Searching for Luxury Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, the City of Angels

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:37:45 -0800

Shoestring budgets I have travelled to Thailand before, that inevitable shoestring holiday of sun, city, beach and a starvation diet of cheap alcohol, old fried rice and the occasional luxury of sweet Thai dessert. Watching the movie called the Beach the other day, made me realize how close they were to reproducYou should ing an authentic guest house Del cheapo Bangkok. The only thing they got wrong were the walls of the guest house, Thai hotels and guest houses have completely enclosed walls, not ones that are open at the top as depicted in the movie. The open style walls in hotels however, can be found in cheap Chinese hotels in places like Penang, Malaysia. If you are fortunate enough to stay in one, you will have the luxury of breathing the same tobacco smoke filled, alcoholic and germinated air as another fifty odd guests. Luxury is Luxury in Thailand Cast all that to the back of your mind, then close your eyes and think of serenity, peace, beauty and gold. These are some of th...

The Meaning of Luxury in Thailand Hotels

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:24:58 -0800

The Marble Triangle-Three sides to luxury as defined: . Something that is an extravagance rather than a necessity. Book into a five star hotel in Thailand where they know the meaning of service compared with most of the rest of the world and soon you will discover the first definition noted above. If we are looking for luxury, then all extravagance is a necessity. From waiters and hotel staff that appear at remarkable speeds to serve you, to their first class handling of your requests. These are not just employees from a country that is already naturally customer-service orientated, but they are staffs that have been especially selected then trained then re-trained and upgraded. That is without the added skills of local knowledge, bi- or tri-lingual language communication, knowledge of wines and foods which are all necessary for the upkeep of a five star luxury hotel. .

Guanajuato, Mexico Tourist Season 2008

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:10:54 -0800

In the middle of the night when the bombing Day of the Dead fireworks began and I was startled awake by my three-foot, straight-up jump out of bed, I suddenly remembered I had forgotten to write my annual article about this year's Guanajuato Tourist Season! In case you don't know, I have been writing a special-interest article each year about the Gringo Invasion of Guanajuato. These invaders are called tourists. More specifically, these conquering travelers are commonly known in Guanajuato as Gringo Tourists. And to be even more scientific about it, Gringo is the Genus and not the breed of Tourists.The word Genus, according to Webster means, "a class, kind, or group marked by common characteristics or by one common characteristic."What I am talking about is the specific Species or Breed of Tourists taught in Tourism School or the science of Touristology called The American Gringo Tourist. To understand this better, think of the dog breed, The Great Dane. It is a domestic dog. Thi...
