Thai massages are world renowned, and there is no better place to experience one than Thailand itself. Whilst Bangkok reigns with the largest amount of establishments that provide Thai massages from budget to high-end. With techniques and origins from over 2,500 years ago, Thai massages are one of the most sought after treatments throughout the world.

Thai massages draw their influence from ancient Indian ayurvedic traditions. There are numerous types of massages, each giving their own benefit. Massages can be done with aromatherapy oil, lotion or nothing at all. From triggering a memory, to help aiding you to sleep, recover from jetlag or to make your skin glow, Thai massages can be used to stimulate different aspects of your body.

Take for example the Thai facial massage that uses the fingers in an upward motion and circular strokes across the face. If done regularly, a Thai facial massage can reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and tone facial muscles. The Thai foot massage is perhaps one of the more popular massages that tourists get whilst in Thailand. According to traditional preaching’s it is said that each part of the body is linked to the foot. Feet are looked upon as the pillars of the human body, and hence much emphasis is placed on the feet. Either a massage will be done by hand, or by using a small wooden stick. Known to relieve pain and promote better posture, foot massages in Bangkok are famous! For one of the most traditional massages you can get in Bangkok, visit the Wat Po (The Temple of the Reclining Buddha).

Delhi in India is playing the host to 2010 Commonwealth Games and India tourism industry is expecting and huge influx of tourists during the season. Most visitors who will travel to India for the Games are expected to visit Taj Mahal at Agra, and the royal icon of Rajasthan Tourism – Pink City of Jaipur, thereby completing the famous Golden Triangle tour circuit of North India. Several steps are being taken up to promote tourism during the games as well as cater to the expected number of tourists at the time. Hotels are coming up with lucrative deals, infrastructure is being upgraded, and places of interest and tourist attractions are being paid special attention these days.

One such measure is the one-time road tax system initiated by ministry of tourism and ministry of road transport and highways by government of India. Currently, cars and taxis have to pull over every time they enter another state to pay the tax, which include Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. Scheduled to be effective from December 2009, the system will allow commercial and tourist vehicles of registered tour operators on the Golden Triangle Tour of India to pay the road tax only once at the beginning of the trip. This will allow these vehicles to avoid unnecessary delays during transit and allow more time to the tourists to actually see the tourist attractions they are interested in.

Besides, a number of AC Volvo buses will also be introduced during the Games to take the tourists from Delhi to Agra and Jaipur. Throughout the Golden Triangle circuit, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is in the process of setting up 500 sites that will have all the amenities that tourists and tour vehicles might need along the way, such as toilets, restaurants, telephone booths, first-aid facilities, telephone booths, kiosks, snack bars, parking lots, rooms where one can rest for a short while, and repair shops for normal travelers’ items.

Those who will want to make the most of their India travel might opt for super luxury trains such as Palace on Wheels and Royal Rajasthan on Wheels that not only cover three cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur on the Golden Triangle tour circuit but also take you to other cities of Rajasthan that showcase their splendor in art, culture, and rich historical and architectural heritage. The frequency of these trains will be increased during the Commonwealth Games in India and facilities like wi-fi Internet, on-board spa, and television with live satellite channels will also be introduced in the trains. Royal treatment on the train is only matched by the unique camel desert safaris, boat rides at Lake Pichola, and exclusive experiences of Rajasthan.

Though the three main cities of the Golden Triangle are connected via National Highways, the government is also focusing on developing better connecting roads to places of tourist importance, which will make the entire tour experience even better. The short and sweet Golden Triangle Tour of North India starts from Delhi, the capital of India and the host of Commonwealth Games in 2010, and takes you to Agra, the city of Taj Mahal, and Jaipur, the icon of royal grandeur in India. Within short distances of each other, these three cities introduce to the foundations on which modern India is laid.

This is amazing and can show you if you know where to look how students can cash in on really cheap flights. I have been writing travel blogs for awhile now promoting “really cheap airfares” and I wanted to post a responce I had received a couple days back.

