Many backpackers will choose South East Asia as one of their starting points and Thailand is a great place to get your trip started. Accommodation in Thailand can be very cheap and on the other extreme 5 star but for backpacking you will find there are great low cost options available. No requirement is needed for advance bookings, at almost any time of the year you will find backpacker accommodation options throughout Thailand.
Thailand is an easy place to get around in and there are so many different forms of transport, boats, buses, trains, planes, taxis and almost everything is at very little cost. Costs are definitely much cheaper than most European countries so it is a great place for the European travelers to visit.
On offer in Thailand are great mixtures of cultures as well as amazing forests and trekking options for the Northern parts and you can not miss out on the beautiful beaches in the South of Thailand.
Most travelers will arrive in Bangkok and from there start their journey around the rest of Thailand. From Bangkok the options are to head north for the forests and trekking or head to the South for the beaches and sunshine style of a summer holiday almost all year around.
There are a multitude of things to do in Bangkok as well and wonderful places to visit. Travel around in Bangkok is also easy with the Skyrail and underground and the tourist areas are filled with local travel options such as the tuk tuk. Accommodation again can be found every where in various price ranges and Bangkok generally costs are a little higher and in some areas standards are a little lower but if you are starting out in Bangkok you will find things will only improve.
The backpacking district in Bangkok is an area called Koh San Road and this is the place where the majority of low cost hostels and hotel rooms will be found. There are nightly markets and the food is not expensive. If you can’t last a few days without the comforts of home you will also find that most large cities, as with Bangkok, will have any number of fast food chain options available to you.
Backpackers will when heading to the South usually visit places such as Koh Tao, Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. These are probably more the party areas especially Koh Phangan which is host to the monthly Full Moon parties. During this period there can be some issues with accommodation but often the parties extend on into the early morning and many sleep on the beach. These areas are on the East Coast and from here the backpackers will often move on to Krabi, Koh Phi Phi, Phuket and Khao Lak.
You will find that all areas in the South offer great options for learning to dive or diving if you are already qualified, the cheaper areas generally being on the East Coast. Often there are diving packages on offer that will include your accommodation during the period of the course and these are a great favorite to many potential divers and often this is exactly what options they choose for their accommodation in this area.
At every place you are in Thailand whether it is the North or the South you will find that there are cheap and easy ways to get around and the possibility to purchase your accommodations from start to finish. However as a backpacker you should talk with other travelers and get as many recommendations from them for places to stay as they have done the journey already in many cases. However if you do not book any accommodation and just arrive at your destination within Thailand you will find there will be a multitude of people waiting for you to depart from whatever form of transport you have chosen and they will offer you numerous accommodation choices. These will not always be at the best costs but when you first arrive and especially if it is late then as you have had a few days in Thailand decide how much you are willing to pay and if they give you the right price why not take it.
There are a lot of tips and hints to be found about travel and accommodation in Thailand and the use of travel books and forums and blogs comments from others who have already visit are a great source of education for your trip. Get all the information you can before you go and you will find as a backpacker you can have a great holiday at very little cost. In fact you will probably spend most of your money on your drinking!
It’s about time for the SEA Games 2009 – the biggest sports tournament in South East Asia region. This could make all people in Laos become more and more exciting as it will be the first time in history for their nation to be the host of this major regional event which has been established for 50 years this time around. I believed that they’re now more than ready to greet and welcome everyone to the tournament already and now I guess it’s time for ourselves to get prepared.
The final test-run of the opening and closing ceremony was held last weekend (28th Nov). Everything seemed to go well with more than 20,000 spectators took their seats at the National Stadium in Vientiane. Most of the games are also planned to take place in the capital city. Although, due to the lack of financial resources and limited sports facilities, there will be less number of sports playing in the tourment e.g. from 43 games from last tournament in Bangkok to 28 games, but all the major ones will certainly be included in the list such as golf, soccer, swimming, badminton, tennis, boxing and Sepak Takraw.
So this can be a good opportunity for someone who failed to reserve their holidays during Christmas break. South East Asia will always welcome you. Let’s book your flight and hotel for travelling to Vientiane for the 25th SEA Games, you will have great chances to get involve in the unique friendly atmostphere in South East Asia.
Vientiane is now changing a lot (in case you’ve been there before). With the financial injection and collabolations from their good neighbors like Thailand, China and Vietnam. Many restructuring projects on the basic infrastructure like roads have been introduced to this city in the past recent years. So Let’s book your trip to Vientaine now!! The 25th SEA Games and this little country is waiting to welcome you all. The games start from December 9 – December 18, 2009.

