This summer and spring time is precious, so instead of investing this time at your local dirty beach, why not travel to Southeast Asia and uncover the two hidden ecotourist locations - India and Thailand.
One of those special ecotourism destinations that you may have dreamt about is sure to be the lovely beaches of Kerala in India where there is plenty of natural resources including quite backwaters and a very pleasing climate that is supposed to be among the best in the world that attracts many people to it. Along with ecotourism, Kerala also has many festivals rich in color of local customs and the outstanding culinary delights that makes it a very special ecotourism destination indeed.
Kerala: God's Own Country
Many people in Kerala call this Indian state as being "God's own Country" and the many attractions include clear skies, blue waters and also beaches that provide solitude and quiet. There are also hills where green tea is grown and there are also many bird sanctuaries as well as heavily wooded forests and a lot of wildlife as well. This ecotourism destination also attracts local tourists and those from abroad who also love the many festivals as well as the splendid houseboat rides in the backwaters of the state.
- Ecotourism destinations that are found in Kerala give visitors the opportunity to experience what gentle nature is all about. Not only is there fantastic wildlife and bird sanctuaries to experience in Kerala, but this ecotourism destination also provides ample scope for rock climbing adventures, traveling down bird watching trails and also trying mountain biking while living in the tree houses and also getting to experience the thrill of the forest life complete with its wildlife. I recommend visiting the sit Kerala Back Water for more information on Kerala eco tourism. http://www.keralabackwater.com/kerala-tourism/eco-tourism-in-kerala/index.html
Its one of the best sites on the net.
Thailand: The Land of Smiles
Another exciting ecotourism destination is Thailand, the country that raises images of fields filled with fruits that ripen beneath tropical suns and which is a fast emerging ecotourism destination in the world. That is not surprising given that there is striking wildlife and rivers that run freely along with the cloud forests that seemingly are endlessly covered in mist. It also has a number of towns that are small in size, but are big in life and with tiled roof homes is harmony personified that is further enhanced by the friendliness of the local people. Here too, you can find bird watching very exciting, beach resorts and a basic trek in the jungles which contributes immensely to the country's ecotourism industry.

This is a wonderful ecotourism destination that has both Pacific and Atlantic Oceans striking their waters onto its shores and the climate is temperate, and you will especially enjoy the limestone climestone cliffs and g as also the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve that are the country's two world heritage sights.

Medical Tourism In Thailand
By Pauline Go
Medical tourism is fast becoming very popular in Thailand, especially given the fact there are some very good hospitals in Thailand catering specifically to foreign patients. Bumrungrad Hospital, Bangkok Nursing Home Hospital and Samitivej Hospital are three such hospitals which are also popular with the local foreign population living in Bangkok.
- You would be surprise to know that these three hospitals having been promoting themselves quite actively in the last four to five years and now 60 percent of the patients in Bumrungrad Hospital are foreigners while Samitivej Hospitals has 40 percent. It is not that these hospitals do not accept Thai patients. They do. However, while foreigners consider these hospitals cheaper than the hospitals in their own country, most Thai cannot afford these hospitals. Hence, they do not visit them.
It is estimated that nearly 1.28 million foreigners visit Thai hospitals each year bring in revenues close to 33 billion baht.
Hospitals like Bumrungrad Hospital are covered a lot of U.S. television station and international magazines like Newsweek.
There is no doubt that medical tourism in Thailand is all set to become a major revenue generator not just for the hospitals but also for the country. The prices offered in Thailand are much lower compared to the U.S. and UK. However, the standard of treatment and technology is as high if not better. One thing is for sure that the hospitals in Thailand more hospitable and friendly.
- Though medical tourism in Thailand is booming, the omnipresent question is whether the poor of the country will get the same facility and treatment. From end of 2006, healthcare has become free in Thailand but there is a dearth of doctors in poorer provinces as doctors prefer to work for private hospitals where the salaries are higher.
