TRAVEL guide THAILAND: A live travel piece for this edition as Christina is currently in situ! This is part one of her adventure. Having flown into Bangkok via Dubai (splitting the flight into two digestible 6 and a half hour sections), we arrived to warm and dry conditions despite it being rainy season. Bangkok is a crazy, busy, fascinating city and a great place to start a visit to Thailand as long as you have a relaxing end planned! We visited the obligatory night markets and wandered around the streets with vendors selling everything from fresh fish to fake handbags. The following day we had an adventure planned. We got up early and were driven 2 hours out of the city into the lush green countryside to a place called , The Flight of the Gibbons to do a few hours of zip lining! It was less terrifying than I had anticipated, and really very beautiful being above the treetops and zipping down 30 individual wires. The day was finished off with a trip around an open zoo where the animals were in (sometimes worrying) touching distance. The next day we were picked up at the crack of dawn to go to the floating market, which is an amazing experience. We travelled along the river on a long tail boat and then got dropped off and left to our own devices for a few hours. We chose to see the markets by boat and so paid 100 baht for a lady to row us through the canal network. We could stop at whichever boat we wanted to buy from. They have a full array of fruits and vegetables for sale, as well as beautifully fresh food being cooked on the river boats. You can also buy souvenirs and clothes here. It was a lovely morning and got us back into Bangkok in time to visit the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, both of which are serene and quiet oasis in the middle of the bustling city. After a few busy hot days in Bangkok we were ready for the relaxing part of our trip, and made our way to the airport for our flight to Koh Samui. It was a seamless journey and within 3 hours of leaving our hotel in the city ,we were on a beautiful white beach on Koh Samui. The island is large and there is plenty to see and do here. The plan is an island tour to see the waterfalls and rock formations, but then also to take a boat to Koh Phanang to do some snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters. I am heading back to Thailand in October to see Elephant Hills and visit Phuket, so my next travel piece will be an insight into another side of Thailand. The best time to visit is usually December to May but the weather is glorious here in Koh Samui at the moment. Prices are at their lowest during our summer. There are many direct and indirect flight options with various airlines, so we are spoilt for choice. The time change is 7 hours and the local currency is the Thai Baht. At Milford Travel we can arrange all of your travel requirements to Thailand so please call 01590 644899 or visit us at 78 High Street, Milford on Sea or email enquiries@milford-travel.com.