“Hey Christine, we followed your advice on booking our trip at the airport instead of online. We went to the ticket agent just before they closed at the airport. The agent was a little annoyed because we walked in just before they closed. Wow, you were right, we saved more this way and we got our tickets in hand. The posted price return  KC to NYC was $315US. We booked for $198US return.”

Not all the time going to the airport will be a great deal. Factor in how far you are from, gas etc. There is always deals out there but, you have to know how to search and what is a good price. Knowledge will get you the really cheap airfares. Its all a game and if you know all the rules, you will have a better chance at winning.

If you have questions, ask. Listen to what everyone is saying around you. Airports people, agents like to talk and you can pick up useful information.

Did you know?

Buying an airline gift card can give you triple the miles when flying. Don’t book your trip and pay cash. First, go buy a gift card for $250. then purchase your ticket with that.

The best way to get really cheap airfares.

One can choose the railways, the air route, waterways or a road travel in India, in order to reach southmost Kanyakumari from the chilling backdrops of Kashmir but, the little known thing is that anyone can spot an adventure amidst his/her travel throughout the whole country.

The above written fact explains that there are numerous places determined for adventure travel in the country known mostly for its heritage and culture.

Choose any point in the political map of India and you have the big probability of experiencing a thrilling experience nearby the same.

Taking a start from the northern part of this democratic nation, one can easily spot scope for adventure sports like skiing in frozen Dal Lake of Kashmir, para-gliding in Himachal’s Manali and river rafting in Ganges flowing through Rishikesh.

Going through some images as well as write-ups published over web one can generate some confusion related to unnecessary promotion of tourism in the country. But, as one reaches these destinations he can have a watch over naturally formed adventure sport spots in India.

However, it’s not easy to find every spot open 12 months a year as heavy snowfalls and higher level of water in river mostly plays a villian for one’s adventure dreams. But then, who said that the adventure graph declines as you reach south.

Near the green beauty of Kerala lies a bunch of 36 islands jointly termed as the Lakshadweep, which rarely leave anyone out of the adventurous mood, thanks to the water sports like scuba diving, glass bottom boat etc.

If one looks for raising the graph of adventure travel in a cooler place, then Bay of Bengal can very well be recommended with Andaman and Nicobar islands not far from there.

Taking the adventure to a higher level, one can experience rappeling, rock climbing as well as the breathtaking pleasure of valley crossing sport while he camp in Kantal where the several outings are arranged for corporate masses.

In case, somebody is recommending North-East for an adventurous trip, then he is not to be blamed as the sporty and deadly nature of caves situated near Cherrapunjee keep you on your toes until you come out of the lifetime experience of Caving in here.

As stated earlier, drive, sail or even fly through Indian continent, the thrill of adventure travel walks with the traveller from start to end.

It’s a pity Uganda has a not yet figured out a way to make this religious given situation as a tourist potential capable of eclipsing all other amazing, the level of reverence Uganda martyrs command globally. In the US alone there over 100 institutions named after the Uganda martyrs. Thirteen year old Kizito and Charles Lwanga seem to have a special appeal in the western world; many schools, churches and youth Associations are named after them.

Spiritual tourism is rated amongst the fastest growing businesses in the world. Just take a look at Saudi Arabia; Holy land to the Muslim faith, whereby the total number of pilgrims visiting the country every year is estimated to be 82,000 in the 1990 s to over 2million in 2007.

To facilitate the pilgrims on their Hajj, traders from all over the world, go to the holy land to do business; generating billion of dollars from Mecca and medina. However in 1980s the Saudi Authority imposed quotas to limit the number of pilgrims to around two million. This created a black market for places in the waiting lists established by Muslim government.

The wait in Iran, for example, could take 12 years. Some people would register as candidates for the pilgrimages and they sell there torn to others, for up to $ 10,000. Several countries like Israel and the Italy have also for years reaped big from the increasingly growing lucrative spiritual tourism sector.

