good drinking ambience. For a good part of the evening, you may not have any customers, but still you need to be there just in case. You can watch the Tv but you can't hear it. Your only business is the bar girls who are probably nagging for time off or free drink.

And when the customers do arrive, they want to get drunk and they want you to get drunk with them. Of course, it is okay for the customers. If they are on holiday, they are only doing it for two weeks before they return to their quarterly lives. The bar owner is doing it night-after-night, year-after-year.

They offer to buy you drinks and it is bad business not to accept. If you do keep your discipline and stay sober then the evening is insufferable. Drunks are very piquant when you are drunk with them. When you are sober, there is nothing worse than trying to laugh at their inane ramblings.

So despite the doctor's warnings, my friend was soon drinking again. It just goes with the territory of owning a bar; you are going to drink a lot.

It all caught up with my friend. He had a bad motorcycle accident. He never drove drunk but motorcycle accidents happen legitimately out here. He discharged himself from hospital too quickly, again ignoring doctor's advice. His next boozing session was too much for a body that was tired of it. He passed away in his sleep.

The crazy thing is he didn't even need the bar. He had worked hard in his home country and was in a position to retire. I and other friends had tried to persuade him to give it up. The qoute was he was one of the few bar owners who was production a good profit and he found it hard to walk away from a good business. In the end he was too good at being a bar owner for his own good.

The strange thing is most of the habitancy who buy into bars have come to Phuket for a good lifestyle. They want to live in a tropical island paradise. Phuket is their dream home and owning a bar is how they will fund their life here. The qoute is owning a bar excludes them from enjoying the island.

Most bar owners wake up mid-afternoon with a hangover. They lounge colse to their budget apartment shaking off the hangover until it is time to go into the bar and start work again. They could do this anywhere. Phuket's glorious beaches, islands and other traveler attractions are irrelevant to the bar owners because they hardly see them.

I know a concentrate of bar owners who did not even know there had been a tsunami until the evening when they set off to work. I know someone else who after three years in Phuket had not yet seen Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi Islands, Nai Yang Beach, Nai Harn Beach, in fact in any place more than a few kilometers from Patong.

I don't want to totally put off possible bar owners. I just want to open their eyes to the sort of life they will be buying into. I think for the right type of character, under the right circumstances, it is an okay option. If you are young, you can handle this lifestyle much better. I know when I was in my twenties I did lots of boozing and was all the time able to shake it off ready for the next session. As you get older, your powers of rescue diminish.

For somebody who is looking for a concentrate of years partying and is willing to get in and out, owning a bar in Phuket is a decent option. If you have the sort of discipline where you can go to the bar and entertain customers without getting drunk every night, then maybe it is for you. But as a long-term source of revenue - for most habitancy it is just not worth the sacrifice.

Another bar owner friend decided to sell up after a concentrate of years in the business. He was a young guy and his bar was production him a living. The qoute was he had got to the stage where he hated his bar. He hated going to the same place night after night, he was sick and tired of dealing with bargirls and their petty squabbles and he was tired of feeling crap all the time.

So he sold up and got out with a nice puny profit. It wasn't until after he sold the bar that he discovered the speculate why he felt crap all the time. It wasn't just the hangovers; they were masking the real problem. He had Leukemia.

I'm not saying that owning a bar legitimately caused his Leukemia but it legitimately did not help his body deal with it. What it did do was put him in a frame of mind where he notion it was general to feel bad all the time and he appropriate it. Fortunately, he got out in time, was diagnosed and returned to his home country where he was successfully treated.

He is now all clear and he hopes that one day he can move back to Thailand. At the moment, his quarterly check-ups prohibit that. He says that now he looks back at his time in Phuket and realises he was in a rut. He was production sufficient money to live but he couldn't save anything. His life revolved colse to going to his bar every night so he was just not doing the things that drew him to Thailand in the first place. He would never return to the bar business in Patong.

So to recap. If you are mental about becoming a bar owner in Patong, what can you expect? Well you will spend most nights sitting at your bar waiting for customers and listening to dreadful, loud music. You will struggle to make a worthwhile profit. You will have to deal with the antics of your bar girls. You can settle to either spend your evenings sober and bored or drunk and happy.

Assuming you go for the drunk and happy selection (most bar owners do) you will at last pay for it. I don't know a singular bar owner who looks like a photo of health. It is a demanding life and if you do it long term you are probably taking a few years off your life expectancy.

You could take the attitude that work is all the time crap. It is crap in your my home country so you might as well have crap work in Phuket. Well fair enough, as long as you go into the bar business with your eyes open and not with some rose-tinted foresight of days by the beach and nights partying.

Owning A Bar On A Tropical Island - Is It truly A Dream?

I spent two years in Bangkok before I decided that I'd had enough. It was nothing against the city, but I just felt as if I needed a change. I was given an chance to work in Phuket and I took it. Twelve months later and I feel a craving to return to Bangkok, but I won't, because I've been there and done that.

People often ask me what it's like in Phuket. I receive numerous emails from habitancy mulling the idea of bright to the island.

Phuket

Different habitancy come to Phuket with dissimilar expectations and dissimilar ideas. When I came to Phuket, I had a fair idea of what the place was like. Phuket is a large island. There are more than 10 main beaches and just as many islands dotted nearby the coast. For this reason, you can find whatever it is you're seeing for in Phuket.

If you want unspoiled beachfront, then head to Mai Khao Beach or Yanui Beach. If you want rowdy nightlife then go to Patong Beach. For surfing you ought to check out Kata Beach. There are even a few splashes of Sino-Portugese culture in Phuket Town.

I live on the outskirts of Phuket Town. I have easy passage to decent restaurants, shops, beaches, everything really. While I don't plan to stay in Phuket forever, I am glad to have lived on the island and for real seen it for its good and its bad side.

