White sand beaches align this scenic stretch of paradise.

Located just over a one hour drive southeast of Pattaya, Laem Mae Phim offers an attractive destination for either a weekend holiday retreat or a permanent residence far away from home. Laem in Thai translates to “cape” as the rugged volcanic outcrop at the point of land’s end gives rise to this area’s name.

Koh Chang: A Monsoon Getaway at Great Prices Chris Stanley 21.06.2010	Motorcycle Tours Around Thailand TAT Thailand 21.06.2010
While Pattaya is a bustling city with all kinds of interesting and exciting things to do it can sometimes get just a little bit too intense. When this happens the best thing you can do is get away for a few days and recharge your batteries. Maybe there’s no better place to do this than on Koh Chang in Trat Province.	When it comes to motorcycle touring, Thailand ranks as one of the world’s great destinations. This is for the very simple reason that it has it all: craggy hills, forests, endless coastlines, unspoiled national parks, historic monuments, magnificent temples, modern cities, ancient ruins, diverse ethnicities, varied cultures, an advanced road network, accommodation to suit all budgets and, of course, the hospitality and grace that really mark the kingdom out in the world. Apart from the ‘oneness’ with the environment that riding a motorcycle brings, it also allows you to go where you like, when you like. As well as visiting all the well-known places advertised in the holiday brochures, you can also get way off the beaten track and explore roads far less travelled.
