A Mouth Watering Tale for those Taking Flights to Thailand


Arousing hot, sinful, and spicy … no I am not alluding to what you are thinking, but these are the only words I can think of to describe Thai cuisines. No wonder, the country continues to be a strong pull for many gourmands splurging their money on long haul London to Thailand flights. Although, there is a galaxy of choices to consider, while eating out in Thailand, let me suggest just four of the places that will further enflame your fetish for food, especially Thai food.

Anusan Night Market

The Anusan Night Market in Chiang Mai is a popular haunt for many night prowlers buying cheap tickets to Thailand. Full of life, this place is just crammed with numerous food stalls dishing out mouth watering fare. Although, a wide array of gastronomic delights await visitors, I found the seafood to be better than what I have tasted in many of the other so called fancy places in the world.

Love at First Bite

Aptly named Love at First Bite, this Chiang Mai eatery is another great place to indulge your taste buds if you have bagged a cheap ticket to Thailand. Enticingly arranged numerous varieties of Blintzes, pies, layer cakes, and cheesecakes all but cry out to get devoured. Gorge away to your heart’s content and finally wash it down with a cup of coffee.

Hemlock

Yes, yes, I have not forgotten about Bangkok. After all, this is the touchdown point for most of the cheap flights to Thailand and perhaps the most well known Thai destination. Well, to cut the crap, if you are a food buff worth your salt, don’t leave Bangkok without sampling the fare at Hemlock. The variety offered here is mind boggling and even includes a number of dishes not to be easily found anywhere else in Bangkok.

Taling Pling

Many seasoned British travellers who have bought cheap tickets to Thailand from London as well as other parts of the UK over the years swear by the Taling Pling in Bangkok. This is one of the best places for some authentic Thai fare as can be judged by the large number of visiting local Thai patrons. The yam plaa salid taling pling, phàk dam lung, and the chicken wrapped in pandanus leaves all do full justice to their reputation.

Top 5 Beaches that Make Cheap Tickets to Thailand So Popular


Reasons are endless for visiting Thailand and beaches remain one of the biggest lures in the country. The fairly high availability of cheap tickets to Thailand from London makes it a very popular destination for Britons planning an overseas beach holiday. Take your pick of the five top beaches in the country.

Patong Beach, Phuket
Patong Beach is the largest in Phuket and perhaps the most popular one in the entire country. The sheer number of travellers who buy their cheap tickets to Thailand
with the Patong beach at the top of their itinerary speaks volumes about the popularity of this beach. With its livewire nightlife, the beach is as exciting during the night as it is during the day. For accommodation, there are numerous hotels nearby.

Maya Bay, Ko Phi Phi Ley
The Maya Bay is another marvellous beach that will make you gloat over your decision of buying a cheap ticket to Thailand. While the scenery is just indescribably captivating, the lack of overnight accommodation facilities further ensures that the beach does not lose its beauty to the onslaught of tourism. A boat trip during the day is the only way to access the beach. To catch the beach at its isolated extreme, the best time to visit would be the off season months.
Tam Phra Nang, Krabi
Krabi, a wonderful destination to consider while booking cheap flights to Thailand is well renowned for its beaches and the Tam Phra Nang beach of Railay is one of the most popular beaches here. This beach is also accessible by boat and is definitely one of the best places to visit in Krabi. Don’t miss the mystical old cave temple here.
Sairee Beach, Ko Tao
Stretching for a distance of some one mile, this gleaming sandy beach has become one of the most popular beaches in Ko Tao. Scores of cheap hotels and restaurants make it especially popular with budget travellers. The beach remains pretty isolated and has an excellent diving scene.
Kata Beach, Phuket
Many Britons booking their London to Thailand flights or from other parts of the UK swear by the Kata Beach. Fringed with gently swaying palms, lapped by balm waters, and with some picturesque scenery, the beach easily bowls over even the most jaded beach bum. Powerful surfs during the low season make the beach a hot draw with surfing enthusiasts. The Kata Beach is especially popular with visitors who don’t want to set their eyes on shopping malls or swanky hotels during a beach trip.
