Exotic Beach Koh Poda Island, Krabi, Thailand
No party! no hang out! this is time for relax, laying on 'crystal' sand, swim in 'crystal' water and enjoy full day in wonderful beach in island.
I love Thailand so much because they have plenty wonderful beach and island, they have many visitors over year come across for those island destination, most of island including private island with charges admission have much tourist activity everyday, sometime we need isolation time, enjoy all day with own family, own friend or only by self reading book on the beach, painting, guitar, ect and this island is very pretty comfortable to do something more private, and can be one alternative living away from the town.
But also, nice thing to do in this island is snorkeling, swimming and kayaking, this island have fantastic colorful of coral reef and marine world in crystal blue water.
In the middle of Koh Poda, there is a pathway to the back beach which will also passes the one and only resort of the island, Poda Island Resort.The northern beach of Koh Poda extends further from the eastern beach. In the middle of the sea here is a small limestone-based island which is a unique feature of Koh Poda. The eastern beach of Koh Poda is the longest one; it is nice for swimming and sungathing, as well as making a stroll to as far as the small bay in the wetern side of the island.
I think is one of my romantic and exotic island. You can come with your someone special, can be making love all of day...or just talking during sunset, hiking, relaxing, kayaking or swim and take a time not to be hurry.

Kai Bae Beach, Koh Chang Island, Thailand
This Island is
fantastic more and ever!
The hell was very beautiful beach in island, if you love beach so much this is the place must to go before you die!! everything you need as an lover beach it have, beautiful amazing resort, food, resto, cafe bar, anything. Even you come by with backpacker style you can get lovely cheap house or bungalow.
This is a beach of scenic beauty where you can see the sunset and a few islands, some so close and tempting you feel like taking a canoe across. Of special interest may be the Koh Man Nai which is very near the Sea View Resort. During the low tide Koh Man Nai reveals it picturesque beach and you can walk to the island at chest-deep water level. Boats, canoes, sea-kayaks and dive shops are ready for your exploration. Although serviced by more than 10 bungalow resorts and the more leisurely Sea View Resort, accommodation can be hard to get, Koh Chang (Elephant Island), which at 492 sq. km is the second largest island in Thailand after Phuket.
Things to see and do in Koh Chang Island Thailand??
Snorkelling, Diving, Fishing, Swimming, and going trips to waterfalls are things can be enjoined mainly in Koh Chang. Koh Chang is also good for learning Thai Massage, hiking, and biking. The roads end at Hat Kai Bae, and from there on round the bottom end of the island there are walking trails through the jungle and over the mountains. Some of these are fairly treacherous, but the scenery is great for trekking. If you are on a mountain bike, you may be able to make it all the way round the bottom end, but you will have to carry your bike in places and the going is pretty rough. If the jungle becomes impenetrable, you could down to the nearest beach and try to hail a fishing boat to carry you around to the next bay. Koh Chang also has the most scenic Thai Massage School imaginable. If you fancy learning Thai massage on the beach with a fabulous view of mountains and nearby islands, Wind Eagle on Kai Bae beach is the place to head to. Hat Sai Kao (white sand beach), literally white sand beach on the West Coast is the longest, widest, whitest, most easily accessible and the most popular beach on Koh Chang.

Snorkeling at Bunaken, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
The thing that we have to do when visiting
Bunaken is diving and snorkeling. Bunaken
National Marine Park ranks amongst the best snorkeling
destinations in the world. Many tourists have been visited
Bunaken for years ago. The beauty of under water world is the
magnet for them to make tours to Bunaken and the surrounding
islands. Naturally, the first
tourists to Bunaken were keen divers on the look out for a new
destination. Now days Snorkelers from all over the world are
traveling to Bunaken to see what all the "Fuss" is about. Once
here the call of the ocean becomes irresistible.At Bunaken you will stop at three different locations for snorkelling. Bunaken seagarden is renowned as one of the world's best diving spots, but it's fantastic also to snorkel here. You will snorkel along steep coral walls and drop-offs with caves and hanging masses of corals.
Even more exciting is the rich fishlife here with Napoleon wrasse, angelfish, blue ribbon eel, clown fish, snapper, grouper and brasses.
What else can be the best areas for Snorkeling other than the reefs! And Bunaken Island is Surrounded by reefs that are more or less easily accessible from the beaches.
~~~~SNORKELING TIPS~~~~
Choose a snorkel that fits easily in to your mouth, and a mask that fits snugly.Test this by putting it to your face without using the strap and breathe in through the nose. If it fits properly it will not fall off, even when you lean forward. Choose a pair of booties & fins that fit your feet comfortably and safety.
Wear a t-shirt/rash guard or wet-suit to protect yourself from the sun and a waterproof sunscreen on exposed areas of your skin such as the neck and the back of your knees.

Tips For Your Thailand Trip
Thailand is a beautiful
country full of adventure and culture. Yet, the very same things
that bring visitors to Thailand could possibly drive them away!
Many visitors forget that when they visit a foreign country, it
is their responsibility to learn about and respect the country’s
culture and customs. How much do you know about the royal family
in Thailand? Showing respect for the King, Queen, and Royal
Children is an important part of daily life, and an important
requirement of any visitor.
When visiting Thailand, it is travel tips like this one that can make you feel “in-the-know”—which is a great way to feel when you’re traveling in a foreign country! Knowing some basic Thailand travel tips will make your trip to Thailand go off without a glitch.
Being Buddhist In Thailand—Tips For Travel To Buddhist Shrines
Thailand is primarily Buddhist, and religion is a very important part of daily life. Visitors are typically welcomed in Buddhist shrines; however, they are expected to dress appropriately. This means no shorts, bathing suits, or tank tops. Visitors are expected to remove their shoes as well.
