			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, near the Gulf of Thailand. The city houses more than 10 million people, making it a highly traffic-congested city.</p>
<p>Bangkok&#8217;s hotels offer a great combination of service and facilities to meet the budgeting requirements of every traveler. Conrad Hotel is one of the more expensive hotels, with 392 luxurious and spacious rooms with contemporary Thai-styled silk and wood furnishings. A 24-hour stay costs around 5,650 Baht (Approx 137 US$) in this stylish deluxe hotel situated in All Seasons Place &#8211; the heart of the central business district. The hotel is close to major embassies and the Skytrain. The rooms give wonderful panoramic views over the popular Lumpini Park.</p>
<p>There are some less expensive hotels as well. Grand Hyatt Erawan, situated near the Erawan Shrine in the city’s business and commercial district, is just a 30-minute drive from Bangkok International Airport. Inter Continental Bangkok is very nominal; a room costs nearly 1,900 Baht (Approx 45 US$). This hotel is also situated in a prime central location opposite the Erawan Shrine. This five-star hotel offers comfort, luxury and spectacular views from all its 37 floors. It’s just five minutes’ walk to the World Trade Center, shopping centers and a Skytrain station. Some of the hotels that offer opportunities for leisure as well as business meetings are JW Marriott Bangkok, Athenee Bangkok A Royal Meridien Hotel, Bangkok Marriott Resort &#038; Spa, Millennium Hilton Bangkok, Shangri-La Bangkok, The Oriental Bangkok, The Peninsula Bangkok, Banyan Tree Bangkok, Metropolitan Hotel, Dusit Thani Bangkok, Pan Pacific, Sheraton Grande and many more.</p>
<p>Thai cuisine is a centuries-old blend of Eastern and Western influences. Today Thai food is relished all over the world. Almost all metropolitan cities in the world have Thai restaurants.</p>
<p>The best way to locate a hotel would be to talk to the travel agent who books the travel ticket to this City of Angels, as it is sometimes called.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest accommodation option tourists and business visitors have in Bangkok is Bangkok serviced apartments. These apartments are fully furnished with necessary items like dishes, linen and entertainment systems to make your stay in Bangkok a great one. The Bangkok serviced apartment is cleaned by a maid who comes in daily and whose rate is included in the price of the apartment. Most buildings also have additional features like gym, coffee shop, laundry rooms, restaurants and more.</p>
<p>Rate wise, Bangkok serviced apartments are quite reasonable when compared to hotels. So you tend to save more by staying in these apartments. It is not the rate that attracts visitors to Bangkok serviced apartments; it is the homey atmosphere it offers that brings patrons to the apartment. The best place to look for information about the different Bangkok serviced apartments is the internet where there are lists of different apartments available for hire. These sites offer instant credit card booking facilities and usually quote prices for the Bangkok serviced apartment in both American dollar and Thai currency.</p>
<p>However first time users had better use the help of a travel agency, with experience in Bangkok serviced apartment, to find out what they have to offer for your stay in Bangkok. Before choosing your accommodation, you have to look for references and reviews about both the travel agent and the location you select. With this information, you will be able to decide just how feasible the Bangkok services apartment is for you to.</p>
<p>Bangkok serviced apartments are usually let on leases of a month to a year or longer, where one months’ rent is to be paid as deposit and two months rent as security that will be returned on the termination of the lease period. Shorter stays are considered more of a hotel stay than an apartment stay. As usual, before signing on the contract for the Bangkok serviced apartment, make sure you read the information thoroughly, and clarify all clauses and terms you don’t understand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thailand means the land of the free which lies in the heart of Southeast Asia. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world and one can only experience the exotic beauty of the place when you get there. The fresh air kissing your face when you walk on the beach, the mouth watering dishes and the rush and madness in the market is something you will perhaps not get to see anywhere else.</p>

<p>The central part where you will find paddy field, farms and all kinds of fruits.</p>
<p>The northeast plateau is famous for its rich archaeological and anthropological heritage.</p>

<p>You will have no problem communicating as most of the hotels, restaurants and tourist places speak English and other European languages. There are various modes of transportation. You can either hire a taxi to go around the city, or take the city bus .There is also something called Tuk-Tuk, a three wheeler. You would definitely enjoy the open air ride on this three wheeler and for longer destinations there are trains always running to all the places.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mention Medical Tourism and one country, Thailand, keeps coming up. Thailand is the home of Medical Tourism with over 300,000 visiting in 2003 rising to an estimated 1.4 million in 2006. While most associate Bangkok with shining, golden temples it is the glittering medical facilities that attract the Medical Tourist.</p>
<p>The scale of Thailand&#8217;s medical sector is staggering: Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok treated nearly 1 million patients last year; 400,000 foreign patients of which 120,000 came from Europe and America.</p>
<p>Excellence in healthcare is a family tradition in Thailand. The current king&#8217;s father Prince Mahidol, a U.S. board certified doctor, began the transformation of the country&#8217;s healthcare system in the 1920s. A close relationship with America&#8217;s medical profession remains to this day, with large numbers of Thai doctors receiving training and board certification in America before returning home to practice.</p>
<p>Medical excellence reaches out into all aspects of Thailand&#8217;s governance creating a truly integrated approach to improving standards. From a national programme of hospital accreditation to the highest standards of laboratory inspection, quality is a vital component of Thailand&#8217;s medical sector.</p>
<p>Thailand&#8217;s medical expertise covers every conceivable situation. Heart and liver transplants first began to be performed during the 1980s. This tradition of world leadership in medicine continues to this day.</p>
<p>Bangkok&#8217;s BHN Hospital recently became one of the few world facilities offering Total Artificial Disc Replacement. It is not just foreign expertise that is driving Thailand&#8217;s medical profession; a growing pool of home-grown talent is pushing the boundaries of medical knowledge.</p>
<p>One of Thailand&#8217;s most prestigious public hospitals, Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, recently presented a major study on the use of stem cell therapy in the treatment of severe heart disease to the American Heart Association, cementing the countries reputation as a world leader in medical research.</p>
<p>Leading edge technology and unparalleled levels of patient care mean that Thailand is impossible to ignore when it comes to Medical Tourism.</p>
