Beach Front

Hotels that have access directly onto a beach often have this category available to guests; in its strictest interpretation, you should be able to walk out of your room and onto the sand. Some hotels use this category, though, for their lower ocean front rooms even if you have to go down an interior corridor and take an elevator to get outside. If what you want is to just be able to walk out, check carefully before you book.

City View

It could mean on a higher floor with a broad view over the city, or it could mean a city view instead of a more desirable ocean view or mountain view etc.

Deluxe

This room type usually means the most basic room type offered by the hotel. It has basic, standard amenities and furnishings. A standard room in a Four Seasons hotel is without question much more deluxe than a standard in, say, a Holiday Inn, but there may be higher categories from which to choose. Standard rooms in hotels with higher categories often have no view or have a poor view over the dumpster or parking lot.

Double

A double hotel room sleeps up to four people in two double beds. Since there are two beds, it is called a double.

Garden View

Usually means lower floors, facing landscaping, no view except of the shrub that blocks your window.

Ocean Front

This could mean one of two things: Your room is on the side of a building and you have a full view down the beach and can see the ocean but you don’t FACE the ocean, or that you are in a hotel several blocks away and on a high enough floor that you can see the ocean from your room. In the second scenario you may well be facing the water, but from a distance. In a beachfront hotel, or even one across the street from the beach, this category does not mean facing the

Rock climbing – the cliffs of Rai Leh in Krabi are arguably among the best in the world. Rai Leh is perhaps the best winter sport rock climbing area in the world, with over a thousand bolted routes up limestone faces with breathtaking views over the ocean. If you are an avid rock climber, chances are you already know about this

place and the spectacular cliffs are the reason you are here.

Climbing is graded on the French scale, most is steep and challenging with only limited possibilities for beginners. Due to the corrosive nature of the seaside location, the steel bolts may be of ques­tionable integrity, bolt failure is not uncom­mon here, and threads (rope tied through holes in the rock) may be of questionable integrity as well. Overall the rock quality is superb; however, like everywhere else, you will find the occasional loose section including the famous Rai Leh stalactites.

Scuba diving – easily accessible Ko Tao (near Samui) draws the crowds, but also possible in Pattaya and Krabi, and the Similan Islands are worth the journey

Diving in Ko Tao is easy, fun, and you can see turtles, stingrays, barracudas, lots of small fish, reef sharks, and there is a very small chance of seeing a whale shark. Nearly any time of the year except November is good diving weather in Ko Tao, In November, the visibility is reduced and the seas are choppy, but diving is good by the standards of many other destina­tions. When diving is good, the visibility can be 40+ meters. Average visibility is around 15-20 meters.

There are a huge number of dive opera­tors on the island, many offering budget accommodation. Currently the price for PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) open water certification includ­ing the new PADI training manual, profes­sional instruction, rental equipment, boat dives, and certification is around 10,000 baht; insurance and basic accommoda­tion may also be included. Shop around as not all shops teach in the same way. Look for experienced dive instructors instead of a low price.

Another important but understated aspect of Pattaya are the excellent foreign restaurants. Often run by expats, most offer excellent food at prices far below those found in Bangkok, Samui or Phuket.

Our first stop was Wat Bangkradee, also known as Wat Mon, a temple built over a hundred years ago on the bank of a canal. One would find inside the compound monk cells of traditional Thai architecture with some two hundred posts lining up underneath. We worshipped a standing Buddha’s image which was carved from a single piece of wood there before moving on to our next destination. The nearby Bangkradee Mon Community is very efficient at preserving their culture and traditions.

Having immersed ourselves in enough cultural study for the afternoon, we decided to take a Bangkoontien Canal Boat Ride. A round trip costs 50 Baht for adults and 20 Baht for children, Boat service operates from 11:00 A.M. to 06:30 P.M. This is your chance to view Bangkok’s last intact stretch of mangrove forest and the unique way of life led by sea gypsies. It takes about half an hour to get to the mouth of the canal where it meets the harbor. Locals said they have spotted dolphins here in winter so always be on the lookout for them. Make sure you get to visit Bangkok’s 28th perimeter pole marking where Bangkok ends and Samutprakarn begins.

The boat ride concluded at a scenic point where we could all watch the sun set in a most graceful motion in Bangkok. Back on shore we ended the trip with a fresh, sumptuous seafood dinner at Bangkokseaview Restaurant-the only restaurant in the neighborhood that actually juts out into the sea.

Take in the last light of the day, cherish the serenity offered by the calm sea and bring back lots of photographs to share the moment with people you care about.
