Getting a Thai Visa To Visit the Trang Islands
December 17th, 2009
Located in the south of Thailand, along the Andaman sea is a set of picture-perfect islands called the Trang Islands. The islands and a slice of the mainland make up Thailand's Trang Province, named after the port town of Trang.
If you're looking for a place to vacation in Thailand that's far away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and less touristy than Phuket, Trang would be a good choice. Much of the area's inviting white sand beaches are part of a national park, and therefore off-limits to the overdevelopment that beaches the world over seem to attract.

Getting a Thai Visa For The Full Moon Party
October 17th, 2009
Every month, thousands of people gather on a beach in Thailand to celebrate the full moon. It's said that the party started among a group of backpackers in 1985. More and more people gathered with each full moon at Haad Rin Beach in Koh Phangan, and what was once an informal gathering has become an institution. Now, over 20,000 people attend an average Full Moon Party.
As the name suggests, Full Moon Parties last from sundown to sunup on the beach, every full moon. What happens at a full moon party? Imagine a giant dance party held under the moonlight. Vendors line up on the beach selling both alcoholic cocktails and supercharged energy drinks (Red Bull is based on a Thai energy drink formula, but the original is said to be even more powerful.)
