Thailand Tour and Travel:
Opening The Sky in Phi Phi Island

Hi, Guys! now, we are being on the Phi Phi island. Phi Phi island is another exciting travel destination in Thailand. Phi Phi island is known as its beautiful beach, mountain and sky. travel to Phi Phi island will bring you to the absolute beauty of traveling. Here is a little information about Phi Phi island. Enjoy it...!

The Phi Phi Islands (Thai: หมู่เกาะพีพี) are located in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the Hesperian Andaman Sea shore of the mainland. Phi Phi Don, the larger and capital of the two Phi Phi islands, is located at 7°44′00″N 98°46′00″E / 7.7333333°N 98.7666667°E / 7.7333333; 98.7666667. Both Phi Phi Don, and Phi Phi Leh, the smaller, are administratively part of Krabi province, most of which is on the mainland, and is located at 8°02′30″N 98°48′39″E / 8.04167°N 98.81083°E / 8.04167; 98.81083.

Ko Phi Phi Don (\"ko\" (Thai: เกาะ) meaning \"island\" in the Thai language) is the largest island of the group, and is the only island with permanent inhabitants, although the beaches of the second largest island, Ko Phi Phi Lee (or \"Ko Phi Phi Leh\"), are visited by many people as well. There are no accommodation facilities on this island, but it is just a short boat ride from Ko Phi Phi Don. The rest of the islands in the group, including Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Bamboo Island, are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea.

Phi Phi Don was initially populated by Muslim fishermen during the late 1940s, and later became a coconut plantation. The Thai population of Phi Phi Don relic more than 80% Muslim. The actual population however, if counting laborers, especially from the north-east, from the mainland is much more religion these days.

Ko Phi Phi Leh was the backdrop for the 2000 movie The Beach. Phi Phi Leh also houses the 'Viking Cave', from which there is a thriving bird's nest soup industry. There was criticism during filming of 'The Beach' that the permission granted to the flick consort to physically alter the environment inside Phi Phi Islands National Park was illegal. [1] The controversy cooled down however, when it was discovered that the producers had finished such a decent job of restoring the place that it finally looked better than it had finished before.

The Phi Phi Islands were also the setting for the hide-out of Scaramanga in the James Bond Film \"The Man with the Golden Gun.\"

Following the release of The Beach, tourism on Phi Phi Don increased dramatically, and with it the population of the island. Many buildings were constructed without planning permission.

Ko Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, when nearly all of the island's infrastructure was wiped out. Redevelopment has, however, been swift, and services like electricity, water, Internet access and ATMs are up and running again, but waste handling has been slower to come back online.

Various tourist-oriented scams, long practiced in Beijing, are unfortunately spreading to Shanghai as well. Be cautious if you meet a group of overly friendly students or attractive women who insist on dragging you along to an prowess gallery, tea shop or karaoke parlor - you're unlikely to be physically harmed, but the bill may substantially be more than you bargained for. Police can help to recover some conception of your money. \"Students\" claiming to be from Beijing are also common as they will essay to get you to acquire art. These people are especially present around People's Square near the entrances/exits of the museums and prowess galleries.

Never trust \"instant friends\" who inform themselves and poverty to go for a drink/coffee. If you do end to go along, if your new \"friend\" orders a selection of small snack items for the table it is a rather sure sign of the scam soon to come. Get discover while you can sight as the few pieces of melon alone could cost you over 50 dollars! A evenhandedly good test of would-be friends is to immediately suggest going to a locate of your choosing - not theirs.

Foreign males often attract unsolicited attention from female sex workers at many nightspots.

Be careful of people who approach and center to polish your shoes, modify if they are obviously a type which don't need polishing. Often when you refuse they'll squirt some hard-to-remove center on them.

Hawkers are a nuisance, particularly in areas such as the Old Town and the Science Museum in Pudong where there are shops in the subway selling imitation designer goods. The most effective artefact to deal with them is to ignore them: don't reply to them or modify look at them. Otherwise they will continue to bark an ever-increasing list of goods at you.