I'd propose to whatever to spend a bit of time in Phuket to for real see what the place is about.

However, after spending the best part of a year in Phuket, there's something about the island that just hasn't clicked with me.

After Bangkok and Pattaya, Phuket is the destination within Thailand that attracts the most expats. habitancy come to Phuket in crusade of beaches, romance, work, whatever. It isn't the aesthetics of Phuket that bugs me - there are enough gorgeous Phuket beaches and islands to keep whatever happy; it's the lack of operation that can be a bit of a downer.

Coming from Bangkok down to Phuket, there are stark differences that I haven't been able to get over, no matter how hard I try and convince myself that I'm happy in Phuket. For a start, the collective scene sucks. You just don't have the same mix of like-minded habitancy as you do in Bangkok.

Then there's Phuket nightlife. I'm not necessarily referring to just clubs and bars, but to everything that goes on once the sun sets. In Phuket, you can't stray out at 2 am and find habitancy all over the place. You can't even travel nearby the island after dark for fear of being mugged if you're on a bike or being ripped off if you're riding in a tuk-tuk.

One year in Phuket has left me sure that the island is not a place I want to determine on. However, my idea of paradise is, of course, not the same as the next person's, which is why many habitancy come to Phuket and never leave.

The Lowdown on Phuket

If you are planning for a holiday trip that would be memorable and at the same time would not burn a hole in your pocket then tour Thailand. Although, it is not among the best traveler locations, it legitimately is nothing less than a paradise for those who love to mix themselves into new culture and new experiences. Thailand is a place that provides you with a lot of activities and free time as well. You will find a lot of ethnic culture, food, customs, traditions, places and people that will take you into a new world that you would have never heard about.

Today, Thailand earns nearby six percent of its national Gdp through tourism and as per the tour experts; Thailand will soon become one of the most preferred locations in the Southeast Asia because people do not have to spend out more on their tour. The ferries and bus converyance in Thailand is comparatively cheaper and therefore international tourists are willing to move from one part of the country to an additional one without any problems. As per the study in 2009, more than 14 million international visitors had visited Thailand which is a increase of 7 percent from the earlier years and it is predicted that the number of visitors to Thailand will grow in 2010 as well.

Songkran Phi Phi

If you are planning to tour Thailand make sure that you find a good hotel over there which fits your budget rather than going for high-priced accommodation. Since Thailand has more natural resources, the real satisfaction is when you enjoy your stay in natural environment like on beaches and places nearby beaches. However, if you love to visit Thailand when it is not crowded than make sure you visit Thailand in the month of January to May because during these months you will find that there are not many tourists nearby and the weather too is warm so you can make the most of out the weather.

Thailand has a lot of attractions apart from natural landscapes. If you are in Thailand make sure that you visit places like Phanom Rung, Buddhist temples and other World patrimony sites. If you love to partake and watch the culture of Thailand than do watch some of the beloved festivals in Thailand like Songkran, Rocket Festival and Phi Ta Kon festival. These festivals mostly happen in the month of March to May because the climate is pleasant and warm. You can even try the tasty Thai cuisine when you are roaming dissimilar places in Thailand.

Tour Thailand facts

Thailand, or the 'land of smiles', is one of the most exotic places to visit for tourists on the face of the planet. Thailand will certainly be in the list of '10 places to visit before I die' for many. Why is Thailand so popular and one of the most visited countries in the world? There is more than one speculate for that.

Not for nothing do they call Thailand the 'land of smiles'. There is a good speculate why the country has by christened by that name. Thai's are one of those who are known for their hospitality and well mannered behavior. These people are very good at heart and make sure that all the people who visit their country have the best time of their life. This is a very good speculate to visit Thailand but there are more in the list of 'why you should visit Thailand'.

Phi Phi Beach

The rich culture and history that Thailand flaunts is another factor that makes it traveled by whole of people every year. There are numerous temples beholding some unique history within them. The Grand Palace and the temple of Emerald Buddha in Bangkok are worth a visit. From there, weather you trip North to the Chiang Mai or South towards Phuket, you will come over temples with inevitable history that teaches assorted aspects of Thai culture. Ayutthaya ruins is another major traveler spot and is Unesco's world legacy spot. However there are more than temples and ruins in Thailand to visit.

Mountainous rainforest of the north thrills many. If you are interested in trekking Jungles and looking for some real adventure, you can get it in Chiang Mai. You will also have the privilege to visit small but beautiful Thai villages with people who may go out of their way to make your Thailand feel a one to remember. If you are looking for some serenity, you great head towards South. Southern Thailand offers you some of the most pristine beaches you will ever come over in the East. Koh Phi Phi is one of the most popular beaches in Thailand. This is the same beach that has been portrayed in the Di Caprio starring movie, The Beach.

Shopping is another speculate why people would visit Thailand. Bangkok is becoming shoppers stop for many colse to the world. There are massive shopping malls all colse to the city with some great prices that they offer for their products. Siam, Paragon and Central World are the names of the biggest shopping malls in Bangkok, if you want to do some branded shopping. Having been done with the malls, do not forget to miss out the weekend Chatuchak market, which is the biggest open shop in the world with more than 15,000 stalls and hundreds of thousands of people visiting the market.

All these factors attract visitors from all colse to the world and there is no wonder that Thailand is such a 'must visit' place. Every person should visit Thailand at least once in their lifetime.

Thailand - The Land of Smiles

With one side facing Andaman Sea and the other side facing Gulf of Thailand, Thailand has more than 1000 miles of coastline. Many spicy beach resorts are clustered around these coast lines and have come to be the original attractions for Thailand vacations lover.
