			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Freedom Beach, the name itself is an introduction to the fact that this beach is free from the maddening effect of being visited by excessive number of tourists. The best part of visiting this beach is that it has facilities like a restaurant, modern type of toilet and even showers. Freedom Beach is just a 10 or 15 minute ride by a boat and is located at the southern extreme tip of the Patong Beach. This particular beach is isolated and requires some effort to visit it but you can rest assured that your effort will be well rewarded. One can visit this beautiful beach only by sea. The dazzling white sands would simply compel the tourist to look around the beach and the serine sea water invites tourists to take a long and luxurious dip.</p>
<p><strong>Perfect beach to be visited with family and friends:</strong></p>
<p>The tourist can visit Freedom Beach with their family and friends safely as the locals are friendly and trained enough to take care of them. One could simply laze around and enjoy the view of the blue sea and the magnificent rock formations, which seem to guard the bay entrance. Also the marine life which abounds the coral reefs is regarded as the best in the island of Phuket. The tsunami that hit this place destroyed a huge number of corals in the shallow waters but the corals are back again and when you swim a bit deeper into the sea you can see a magnificent view of coral growth. Unlike other beaches you cannot find any beach vendor trying to sell products in Freedom Beach. The sun beads are placed at the foot of the hill under the comforting shadow of the palm trees but sun lovers can soak the warmth of the sun by sitting on the beach.  To visit this particular beach tourist just needs to ask the locals or take the assistance of the concierge desk at their hotels.</p>
<p><strong>Want to try snorkeling – visit Freedom Beach</strong></p>
<p>The Freedom Beach is in fact a stretch of powdery white sand in a tiny bay. This beach provides a wonderful sight, as it is ringed with tall trees and surrounded by hills. The boats anchor the visitors at the beach&#8217;s center, while the southern and northern parts of the Freedom Beach are guarded to allow swimming. The southern end is also known for being a wonderful location for snorkeling. The tourists can easily find an abundance of colorful fishes, which includes some larger specimens. Tourist planning to take bath in peace can try off the section in the north. The tourists can enjoy delicious food at the small restaurants present there. With basic amenities present, tourists who would definitely wish to come back time and again to this wonderful place.</p>
<p>Freedom Beach, unlike other beaches in most parts of the world, is well maintained and properly organized. Getting to this wonderful beach, is not a problem as the tourists can easily get long tail boats that are available in the pier area at the southern end of Patong Beach. The price is also quite reasonable and does not burn the pocket. In short, Freedom Beach is a place that should be on a tourist&#8217;s must visit &#8216;list&#8217;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a vacation destination featuring sun-soaked beaches, you need to consider going to Phuket Island.  As Thailand&#8217;s biggest island, Phuket is a haven for tourists that many flock to each year to relax and enjoy the scenery.</p>
<p>Two of the most popular beaches on Phuket Island are Hat Patong and Hat Karon.  Hat Patong is 1.9 miles in length and is located near some of the island&#8217;s most famous nightlife destinations.  With breathtaking views of the sea, Hat Karon is another place to consider visiting.  Just across the street from some popular restaurants, you can grab a bite to eat after a stroll on the sand.</p>
<p>Arriving at Phuket Airport is how most tourists reach the island.  With tourism being such a major part of the island&#8217;s economy, the airport is undergoing an expansion that is set to be completed in 2015.</p>
<p>Though there are numerous hotels located on the island, you should always make reservations before your arrival.  Being such a popular destination, a hotel in Phuket can be difficult to rent a room from without a reservation.</p>
<p>One place you may want to consider as a lodging option is the Avista Phuket Resort and Spa.  Featuring an elegant restaurant, a swimming pool with views of the ocean, and a spa with ancient Thai relaxation practices, you are sure to find what you are looking for at this resort.  The pool bar alone is something that gets tourists talking and recommending this resort to all of their friends who are considering a trip to Phuket.</p>
<p>There are plenty of attractions in Phuket besides the beaches.  If you are looking for a break from lounging on the beach all day, the Thalang National Museum will give you an idea of what life was like before tourism became a substantial part of the island&#8217;s economy.  The museum also has informative exhibits regarding the Phuket&#8217;s war with Burma.</p>