All I read nowadays is Web 2.0 and social sites – like myspace, digg and del.icio.us. These are sites that are full-blown communities on-line. We have seen the Internet lean this way and it is not going to change. It is only going to grow.
Now, when I post to a blog – I add it to the social sites. When I write an article – I add it to the social sites. I have accounts at the social sites and I add articles there – and then add them to other social sites. It all goes round and round.
These social sites are great places to put your articles or link your articles or blog entries. They are very highly ranked at teh search engines and links get indexed in a day or so. This can drive enormous amounts of traffic to your web sites.
Sites, like Squidoo, Digg, MySpace, HubPages can be easily set up and text and links can be added simply. The more folks that visit your sites at these social sites will then visit your other web sites – the ones where you make real money.
So, create accounts at Digg, Technorati, Squidoo and the others, add some content and watch the visitors magically appear.
Now, if you really want to get the traffic rolling – go to Pligg.com and create your own Content Management Site (CMS) that looks similar to Digg and have people add articles to your site. This CMS is very simple to upload and install – and with the templates – easy to configure to make your very own. Folks will come to read, add, vote, recommend – just like Digg.
Interlink these sites with links back and forth to each of the sites. Promote your sites on all of these social bookmarking sites and the traffic will be continuous.
Join Web 2.0 the easy way.
About 5 years ago, I decided that I wanted to travel to Southeast Asia. The reason? Just to explore and expose myself to something totally new. It was important for me to do this in order to grow intellectually and have a better understanding of other cultures as well as my own. So I started researching flight costs on the Internet. I checked out all the big websites like Orbitz.com and Expedia.com and also tried specific airlines (just to get an idea on costs). I was surprised at how inexpensive it was. I was expecting to see tickets range from $2000-$5000 since it can cost close to $1100 just to travel from coast to coast in the US. Instead, I saw prices ranging from $700-$1800. I was shocked. All this time I’ve been putting off traveling and it was only $700 away? I felt cheated. Since I didn’t have any specific date in mind I played around with different dates/times of year and durations. I finally decided to go in the off-season of summer (it was going to be REALLY hot there) and set a timeframe of 3 weeks. I had no further itinerary and I wanted to keep it that way. I like being able to take things as they come and modify my adventure according to what grabs me when I’m there.
I booked a flight about 3 months in advance for $716. Left San Francisco for a layover in Tokyo and then I had to transfer planes to Bangkok. The total trip took about 17 hours. I know it sounds bad, but it wasn’t at all! Japan airlines (JAL) had video screen in front of each seat with several movies to watch and games to play. I watched two movies, took a long nap and I was in Japan. My other plane wasn’t quite as plush. It was an Asia-based airline, which seemed to be on an old plane, but the food was good and not as many people so I could spread out onto three seats to sleep.
My time spent in Thailand was unforgettable and I hold these memories of the culture and people quite dear to me. I have an entirely new perspective of a world that I never really knew existed. It also helped me to become more appreciative of my own culture and of foreigners. It takes a lot of guts to travel outside your comfort zone, but the effort is well worth it and in my opinion necessary to grow as an individual.
The lessons I learned in this process of traveling as cheaply as possible (since I don’t make a lot of money) is to keep your schedule loose and try as many different dates and durations in order to find the best prices. Layovers are typically going to be cheap that direct flights, and in some cases direct flights just aren’t even possible. The trick is that there is no trick. There is also no magic process to find the best deals. You have to research and learn by doing. If I had to do it all again, I’d probably travel use more taxis or hire a personal driver to show me around as I didn’t realize till later how cheap these things are in a third world country.

There is currently a big buzz around the terms social bookmarking and due to its fairly new introduction to the market, many people are confused as how to go about market effectively in these web 2.0 sites. For those new to this term, a social bookmarking website is a site where users can post their own article information from their own site/blog and other people can vote on them. If many people vote on your content, then your article will be visible on the main page of the site, which could translate to ten thousands and even more users to your website. However, usually your article will not stay there for very long as there are many other sites posting articles all the time and wanting this position.
To most effectively market yourself in these social bookmarking websites, it is very important to not spam in these communities. You first need to lurk around on the website to get a feel for the atmosphere. Once you have a better understanding of the culture on this social bookmarking website, you can introduce yourself. Remember to not only make postings of your own information but to be active and vote for other people as well. When you are very active and give lots of credit to other sites, people will respect you more and more. As a consequence, they will start voting on your information. If you just post your own information and if they are full of self promotion or low quality content, you can expect your site to be banned from this social bookmarking website.