Uganda has always been a popular tourist destination for all sorts of tourism, cultural, wildlife especially for gorilla trekking. This could explain why spiritual sub-sectors have not been in the spotlight, in spite of its huge potential.

The market for spiritual tourism is considerably small in the western world yet at the same time some of the potential attractions like the Uganda Martyrs are gaining ground. For Example many Black Americans in their campaign to get back their roots are adopting Uganda Martyrs as their patron saints. For years a number of them have been making annual pilgrimage to Namugingo to torch base with spiritual and racial roots.

Spiritual tourists are not easily turned away by things like poor weather. They are more tolerant, accommodative, dependable and generous. Take the example of Israel in the Middle East. Although the country has been in covered with insecurity since its inception the number of pilgrims that die in the hajji in Mecca every year has not stopped Muslims from going for the same activity.

Therefore traffic jams; the bad roads, bad food, poor accommodation facilities, the stuffy air and noise around the Namugongo shrine on every 3rd of June only make the pilgrims feel the worthiness of pilgrimage, Some pilgrims spend weeks walking; others sleep under trees all this in the name of attending Uganda martyrs day. The declaration Uganda martyrs both catholic and protestants and even a number of Muslims murdered by Mwanga in 1886 and Mutesa 1 respectively by the church has already gone along way in promoting the attraction. The government of Uganda needs to double its efforts in marketing and promoting the attraction in the outside world thereby increasing on the visitor numbers especially on Martyrs day.

Besides Namugongo, Uganda has other shrine in places like Munyonyo, Mityana, old Kampala, Nakivubo and Kyamula. Plans are in place to construct Mucuni Acholi Land, where Bishop Janan Luwumu was buried. Another place of worship worth being mentioned is the Bahai Temple on kikayi hill in Kampala. These are all potential tourists sites, where all sorts of business can be set up especially to cater for the need of spiritual tourists.

The only way of developing Uganda’s tourist potentials an be through embarking on aggressive world wide marketing strategy by stakeholders especially tour companies operating in Uganda like Africa Adventure safaris, Primate Adventure company being one of the leading Uganda gorilla safari provider and other safaris like Chimpanzee, rafting, wildlife and many more.

Its from this that the government of Uganda and church has tried to market the martyrs by declaring June 3rd a public Holiday thus giving the local population time to participate. Still there is a lot more that these institutions can do, for instance the government marketing the martyrs through the Ministry of tourism and the church in the pulpit and the pilgrims who go abroad for their various pilgrimages.

Few U.S. carriers offer power outlets on short flights in economy seats.  Even on planes flying longer routes, such as Boeing 767s and Airbus 330s, economy travelers will find outlets only infrequently throughout the cabin, perhaps every two or three rows.

Some travel experts believe that power outlets are rarely seen in coach seats because this feature becomes a differentiating factor for business travelers.  It certainly provides businessmen who want to work on computers when they fly motivation to fly business class.

Of the major U.S. airlines, only American Airlines offers coach seat power outlets which are installed in every third row.  The only U.S. airline to offer power outlets in all seats is Virgin America which heavily promotes this feature.  There are 28 planes in Virgin’s fleet.

Virgin has observed that 53 percent of its customers travel with laptops.  It sees power outlets as a key reason why passengers select Virgin as their airline of choice.

Other low priced airlines, including AirTran and Southwest, have no power outlets on their planes even though some of their planes offer in flight Internet service for those travelers willing to pay for the service. When you fly with these airlines, you will need an extra battery or two. The  really difficult part, it the lact of public receptacles around the airport. You need to pay dearly to charge between segments.

Airlines Wi-Fi service drains laptop batteries 30 percent faster than typical Wi-Fi available on land, according to Astronics, which makes electronics for aircraft.