Images and statues of Buddha are considered sacred. Thus, it is extremely important that visitors to a Buddhist shrine do not disrespect these icons in any way. Climbing on or photographing an image of Buddha is strictly forbidden.
Buddhist monks are subject to a limited lifestyle. For example, monks in the Buddhist temples are forbidden from touching a woman in any way or handling an object that a woman has just held. Women are required to hand the object to a man, who will then hand it to the monk.
Greetings, Gestures, and Society
Many basic greetings and gestures are very different in Thailand than what you might be used to, which is why practicing tips during your Thailand travels is extremely important. Thais typically greet one another by pressing their palms together in a “wai”—it looks almost prayer-like. Additionally, pointing or gesturing at another person or object with one’s feet is considered extremely rude, because the head is both literally and figuratively the highest part of the body.
Thais have a fairly conservative code of conduct. Displays of affection between men and women are usually frowned upon in public places, and it is not acceptable to walk the streets of Thailand without a shirt.
Grasping Another Culture
Part of traveling to a new country is learning about the culture—and Thailand’s rich culture and tradition provides a wonderful opportunity for just that. Learning about it is not enough; to get the most from your trip to Thailand, practice travel tips and give the cultural norms a try yourself!

Langkawi beach, "pantai cenang" Malaysia
I was hear this beach before from taxi driver in
KL, His was really excited to introduced me how nice and
beautiful about this island, then I decided to go after back from
Singapore, flight from Singapore with Air Asia Airlines direct to
Langkawi International Airport. Arrive at langkawi, get our
rental cars, drive to hotel, run to the beach, and go streaking!
This is a splendid tropical idyll with nothing to do but relax.
Bring along a good book, catch some rays and enjoy the laid back
atmosphere.At first glance, Langkawi hardly seems like a shopping destination, but it is in fact a duty-free island with occasional bargains.
Scuba diving and snorkeling are first two choices of adventure-thirsty tourists.The region is rich with coral beauty and colorful sea creatures. The activities give one the opportunity in the holiday to this beauty of the sea. All necessary apartus is easily available. Langkawi’s cousin Pulau Payar takes care of tourists wishing to indulge in diving and snorkeling.
Less adventurists could choose angling, fishing or swimming. Water is clean and delight for swimming. For angling or fishing too, the region is productive. We just need a boat and the necessary equipments. Langkawi will take care of the rest. We also have options like surfing, boating, canoeing, banana boat riding, catamaran sailing, yachting and speed boating. Surfing enthusiasts will like to ride to waves of Langkawi. The waves are not that high here. But, nonetheless, they are high enough. Langkawi have complete feature to do the best holiday in beach. Fishing is favorite things to do in Langkawi, but snorkeling with plenty species under sea water it's been ecstatic and we was doing everyday in whole of holiday and I exciting to go back Langkawi Island someday.

Koh Phangan, Thailand
Koh Phangan is
to experience radically unique travel activities, First time
I see everything in my eyes just blue, white, green, this one of my
favorite beach to escape. I love this beach so much, because the
tiny island has plenty to offer; pristine beaches made for swimming
and snorkeling; accommodations to suit any budget; fun outdoor
activities for adults and kids alike; and, for partygoers, Haad
Rin’s notorious "FullMoon Parties", with a surfeit of trance music,
fire-spinners, even if you are not the classic partygoer -
the full moon party could be a unique and unforgettable opportunity
to join thousands of joyful, exhilarated people dancing together in
the most beautiful place in the world to the sounds of the best
music.It is also offer an excellent diving area, due to its clear water and the huge variety of underwater life, Some of these forgotten venues feature about three dozens bungalows hidden in the midst of the jungle.
Is no doubt and by far the perfect choice for the perfect vacation on beach.

Kuta Beach, Bali Indonesia
This is my first unforgettable beach, many times
I was spend my holiday in this beach, surfing is favorite things
to do. The first reason to choosing this beach because seeking
cheap prices, a rich local culture, beautiful beaches, raucous
nightlife, delicious food, and free-flowing Bintang Beer–all
ingredients for a fun, fun time. Bali have other's beach
insteresting too; Nusa Dua, Tanah Lot, Singaraja, Sanur, Nusa
Penida, ect but best of mine is Kuta and Nusa Dua. In Nusa Dua
best thing to do is "Parasailing", besides Diving and
Snorkeling.Surfing on the beach.
Being a sandy beach break most of the surfers you will find on Kuta Beach are beginners or intermediates taking it easy. Best times to surf this beach are at high tide. The slope of Kuta Beach is very gradual and you can walk out 100 meters and still be only chest high in the water, a perfect place for beginners. The waves come in flat meaning you are not going to get a very long ride.A lot of people renting a selection of old boards, some of them having been painted a few times. There are also semi-decent mini-mals which presumably came from a surf school at some time. If you have never surfed the best tip I can give you is take a lesson from a western surf school, you will learn safety tips and technique. The renters on the beach won’t give you any surfing tips or care about which board you rent. First timers need a big board, the bigger the better.
Sunset Lover
Around Kuta beach and feel freedom atmosphere with nightlife, but one thing you'll never forget is about amazing daily sunset, the sunset represent all of emotion on your soul.. making sounds, love, music, imagine, inspire more wonderful colorful in your life.....During enjoy with sunset you can fun with local massage, take some local beer or "Laurent Perrier" Campaign, eat fresh seafood: roast crab, shrimp, fish than spend that night and all of your weekend with wonderful beach you'll never forget.
