(Road trip warrior) Credit crunch busting cheap flights
No commentsBy Mui Aponta
The Dominican Republic, for example, is a beautiful destination if you fancy some exotic luxury. It is a nation set within the Caribbean and the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas. The most common languages used on the Island are English and Spanish and the locals enjoy mild weather all year round but with hurricanes frequent during the summer months. The Dominican Republic is famed for its stunning beaches and with the country’’s economy relying heavily on tourism there are countless beautiful resorts on offer to holiday makers.
If you fancy a destination closer to home but somewhere you can still enjoy some sunshine, beautiful scenery and new sights and adventures.
An important aspect of any holiday is ensuring you have important documents such as your passport, your travel documents, traveller’’s cheques and valid travel insurance. When enjoying a credit crunch-busting holiday it is especially important that you have travel insurance as if you neglect this your holiday could end up costing you hundreds and even thousands of pounds more than you planned as a result of something as simple as a lost suitcase or an ear infection.
Mui Aponta recommends that you always take out cheap travel insurance. He advises on camparing a few holiday insurance quotes in order to get the best deal from from AA Travel Insurance.
Thailand’’s Gulf Coast
By Alethia Camidge
Hua Hin itself is Thailand’’s oldest beach resort and remains popular despite being less aesthetically appealing than neighbouring beaches in Ko Samui. Perhaps part of its attraction is in its famed sea food recipes and restaurants such as Chao Lay ? a restaurant on a jetty on Thanon Naretdamri. Another good example of particularly cheap yet good quality seafood, as recommended in ”A Rough Guide to South East Asia”, is restaurant Som Moo Joom, a perfect place for budget voyagers.
To whistle-stop through a few other delightful spots along the Gulf Coast, you should include Wat Suan Mokkh where the forest temple is famed as a calming place for meditation. Meditation retreats led by Thai and Western leaders are often popular amongst travellers not only as an authentic Thai experience but as a relaxing break along their way, though they might not be quite as relaxing as they sound. Rules are strict, silence is not to be broken and the working meditating day begins before dawn.
Ko Samui is un-missable for beach lovers, boasting perfect white sands, paradisal clear skies and luscious palm trees. Served by regular ferries from the mainland, Ko Samui is a treat of a day out. Chaweng is a rival for beach beauty, situated between Ko Matlang and the Coral Cove. Due to its tourist attraction it has also become a great destination for those who like to live the party lifestyle on their travels, with many nightclubs surrounding the beach areas.
Hat Rin is famous mostly for its full-moon parties held on the beach. Though these can be chaotic and crowded there is also a more relaxing edge to the celebrations in the form of t”ai chi, yoga and meditation classes given by the numerous new and old age hippies who flock to the event. Hotel rooms should be booked well in advance of the parties as it does get very busy. You should also be aware that dodgy drugs are in abundance every month at the showdown.
Travel risks are usually greater throughout South East Asia than they are to travellers in Europe so it’’s always crucial to be well covered with reliable travel insurance. Always check you”re fully covered so you can enjoy your trip with some extra peace of mind ? assuming the meditation camp wasn”t enough.
Alethia Camidge does extensive searching before settling on a travel insurance quote. Quotebana is a great site that makes the search easier.
