Thailand Weather In October

I visited Thailand in the month of October when the temperature was relatively cool compared to the other months. It’s a season when Thailand receives rainfall but thankfully, that didn’t put any hindrance to my trip. It just rained only when I visited coral Island. It was not expected actually, but nevertheless I was still enjoying it.

Some Highlights Of My Thailand Trip For 7 Days

I was lucky enough to see and explore some of the most amazing places in Thailand. Each place had a surprise factor and had amazing things in store for me. My Mumbai to Thailand trip was all about fun & entertainment and here I am jotting down all the best places I visited and experiences I enjoyed:

1. Coral Island: Embracing The Scenic Beauty

Going for a coral reef island tour in Pattaya was something I considered quite pivotal during my vacay. During the tour I came across a lot of people, both tourists as well as locals. The island is beautified with exotic golden beaches that added immense harm to my trip. For some time I just relaxed by the beach and for some time I played with the lovely sea waves. All in all it was a wonderful day and I could make the most of your vacation.

2. Underwater World: Witnessing The Vibrant Marine Life

Next, I visited Safari World and Marine Park where I witnessed the awe-inspiring marine life. It was like I was walking under the sea. This was, hands down, one of the best experiences that I had. I witnessed dolphins, seals, orangutans, and a huge number of other water animals on my visit. It was one of the experiences that I cherish the most after coming back from the Thailand trip.

3. Bangkok: Enjoying A Pub Crawl

Now was the time to indulge in what I was waiting for so long-Pub Crawl. There is a famous pub crawl in Khao San Road that offers travelers all the entertainment they are looking for. There was a charity show going on which cost just 900 Baht. It was such a lovely show to be a part of. Moreover, the audiences were also given Tees & shorts as souvenirs.

4. Safari World: Peeping Into The World Of Animals

Getting to know about Wildlife and animals is one of my passions and therefore I opted for a day tour to Safari world to have a closer look into the quirky lives animals. After a toothsome Indian breakfast at the hotel, I was picked up on time by the Coach and was taken straight to the Venue. A cordial & hospitable Thai guide escorted us to the place while conveying to us the necessary instructions. It was a thrilling experience to watch plenty of wild animals in open enclosures. The Orang Utan Show, The Dolphin Show, The Cowboy Show, The Elephant show were simply mind-blowing. This actually added great charm to my Thailand trip for 7 days. Moreover, I believe that this is one of the best places to visit in Thailand.

My Personal Expenses In Thailand

Mine was a budget trip that included accommodation, sightseeing and 2 meals. Rest, I had to bear on my own. Nevertheless, If you are traveling solo, then INR 30,000 would be enough for your personal expenses.

Shopping In Thailand

I did most of my shopping in Phuket. Clothes are very cheap and high on quality. Anything and everything on the streets is priced high. So, everything needs to be bargained. While on Phuket city tour, I did visit a state-sponsored store where prices were very reasonable. There are various places for shopping in Phuket where you can find some really cheap items. Also, if you are looking for the best places for shopping in Thailand, then Pattaya would be your first visit.

Hotels In Thailand

For both the destinations, I had booked several accommodations. In Pattaya, I chose to stay in Sawasdee Sea Hotel View & Quinglian Youth hostel. Both the accommodation were great and offered all the basic amenities that one would need. Apart from this, Mad Monkey Hostel and Slumber Party Hostel were my accommodations in Bangkok. Both these places were perfect for a solo traveler like me. All in all, I had a great time staying at all these accommodations. Moreover, I found Sawasdee Sea Hotel View to be one of the best hotels in Thailand.
