Then start on one of Ko Pha-Ngan’s secluded beaches in the west or east to live out your ultimate castaway fantasies. For the second half of the week choose between partying in Hat Rin, pampering over on Ko Samui, or diving on li’l Ko Tao. TWO WEEKS Start on Ko Tao with a 3½-day Open Water certifi cation course (or, if you already have your diving licence, sign up for a few fun dives). Slide over to Ko Pha-Ngan and soak up the sociable vibe in party-prone Hat Rin. Then, grab a long-tail and your luggage and make your way to one of the island’s hidden coves for a few days of detoxing and quiet contemplation. Ko Samui is next on the agenda. Try Bo Phut for boutique sleeps, or live it up like a rock star on Chaweng or Choeng Mon beach. And, if you have time, do a day trip to Ang Thong Marine National Park. ONE MONTH Follow the two-week itinerary at a more relaxed pace, infusing many extra beach-book- and-blanket days on all three islands. Be sure to plan your schedule around the Full Moon Party, which takes place at Hat Rin’s Sunrise Beach on Ko Pha-Ngan. 539 e 05km Ko Samui # 02.5miles ‚ ‚ To Ko Pha-Ngan (15km); To Ko Pha-Ngan Ao Samrong (25km) Wat Na Phalan Ko Tao (62km) Laem Na Ko Som Ú# Ao Bang Po Ú# Wat Plai Laem Phra Lan Wat Ban Tai #\ Hat Choeng Mon Ban Bang Po #\ Ù# Laem 66666Sai Phra Yai Ù# Laem Yai Hat Mae Nam f# Ko Fan Yai #\ Ú# Hat Bo Phut Ban Mae Nam Big î# Hyperbaric #\ Ù# Hat Ang Thong Ban Bo Phut BuddhaÙ# Chamber Ù# ö# R(467m) 4444Beach 4 ö# î# #– Airport Bandon ‚ f# #\ ö# Ko Matlang Na Thon International î# To Surat Samui 666666Tourist R Hospital 4International (465m) Chaweng Thani Police ñ# Ban Lipa Yai #\ Lake Hospital (76km) # Immigration Office î# # Y Samui Ú# Hat Chaweng Hospital Nam Tok Hin Lat ö# Ù# ‚ Wat Hin Lat R To Ang Thong Ban Lipa Noi #\ Khao Pom Ù# Marine National #\ (630m) Hat Chaweng

  • Medical Hub of Asia March 2012
    Medical Hub of Asia Thailand: Medical Hub of Asia March 2012 Thailand is the medical hub of Asia and one of the world’s leading destinations for such services. With a first-rate health care technology infrastructure, the Thai medical services industry provides quality on par with developed countries yet at a fraction of the cost. Recognizing both the Kingdom’s capacity to deliver world-class treatment and the substantial demand from abroad, the Thai government is focusing development on three major areas: medical services, health care such as spas and traditional massage, and herbal products. This includes medical tourism, with projects concentrated in the high tourist areas: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Surat Thani, Pattaya and Hua Hin. The country is also renowned for alternative medicine such as meditation, yoga and Thai massage, with these services delivered by private providers and specialized medical centers. Just as investment in high-tech care equipment continues to rise, opportunities are also expanding in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors. Affordable First-Class Quality With over 1,000 public and 400 private hospitals operating at high standards and fully equipped with internationally trained physicians, Thai medical service provides excellent care at very competitive prices. The prevalence of physicians with overseas training and hospitals’ multilingual staffs also means there are no communication barriers for foreign patients. Each year the country attracts about 2 million medical tourists from abroad. The most prominent treatments requested by the foreign patients are general check-ups, dental care, hip replacements, laser eye surgery, kidney transplants and heart surgery. In comparison, some surgeries conducted in Thailand are as much as 90% less expensive than in the United States.

This is my first visit to Singapore and I am completely impressed with the Icountry’s beauty, cleanliness and the round-the-clock energy. What captivated my attention, as soon as I landed here, was the absolute cleanliness reflected across the country. Right from Changi Airport, which is a tourist attraction in itself, for its spectacular architecture, to the small lanes; this cleanliness can be seen everywhere. It is inspiring to see how the authorities maintain this orderliness and neatness. I have observed how the system has ingrained this habit of cleanliness in the people of Singapore. The rules and fine system ensure that everyone follows this discipline. Another thing that drew my attention was the greenery that has been maintained everywhere. I would consider this incredible and the biggest tourist attraction.

  • Southern Andaman Coast
    © Lonely Planet Publications SOUTHERN ANDAMAN COAST 325 Southern Andaman Coast Island hoppers, this is your dreamland. The south is the quieter half of the Andaman coast; even the tourist star of Ko Phi-Phi can’t rival the glam and crowds of Phuket. Instead, this region is the ideal choice for serious relaxation, outdoor fun and chummy nights at beachside bars. Just slowly putter from white-sand isle to white-sand isle. Social seekers will love the developed beauties such as Ko Phi-Phi and Ko Lanta where you can party into the wee hours and meet plenty of people on the beach, yet still find a peaceful strip of sand. And roads less travelled are just next door: head down through the lightly developed Trang islands to the even less visited Satun Province to find powder-white romantic beaches, outrageous snorkelling and plenty of spicy southern Thai culture. The entire region is made up of a spectacular undulating coastline pierced by sheer limestone formations, speckled with islands and cloaked in a carpet of verdant greenery. Besides the phenomenal diving and snorkelling, some of the best rock climbing in the world can be found in Krabi and Trang Provinces. All that limestone also means there are plenty of caves to explore; some house shrines while others require that you shimmy on your stomach to get through. You can also kayak to islands or through coastal mangroves. Much of this region shuts down in the April to November low season but even at that time you can still get to most places with determined effort.
