ADVENTURE TO THAILAND FOR YOUNG TRAVELLER

Before embarking on you journey to Thailand, it might be best to check with your international clubs and associations within your university or school to start establishing ties with a friend your age in Thailand. Having a friendly contact in Thailand before you arrive is a good idea as you have someone to look forward to meet. Such clubs as Rotary International and Skal Club would normally have worldwide presence in all educational institutions. Being in touch with these types of organizations well ahead of your intended trip gives you the opportunity to exchange thoughts with someone your age, as well as ensure that you have a group of friends even before you arrive, making your trip to Thailand even more memorable. Another good idea is to be in touch with the various international language centres in your country that are affiliated with a school in Thailand such as British council, AUA (American Alumni Association), Goethe Institute, ect. These language centres are idea for you to be associated with as they are usually a hub for young people around the world to learn a foreign language and this means the opportunity to make even more friends. Also visit the Federation of International Youth Travel Organisations (FIYTO) for travel ideas as well as a listing of accommodation in Thailand. Visiting your local YMCA(Young Men’s Christian Association) and YWCA(Young Women’s Christian Association) is also a good idea in order to get information concerning their location in Thailand and the type of accommodation and support provided. Before starting your travels to Thailand, it may also be a good idea to drop by at a Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) office closet to you or, visit http://www.tourismthailand.org/ for more information.
