Tourist Entertainment Guide In Thailand

 All over Thailand, local food is available at establishments ranging from sleek restaurants in five star hotels to roadside stalls, where the food generally tends to be very tasty but also pretty fiery. Garden restaurants and river restaurants -actually large boats where you eat while cruising down the Chao Phraya River are quite popular outings where you combine dining with a river tour.

    Besides Thai food, you can also get most other popular cuisines- Asian especially Chinese as well as Western. These are, obviously, only available in larger cities and towns: if you’re going off the beaten track, accustom yourself to Thai food- or live on fruit: Thailand has a mouth-watering array of them.

    Thailand, and especially the cities that attract the bulk of the tourist crowd- such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Pattaya- have their fair share of amusement parks, nightclubs and discotheques. There are cinemas, and there are cultural performances- Thai and English theatre, traditional Thai dances; cabarets; puppet shows, musical performances; Mime and dance dramas. Thai dance dramas are particularly beautiful, and you really must try to see one of them if you’re interested in native dances.

    The flip side of an ancient culture offers wild and weird options to travellers. Known by various nomenclatures like the sex capital of Asia, AIDS incorporated, sleaze dives, opium dens, massage parlours, prostitution, transvestite shows and cabarets – Thailand offers the lot for the visitor looking for more than sights to see and bazaars to shop in. And not all of a trip to Thailand need be restricted to a temple tour or a sun seekers holiday. The cities, towns and tourist centres of Thailand have massage parlours offering the real McCoy- a body toning, nerve tingling, truly relaxing massage by pro masseurs. The transvestite shows are truly magnificent with stylised oriental dances and western style cabarets. The sleaze though is never far from the surface in districts like Patpong in Bangkok and the Central Market Square in Pattaya.
