April 2008

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the April edition of Tuk Tuk Express.
Thai New year has come and gone and it was celebrated with the usual enthusiasm throughout the country. Many wet and happy foreigners can testify to how the Thais involved them in their celebrations.

As Thailand fast approaches the wet season, the temperature is building up. It is a perfect time to visit the islands to escape the heat. Ko Samui is especially inviting at this time of the year as it does not experience the monsoon that the rest of Thailand does. The beaches are calm, the weather dry and the beer is cold.

What makes Ko Samui even more attractive is that it is now serviced regularly by Thai Airways.
Hopefull,y after you have read the accompanying stories, you will agree with us that any time is the right time to visit Thailand.