<p>If you are going to take a trip to Phuket, you may want to plan your trip so that you can experience one of the many celebrations throughout the year.  The Vegetarian Festival occurs every fall to celebrate the islanders of Chinese descent who practice a vegetarian diet for nine days as a way of purifying themselves.  Even if you are not a vegetarian yourself, the festival still is a way to have fun and enjoy the culture.</p>
<p>The Phuket Travel Fair takes place each November and is an event many tourists enjoy.  Among the parades and other celebrations, this fair hosts a beauty contest for the tourists in attendance.</p>
<p>Be sure to try the local cuisine when visiting Phuket.  Foods on the island contain a variety of different ingredients that typically center around rice, pork, and pastas.  Koit Diaow Rueah, known to tourists as &#8220;Boat Soup,&#8221; is a popular stew made with noodles and buffalo meat.</p>
<p>Before leaving the island, try to determine if you have accomplished all that you wanted on your vacation.  You should have a list containing everything that you want to see during your time on Phuket Island.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arguably, Karon Beach is one of the most serene and cleanest beaches in Phuket. It offers a variety of enchanting tourist attractions to the visitors. The beach is covered in fine, white sands and the waterfront stretches for 3 kilometers, making it the second largest beach on the island. Unlike other places on the island, the beach offers the visitor an experience that is socially rich, as its low traffic enhances the chances of socially connecting with the people you are with. The beach is thus popular with young couples and with families that love to frequent the beach for the calm atmosphere that it offers, away from the busy life of the neighboring Patong Beach.</p>
<p><strong>Cuisine</strong></p>
<p>Karon Beach is dotted by many restaurants, which line the road near the beachfront. A myriad of restaurants that offer a wide range of Scandinavian cuisine can be found on the beach. Most of the eating establishments can be found on the northern part of the beach, which is also occupied by tour companies, restaurants, and other related hospitality establishments. These establishments do not touch the waterfront, however, and thus the entire beach is public.</p>
<p><strong>Natural Attractions</strong></p>
<p>In terms of nature, the beach has extensive flora and fauna, with a captivating coral reef covering the southern part. The connection with nature is enhanced by the beautiful sunsets that can be seen to the west of the beach, over the clear waters of the ocean. Some of the natural wonders of the beach can be explored through activities such as diving and snorkeling.</p>
<p><strong>Beach Activities</strong></p>
<p>With its clean and fine sands, the beach offers excellent grounds for taking part in various activities. Sporting activities can thus be enjoyed on the beach with no safety concerns. The beach provides a favorable environment for families and couples who want to interact and have fun together. Beach games and picnics are excellent activities to take part in on the beach. Visitors can take part in snorkeling and diving activities in the clean waters to sample some of the area&#8217;s flora and fauna.</p>
<p><strong>Accommodation</strong></p>
<p>Karon Beach has ample accommodation options. Phuket offers a selection of establishments that offer good accommodation, with options ranging from budget accommodation to luxury accommodation. The excellent accessibility of the Karon Beach means that the range of options extends to all <a href="http://www.avistaphuket.com" target="_blank">Phuket hotels</a>. The nightlife on the beach is relatively quiet, with a handful of establishments remaining open at night. For the most part, night activities on the beach are restricted to dining.</p>
<p><strong>How to Get There</strong></p>
<p>Karon Beach can be accessed by taking a bus from Phuket town. Other options include hiring a taxi or even using a tuk-tuk, if you want to access the beach from Patong. Once on the beach, it is easy to move around. The best option is to hire a motorbike from one of the many rental places around the beach.</p>

<p>Island tours are some of the more varied and popular forms available in Phuket. Because of the stunning landscape, these tours are a must for anybody wanting to take in a much of the beautiful scenery and tranquility as possible. In order for visitors to see as much as possible, many operators use a speedboat to get between the islands &#8211; especially the collection known as the Phi Phi islands &#8211; but other companies provide a much more leisurely approach, such as a Chinese junk boat. During these Phuket tours, guests can often have the choice to upgrade their package and add additional activities such as scuba diving and glass-bottomed boat rides.</p>
<p>Phuket tours can, of course, provide so much more than just natural scenery and the wonders of the ocean.

