Thailand - The land of smile

Thailand also known as the land of constant smile is the dream place for everyone who is expecting much of their vacations. It is an exotic land full of colours and interesting shapes, the brilliant local food as well as incredibly nice people and these are only few of many that make this place special. Of course with all those beautiful islands, lakes, rivers and the sea there a lot of possibilities to rent a boat. A good idea is to avoid the main cities. Traffic jams, noise and huge tempo of life are all constantly present in there. Beside that the prizes are significantly higher compared to some vacation resorts. When talking about money it is worth noting that Thailand is a very cheap country compared to the once from where the tourists come from. Because of that if you are looking for an exotic experience on a limited budget the land of constant smile might be what you are looking for. An interesting peace of information that is definitely worth remembering is that in most places the prizes are negotiable. This goes for hotel rooms, rented houses but also chartering yachts. The local language is very hard for foreigners to learn however, English is publicly used especially in the places visited by tourists.

However, if you happen to wonder into a place where people can not speak anything else but their mother tongue do not panic. Remember that local people are very nice, with the smile on your face explain with hand gestures what you want. Leaving the choice of dishes you will be eating to the waitress might also be a good idea as Thai food is truly amazing. Meals are usually served with rice and have a strong taste. Some of the most known are Som Tam, yam, Tom Yam Goong and Masaman Neua. On the street you can also buy a baked insects although they are more of a tourist attraction that the real Thai dish but if you are brave you should definitely try one. However, the truly amazing thing and the main focus for anyone who is looking to rent a boat are all the islands. They differ immensely! From completely untouched by a human where you can feel and see the exotic nature and wonder into a real jungle to those turned into vacations spots with mainly hotels, pools and clubs. Both of those types and all the in-betweens are definitely worth visiting as the life on the goes with a completely different pace. Not to say that calling them beautiful is an understatement!

After a yacht rental you can sail from island to island exploring the exotic nature and sleeping every day in a different location with a different feel to it. As weird as it might sound going without a straight plan is not a bad idea. The local people look at the world with a very different perspective and embracing it for a while might be one of the greatest experiences of your life. To do that however, you have to stop being in a rush. Thai people tend to be very laid back when it comes to time. If you embrace it you can gain some of the best memories of your life while sailing on your boat through the unknown.