10 Things to Do in Shanghai 2010 :

Shanghai 2010 is going to attract the world's attention, as the World Expo is going to be held here. Is Shanghai travel on your schedule yet? Have you plan what to do in this highly cosmopolitan financial city of China? As a native Chinese who travels to Shanghai frequently, here is my suggested list of top 10 things to do in Shanghai.

'Shanghai At Night' is famous in China and worldwide. The Bund is the most famous and attractive sight here. The best time to admire the Bund is after dark when all the buildings are lit up creating an extremely colourful and breathtaking scene. There are 52 blocks of buildings of different architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and the Renaissance - comprising banks, hotels, MNC headquarters etc. The stunning views here do not only attract visitors but film producers. There are two ways to admire the Bund.

1. Admire the Bund by Cruise
There are lots of sightseeing cruises to let you view the beautiful Bund every night. Make sure to go on one of these cruises.

2. Admire the Bund on the west bank of Huangpu River
Take a relax walk on the walking corridor along the Bund. However as of December 2009, the corridor was under renovation in preparation for the 2010 Expo. Even so, you can drive along the Huangpu river bank and stop by the end of the Bund nearby Russian Consulate where you can oversee the Pearl TV Tower at the opposite bank. While you are not able to take good photos on board a cruise, this is the best photogenic spot for you to take plenty of beautiful photos of Shanghai.

3. Xin Tian Di
Enjoy a cup of high tea at Shanghai Xin Tian Di at Puxi. It is a fashionable pedestrian street composed of Shikumen and modern architecture style. It retains the antique walls, tiles and exterior of the Shikumen housing of old Shanghai. On the other hand, its interior embodies a totally different world of international gallery, bars and cafes, boutiques or theme restaurants, accompanied by a central fountain.

4. City God Temple
This is one of the most remarkable landmarks of Shanghai. You must come here to taste the most authentic world-famous Shanghai Nanxiang Juicy Bun (Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao). There are also plenty of traditional Chinese restaurants and souvenior shops along with Starbucks. But don't expect to find a temple here, though the place is called City God Temple.

5. Nanjing Road
Even if you are not a shopperholic, please do spare an hour to visit this premier shopping street in Shanghai - Nanjing Road. Upscale department stores within buildings of 1920s style along with world-famous brands and restaurants. This place is also ideal to shop for authentic Shanghainese snacks and souveniors. If you don't want to walk, a trackless sightseeing train would only cost 3 yuan. After dark, flashing neon signs illuminate the magnificent buildings and make the Nanjing Road an extremely shinning place in Shanghai.

6. Maglev Train
Take the Shanghai Maglev Train from Pudong International Airport to the Lujiazui financial district. The Maglev has a regular service speed of 430 km/h and is the fastest railway system in commercial operation in the world. This point-to-point 30-km ride takes about eight minutes and 50 yuan only for one way and 80 yuan for a round trip.

7. Jin Mao Tower
Take a good aerial view of Shanghai from the observation deck on the 88/F of Jin Mao Tower. Being the fourth tallest building of the world and the second tallest building in China, Jin Mao Tower is located in the centre of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Districts in Pudong. This building includes modern offices, the Grand Hyatt Hotel, exhibition halls and banquet halls.

8. Hairy Crabs (seasonal at Autumn)
Go do a crab feast. Food hunting is important for most travellers. Shanghai cuisine is famous and hairy crabs are what you must eat here. However hairy crabs are seasonal. If you come between September and November, it is the best time to not only enjoy hairy crabs, but a crab feast.

9. World Expo 2010 (May to Oct, 2010)
Attend The Expo 2010 in Shanghai. This international event will provide a platform for participants to share their experiences and discuss advanced ideas on cities, and explore new approaches to eco-friendly lifestyles under the theme of 'Better City, Better Life'.