In my many years as a traveler, I have managed to gather wide experience in not just the destinations I have visited but also in the means of getting to those places including getting cheap flights to Dubai. Travelling across borders is one of the most thrilling experiences you can ever have and I have had my own fair share of the very best of them. When I decided to start documenting my travels and giving people the benefit of my knowledge about people and places, I was surprised to receive emails from people who wanted to know how I had managed to fund such travels. Some asked if I inherited a huge sum of money from a relative or won a lottery. Some even asked if I married a rich man’s daughter and just live off the fortune. I really wish I had the fortune of marrying a rich man’s kid (hope my wife doesn’t read this). I answered some of the mails and I have decided to reproduce the answers I provided here for the benefit of those who wish to know how to get cheap flights to allow you get the cheap holidays you so much desire.
1. I have made it a point to use a particular airline as frequently as possible in order to get the
cheapest airfare. This is partly because I am a loyal customer but largely because I want them to get to know me well enough to note me as a frequent flyer in their system. This ensures that I am qualified for any promos they may have for those who fly often with them. You won’t believe how many precious pounds Sterling getting a cheap flight to Europe this has saved me. So I advise you to try to make sure that you use the same airline as frequently as possible and assure yourself of the cheapest flights.
2. If you compare holidays you’ll see that I am a chronic traveler but then, I travel pretty light. This is not to say that I don’t carry anything. I need to carry my cameras as well as some other essential stuff but then I keep them to a very manageable minimum. The reason is that many airlines charge for checked bags. This translates to the fact that you are better off with a carry-on bag instead of hauling bags around with you on your travels. Little drops of water they say, makes a mighty ocean.
3. Now, this point applies particular to the short hauls and by this, I means those flights which don’t last more than three to four hours. I guess flights within the UK and then from the UK to a number of European countries will fall into this category. It’s like this…avoid eating in-flight. Simple, right? That’s it. I make sure that I eat at home before embarking on the flight so I avoid having to buy food on the plane or for that matter, at the expensive outlets in the airports.
4. I make it a point to book my air tickets on the internet so I can compare flight prices. In my years of experience, I have to know that this saves me a lot of pounds particularly as I compare cheap flights.

So, keep reading and get yourself all set for an awesome experience.
Airplane Bargains
Do you have family members who are working for the airlines? If that’s the case, perhaps they will be kind enough to obtain a ticket for you. They are typically authorized to provide a set number of tickets to companions and relatives per calendar year. Furthermore, consider websites like Travelocity and Orbitz for bargains on plane tickets. Red eye flights and flights with more than one stop are commonly a whole lot less costly. Additionally, do an web lookup to determine if any of the online websites have promotion codes offered. You can cut back possibly more by managing that. Make sure to at all times buy ahead of time. Sometimes when you get at the flight terminal, they will ask you whether you desire to relinquish your seat for a different traveler. In case you prefer to take the risk, you could cede your place and catch the next plane. Air carriers will generally compensate you with an additional ticket you can use at any time, anywhere or they will grant you a check for a couple hundred dollars depending on where you are flying to.
If you are intending on visiting two states via flying, you can research a flight journey that has a layover in the other place you would like to check out. See if the fare is the similar if you stayed for a number of days at the stop. Normally you could purchase it for the same price and you can wind up visiting both places on a single ticket.
Car Rentals
Each time you book a vehicle, take into consideration the category of car and how efficient the fuel mileage is. At times car rental companies may have a very good deal on a larger size vehicle but you need to take into account the additional charge in fuel as well. Do some calculations to find out if the savings are greater compared to what you might gain in fuel by going with the more compact one.
Regularly seek on the web to see if there are discount codes for car rentals.
In the event that you possess a credit card, determine if they give car insurance for rental cars. If so, then all you need to do is pay for the rental with that card and make sure you decline the insurance fee.
Entertainment
Go check out the tourist center wherever you might be as they will usually provide a coupon book full of coupons from area shops and also discounts for theme parks and activities you carry out.
