Dog Friendly Vacations: Where Can You Go? Blog 2

Dog Friendly VacationsNow that we have talked about setting aside some time for your pooch while you are on vacation, the next step is going to be ensuring that the hotel takes dogs.  A lot of hotels nowadays have switched around their thinking and they are now accepting pets of all shapes and sizes – however, there is usually a fee attached with it.  Some hotels charge one flat fee and others charge daily, so that is something you will definitely have to find out.

If the hotel has a courtyard or even just some patio rooms, it is a great idea to see if you can get one of those in order to take your doggie out – it makes life a lot easier, trust me.  If your dog is crate-trained, definitely make sure that you bring their crate, so if you are out of the room, they will be okay.

Dogs are a fantastic counterpart whenever you are on vacation and now that the hotels – a lot of them anyway have switched their policies around, you should be able to bring your dog anywhere!

Bangkok Thailand: It’s The Place To Be!

Bangkok

A lot of people simply have no idea that Thailand is one of the most beautiful places to visit and go on vacation to.  Seriously, while I, personally have never been there, I know that there is a heck of a lot to see and that there are so many things to do, you truly will be amazed.  For example, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is definitely something that everyone should see in their lifetime.  This temple is one of the oldest and largest in the world and it is definitely a sight that should not be rushed.

Another sight to be seen is the Jim Thompson House, this is the guy that started the Thai silk industry after WWII and it features all sorts of Asian art, along with tons of different and unique displays.  This is a sight that should not be missed or underestimated.  There are also a ton of different cooking classes that you can take or you can simply relax in one of the many different spas available!

Thailand, especially Bangkok really has it going on and too many people think that it is just too hot and sticky.  It is worth the sight, the trip and the heat!
