 Sailing with a sporty and nice
guy by NeverGrowOld
One thing I like best in Sattahip is its' primitiveness. Putting hands under sand and lifting it up water surface slowly...can you imagine...you would see many tiny sea snails scrabbling on fours on your palms. Oh, I do like that feeling!
When we arrived, all were well prepared and ready for a wonderful sea sport tour. First was a sailing trip with a member of Thailand national sailing team. He could not speak English, but looked sporty and was very helpful. You could see how lucky I was already, couldn't you?
For sailing, of course what you need to prepare is a sailing boat Leave a Comment Theme: Boating/Sailing

 winston...going for a sprint by travelagent4thailand
There almost over a dozen of professional karting tracks across Thailand.
Almost all of the tracks are outdoors and some places have night karting which makes it excellent to beat the hot day time weather.
Famous kart manufacturers and international / domestic races are held annually....boasting all renown brands!
So come on down, all you speed hungry people.
All tracks rent karts of different sizes and ranges from 50 cc up to 120 cc and some places have more!
Rentals are anywhere from 200 baht to 500+ baht for 10 minutes...the higher the power, the more it is...
The tracks also have overalls for renters to use, complimentary. Helmets are also provided free of charge for every rental, though they are not world standard safety, it's useable.
Karts are imported or made locally, and the local ones are as good...so check out your speed.

ABOUT A THREE-DAY JUNGLE SURVIVAL TOUR IN LOPBURI PROVINCE (this chapter is for the thrill-seekers only !)
You may not know that the trekkings you are offered have already been experienced by hundred of thousands of tourists before you... but that's true (just believe me) !
Every inch of the Thai territory is well known. There is no place for a tourist-turned 'Robinson Crusoe' in this part of the world. I agree that this is a very bad news for the newcomers !...
But now, listen to me, if instead you are proposed to be a tourist-turned 'Rambo' (yes, I said 'Rambo') in the only jungle left in Lopburi province, would you like to take the challenge ? Well, I know a few VT friends who will.
Today, I have got the information that they are looking for and I want to share it with all of you. You may be interested too, so keep
on reading !
This is a new attraction in Thailand, Introduced by the Special Warfare Command Unit in Lopburi province (for your information, the Lopburi Army Command has become the second largest army base apart from Bangkok).
In order to raise some needed funds, it has opened its bases (Lopburi, Lampang, Phitsanuloke and Nakorn Sri Thammarat) to visitors.
In Lopburi, it has introduced a special three-day jungle excursion tour where visitors learn how to survive as a soldier while enjoying nature and wildlife in the Sublunga jungle. Tower jumping, rock-climbing, weaponry use including M-16 automatic rifles and camping are among the proposed activities.
So, if an army-style adventure tourism is what you are seeking, and if you're ready to pay 2,500 baht (that's the latest information I've got) for the package, please contact the Tourism Department of the Royal Thai Army Command Unit at 036 412 192 or the TAT Tel/fax 036 422 768-9).
And 'good luck to you, 'Rambo to be' ! Leave a Comment Theme: Extreme Sports

If you are like me, then you are often in the mood to throw some weights around. I'm happy to say that Bangkok now has several good, quality gyms where you can get an excellent round of exercise. Here are the websites of two great healthclub franchises:
www.californiawowx.com
www.fitnessfirst.co.th
These places aren't cheap, but if you want good facilities with air-conditioning they are great options if you can afford it. There are quite a few other healthclubs throughout the city.
If you want to get your muscles pumping on the cheap then there is a gym located in Lumpini Park that (last time I checked) only charges 20 Baht per day. The gym is outdoors, so the often intense heat can often be very hard to handle. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