Helicopter tours vary from short trips taking in the sights of specific regions to hour long expeditions covering the majority of Phuket and the surrounding islands.</p>
<p>As well as coaches and helicopters there are plenty of other forms of transportation available to help you embark on Phuket tours, either with professional guidance or under your own steam. Horse riding and cycling are great ways to travel through Phuket and embrace eco-tourism, but if you are looking for something a little more adventurous why not try sea kayaking or taking a trip out on an ATV. Some tour operators have seen the market in adventure and eco-tourism and have created tours that combine ATVs, white-water rafting and elephant trekking in one fantastic package. While we are on the subject of elephants, it is also worth noting that there are safari-style Phuket tours that let you experience the the wildlife of the resort such as elephants, buffalo and monkeys and can provide some very close encounters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thailand today is a major tourist destination. Though a large number of tourists head for Phuket, the somewhat lesser known Phi Phi Islands have a lot to offer for the discerning tourist. Located in the Krabi province these islands are almost the same distance from Phuket as well as Krabi.</p>
<p>Basically a group of six islands only Koh Phi Phi Don is inhabited. The next biggest island is Koh Phi Phi Leh and is renowned for its lovely beaches and fantastic cliffs that tower over you. The rest of the Phi Phi islands are nothing more than high cliffs and can be visited as part of a day trip by boat. One can reach Phi Phi Island by ferry boat which would take about 2 hours from Phuket or Krabi to reach or one can hire slightly more expensive private speedboats that would get you there within 45 minutes.</p>
<p>A part of the marine national park these islands offer a wide range of recreational activities like kite boarding, diving and snorkeling. Those who prefer rock climbing would also find ample opportunity on the island. The more adventurous can of course try cliff jumping from various heights. Another common activity is taking a boat trip around the smaller islands. If vigorous activity is not your kind of thing then you can spread out on the many beaches and soak in the sun.</p>
<p>Phi Phi Islands being small islands are literally full of sandy beaches. One can enjoy the serene beauty of Maya Bay and Pi Leh Bay at Koh Phi Phi Leh. If one wishes one can enjoy snorkeling among the shallow coral reefs at Bamboo Island that is just 5 km from Phi Phi Don. The pleasure of diving and snorkeling in the clear waters is a unique experience in itself. Another popular beach at Phi Phi is the Laem Tong beach which is located in the Northern part of the island. It is known for its peace and tranquility and is ideal for relaxing. One can also enjoy wind surfing here.</p>
<p>The nightlife at Koh Phi Phi Islands is quite interesting where staying open till late is the norm. Something unique to this place is the beer buckets and fire dancing. The best part of its nightlife is that you will not find any vulgarity or cheapness that one often encounters at tourist spots.</p>
<p>Though Thailand gets visitors throughout the year, the best time to visit these islands is after the rainy season from November to March. However the busiest tourist season is from December to January when getting accommodation can be a bit difficult. Koh Phi Phi Don has a number of hotels, resorts as well as bungalows to fit every kind of budget. You can also stay in one of the <a href="http://www.avistaphuket.com" target="_blank">Phuket resorts</a> and just go to Phi Phi Islands on a day trip.</p>
<p>The cuisine in Phi Phi is basically Thai and has a predominance of seafood.</p>
<p>The Phi Phi Islands are a great place to visit if you wish for a rejuvenating trip far from the hustle bustle of modern life. In fact even the biggest island Koh Phi Phi Don does not have proper roads and only has paved roads for walking. In all a visit to the Koh Phi Phi island can be a very invigorating and refreshing experience.</p>
