STORIZEN TRAVEL
tourists! We spent
under Rs. 50,000
for the BOGOF
holiday package as
well as our
shopping, gifts and
souvenirs. We
visited Bangkok, the
district of
Kanchanapuri for
the “Bridge across
the River Qwai” and
the Tiger Temple as
well as the coral
island of Pattaya
with its pristine
white-sand
beaches.
Thailand is super
tourist-friendly and
JULY 2018
is especially
welcoming to Indian
tourists. There are
many tour groups
and hotels that
cater to the needs,
whims, and quirks
of a typically
demanding Indian
tourist. But most
importantly for the
bling on offer at the
multiple “gem
palaces” across
Bangkok and
Thailand and cheap
and trendy shopping
all have an
irresistible lure to
the average Indian
tourist!
Bangkok
The majority of the Thai
vacation we spent in
Bangkok. The
Suvarnabhoomi airport
is phenomenal and
packed with interesting
cultural installations
including a massive
colourful sculpture of
the Samudra Mantan –
the churning of the
Great Ocean by the
gods and the demons
in the quest for the
nectar of immortality
from Hindu mythology
as well as a nearly life-
size wooden house
boat.
