Living in Bangkok

Bangkok roughly means ‘city of angels,’ and it originated as small trading post near the mouth of Chao Phraya River. Bangkok has increased in size to become the most densely populated city in Thailand, with 12 million inhabitants. It is the political, cultural, and economic center of Thailand. Ranking at 17th in the world for tallest city (by building), Bangkok is an ‘urban’ city whose skyscrapers stand overhead nearly ubiquitously. One of the best way to experience Thai food while exploring the city is through the large collection of the street vendors. Grab some street meat and take a walk through the large selection of ‘green zones,’ which are parks and greenery preserved by the Department of National Forestry. Thailand is one of the world’s hottest tourist locations, so no description would be complete without mention of its dedicated tourist locations. Thailand has an extremely active nightlife and may exciting cultural landmarks such as the Grand Palace, a complex of buildings in the heart of Thailand, and Wat Pho, and Wat Arun, two Buddhist temples. What better escape from the high-energy activity of the city than the serene culture and architecture of a religious temple.

Living in Phuket: Patong Beach

The largest beach on the Island of Phuket is also the country’s most popular beach and one of the most iconic, pristine beaches on earth. With extremely wide coastlines filled with clear water warmed over wide coastlines made of soft, white sand, it’s difficult to run out of things to do and sites to see. For instance, because of the natural complexity of the shoreline, diving is huge in Thailand, and worldwide Thailand is known as one of the best spots to dive. Northwest 124 miles from Patong Beach is Richelieu Rock, near the Surin Islands in the Adaman sea. This area was discovered by dive pioneer Jacques Yves Cousteau, and is one of the most popular places in the country to explore underwater. For the seasoned diving enthusiasts, it is even possible to acquire the PADI diving accreditation in this location. Off of the beach is a vibrant nightlife that offers engaging social venues such as bars, clubs, and private parties for the socialites. This area of Thailand is rich with tourists and beachgoers, and will be suited for those who thrive in the hustle and bustle of a high-energy location
