Thailand - 5 Things to Do That You Might Regret Not Doing

If you're thinking about a place where you can enjoy this summer to the best of its potential, then the best place to go is Thailand. From beaches to bars, and from shopping to movies, this country is the epitome of enjoyment and relaxation when on holiday.

To start off your journey, here is a list of five things you must do when in Thailand. This check list is to make sure that you not only see the regular tourist spots, but also experience the best that this country has to offer to its tourists, besides its beautiful attractions.

- First, go to the beach. You can go to Phuket where you can either check into a cheaper hotel off the coast, or a slightly more expensive one, depending on your budget. You can also book yourself accommodation on Koh So Mui or Koh Phi Phi, both of which are beautiful islands with warm water and a wide variety of touristy things to do. When on the beach, you can take part in water sports such as jet skiing, water skiing, or para-sailing, or you could also go scuba diving by booking through one of the local tour operators.

- Next, make sure you see the nightlife on Patong Beach in Phuket. The main beach on Phuket Island is crowded with people at night, and the endless line of pubs and bars is filled with party goers till early morning.

- Go to a Muay Tahi match. This is the land where Muay Thai originated, so once you are here make sure you watch at least one. This is one of the most popular sports in the country. However, if you cannot tolerate violence then you are advised to skip it. Most matches are held on Friday nights, and you can ask a local tour operator to guide you in purchasing tickets for one.

- Watch a movie. While this may seem like a waste of time on a vacation, you will discover for yourself that Thailand has the best cinemas in the world. They are extremely modern and equipped with the latest systems. Thailand offers VIP and First Class cinemas too, where you are given service akin to a five-star hotel. With massive lounges, complimentary snacks and beverages, and only 20 to 40 people in the cinema with you, you will feel as if you are at a private cinema screening. Most cinemas even offer pillows and blankets, and waiters who serve you food.

- Bangkok is filled with malls and markets offering you all sorts of products at quite reasonable prices. You can usually bargain items down to half the original price, and even if you end up paying slightly more than a local would, it will still be much cheaper than the goods you may buy from some other place - definitely at home. Moreover, you can go to Sukhumvit or the Night Plaza in Patpong for good prices.

So, these are the five things that you must do when in Thailand in order to experience the best that this country has to offer to its tourists. Of course, you should also do the regular tourist sightseeing, but these five things will truly cause you to fall in love with this country, and draw you back again and again.