Another important element is to lurk around on various websites and find one in your niche. The reason why you should use one in your niche, is because the competition is less and also it will be easier to build up your profile as an expert in the field. Once you have been on a social bookmarking website as an active and responsible user, many users would like to syndicate your information on their websites. So the key is not only to appear on the main page of the social bookmarking website but to distribute quality and useful content which the users will like and therefore, they will syndicate all your new postings on their website. This can become extremely powerful advertising tool, so make sure you do your research first before you post and becoming active in the social bookmarking website. Not only will it bring traffic but the referrers will also trust you more. This will results in more sales for your business and could lead to long term relationships. So how many social bookmarking websites should you participate in? Do not get involved in lots of websites as you will not be able to keep up a quality profile in the long term. I would recommend to pick max 3 niche websites to focus your efforts on. You will find out that this will take up lots of your time already. It is very important to build authority so keep watching what people vote on the most. Also look at the big guys in that social bookmarking site and try to emulate their techniques and writing style.

With the support of the Board of Investment of Thailand and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, The Beaches will be the new shining symbol of the country and will be the benchmark of destination resorts in Asia.
It has also joined with True Corporation, one of Thailand’s largest technology companies, to create Thailand’s first wireless lifestyle convergent communities which will feature state-of-the-art technology throughout the entire project.
The masterplan architect and designers behind the success of The Beaches Resort & Residences are award winning world class design firms – Carl Ettensperger of C&C Studio and Terry Henriksen of Henriksen Design Ltd, who have worked on 5-star hotel projects such as Mandarin Oriental, Hyatt Hotels, Ritz Carlton, Siam Paragon Bangkok, Huvafen Fushi Maldives (2008 Worlds Best Beach Resort, Harpers Bazaar Travel), Hard Rock Hotel – Universal Studios, Florida, and many more prestigious resorts.
Set over 88 rai of landscaped gardens, man-made beaches, and water lagoons, The Beaches private community will have four grand 5-star hotels, stunning water villas and Private Residences. The Beaches Resort has the best of everything – International Waterpark and Surf Park, The Beaches Longevity & Wellness Spa, state-of-the-art fitness club, a Grande Promenade with an international village with over 20 restaurants and retail, tennis academy and a Watersport centre. It is also centrally located in the heart of Thailand in Bang Saray Bay, a tropical oasis – 10 minutes from Pattaya and only 90 minutes from Bangkok
Chairman and CEO of Pacific Shore Developments, Liakat Sultan Dhanji, has been responsible for making the brand a success. According to him, Thailand needs something distinctive if it is going to stand out against the stiff competition developing in the region.
V9 Design & Build, were invited to build the resort’s website and, from initial discussions with Mr Dhanji, ideas were centred on creating an architecture that would concentrate on eMarketing by employing Web 2.0 technologies.
Living in Bangkok, you see glitzy front-page supplements that dominate Thailand’s English dailies, full-page magazine and newspaper colour ads that abound large project launches, and the billboards that predominate the city and Skytrain. You can only imagine the cost of such publicity and its significant impact on a project’s bottom line.
That is not to say that elegantly-produced brochures and local media advertising doesn’t have merit, but it has always seemed that it is a sort of marketing overkill — a gunshot rather than rifle approach to project exposure.
Professional blogging: it increases company revenue over time through the marketing and relationship building power. The ability to write effective, interesting, and informative blog posts has proved itself be a highly cost effective option.
It is even more effective when added as a seamless addition to a resort’s website for several reasons. First, Google and the other major search engines like content and change which adds value to a site’s PageRank™; it extends keyword range; it is disseminated to the world’s largest blog directories; and it is accompanied by RSS. Article writing and press releases can be submitted to the world’s largest websites, especially two that are associated with Google and Yahoo.
Over the last few years, search engines have made it increasingly difficult to reach a targeted audience. Gone are the days of mailers, link exchanges and non-industry-related links. Even with ezines, there’s no guarantee you will be read. A great alternative to this is RSS (Really Simple Syndication). It is not a well-known method for companies to publish and distribute content in this format (e.g. publicity releases, news, newsletters and articles). Syndication means you don’t have to visit each site individually to see what’s new — you simply scan headline summaries in a reader and click to read the full text.
Most real estate projects use Flash technology that presents brilliantly-animated images but fail with their eMarketing efforts because of it. Search engines cannot see beyond the front page. There are two large property developers in Thailand, both of which have projects that have only their home pages listed. Both are poor examples of internet marketing and are therefore spending fortunes on print advertising. In contrast, The Beaches will bypass outdated marketing methods by creating a wealth of exposure, both in Thailand and internationally.
The Beaches, to our knowledge, will be the first large-scale real estate development project in Asia to employ Web 2.0 as its online publicity vehicle.
