Bangkok
After our tour in Phuket Island, now we're heading to Bangkok, characteristics that have made the good (or bad) reputation of Bangkok, it is primarily the telescoping of opposites that attracted. The modern opulence revolves around a traditional quiet heart. You can go from a four star hotel with the feel of a typical Siamese village where taxi drivers are drinking energy drinks while eating grilled chicken barbecues street or be privileged to witness the activity of famous temples and shrines in the city or simple acts of kindness in the busy city. As for the Skytrain, it will lead you to shopping centers where the dapper young jet reviewed luxury brands as carefully as the housewives inspect the goods in the markets.
Feel free to flirt between all these worlds. Whether it's dinner, possibly more, in a chic club, to refuel the market, getting a massage or pamper and unlike a sweat during an impromptu march, Bangkok a dream come true for savvy urbanites.

Phuket - Thailand
Phuket Island, the largest of Thailand, is so extensive that you rarely feel surrounded by water. That may be why the "ko" ("island" in Thai) prefix was dropped. Dubbed the "Pearl of the Andaman" by tour operators, Phuket is Thailand's destination for a holiday in the sun.
Patong, "Sin City" is the main town of Phuket, and its beach is the most popular. The go-go bars are part of the night scene and after a drunken night, vacationers bask pills all day on the beach.
But Phuket is more than just a luxury destination very fashionable: the jet-set, more present than ever, come here for Thai massage sessions upscale before drinking cocktails in broad strokes at posh parties. However, no need to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth to come to Phuket's deep sea diving, quality restaurants and sandy beaches are likely to satisfy everyone.
