Many of us like to set as wallpaper paradise views from beaches somewhere at the end of the world. A boat moored by the shore or a picturesque bay - when we add white sand and crystal clear water to it, we get one of the many views from Thailand. You won't get here by camper van, but it's worth getting on a plane, spending some more time on the bus, and then changing to a boat and sailing to paradise. And there ... If someone does not know how to swim, he has to stand on the beach and cry from despair - or learn to swim.

The question is trivial? At first glance, it seems that no one should have any problems with such a purchase. And yet, buying a decent sleeping bag is not so easy - it is not enough to go to the store and choose the most expensive model. As with buying a tent and anything else we need for camping, the decision to choose a sleeping bag should be carefully considered. If we want to buy an ordinary, cheap product, driven by the desire to save (or the lack of larger funds), sooner or later we will wake up frozen and broken. Whoever had the dubious pleasure of experiencing such a night knows what it is. A sleeping bag does not necessarily have to be thick, but it should be made of a decent material. This rule does not apply to mountain climbing enthusiasts and overnight stays in lower temperature conditions - such tourists will rather buy a thick sleeping bag filled with natural down . Of course, correspondingly more expensive.

How to buy a good sleeping bag

Tourists visiting Thailand probably first go to Bangkok - one of the most visited places in the country. Right behind it is Chiang Mai, a city in the northern part of the country, in the province bearing the same name. The capital of the region is also called the Rose of the North, which perfectly reflects its beauty. There are many Buddhist temples covered with blossoming gardens, and in the picturesque streets, we encounter beautiful flora at every step. The full name of the city is Nopburi Srinakornping Chiangmai, which means "New Town" (although it is actually over 700 years old). It is impossible not to love Chiang Mai. Not only for the beauty of the city itself, but also for the landscapes that you can admire while exploring it. The most beautiful views are from one of the city's most magnificent temples - Wat Phra That Doi Suthep . The complex of delicious buildings is located on the hill of Doi Suthep, west of Chaing Mai. The beauty of the temple delights and dazzles with the richness of gilding and colors. The openwork umbrellas surrounding the chedi (towers) add to its attractiveness.

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, which is very popular with tourists. It owes it to its beauty and easy access from many places around the globe. The island has an international airport of Phuket through which 3 million people pass through each year. It is perfectly connected with the largest airports in the world and with the country itself. The surface of the island is very varied - on the west coast there are beautiful sandy beaches, and the center is mountainous and covered with lush vegetation (approx. 7% of the island is a natural forest). Tourists from Europe are particularly eager to visit Patong, which is easy to notice, especially in winter, when there are many of them there.

Theme-river: how to prepare a dish during your stay at the campsite so that you can eat it quickly and not get tired at the same time? The classics of away meals are pasta and rice dishes or immortal grilled dishes. However, when we go on vacation for one year in a row, such dining can be - literally and figuratively - eaten. So, today we present some interesting suggestions for quick, but not banal meals. They are worth trying, if only because they will be successful even when we choose the proportions "by eye".

Quick camping meals

Bangkok delights and stuns you from the first time you set foot on Thai soil. Tourists leaving the plane are struck by the modernity of the airport, only to then be enchanted by the peace and elegance of the temples. Then it deafens him with the noise of narrow streets filled with people, stalls and tuk-tuk rickshaws, only to soothe him with the sight of a lazily flowing river. It is the quintessence of Asianness, it pulsates with life, outrages and delights at the same time. The impression of the lushness of the city's architecture is partly due to its... chaotic nature. Bangkok is crisscrossed by canals, which is why it is sometimes called the "Venice of the East" . There is no one precisely defined center, and the center is Rattanakosin - an island with numerous attractions of the Old Town. Tourists will probably also visit the Shanghai-like Chinatown district and the Pahurat Indian district. Virtually around every turn we enter a different world.

Young children at the campsite can draw, play dozens of games or perform "adult" duties such as helping prepare meals. Slightly older offspring can also do this, but they can also be encouraged to take slightly more sophisticated activities. On American portals we can find a lot of creative ideas that stimulate the imagination and encourage the whole family to join the fun. An example is the preparation of totems from paper plates and various materials. We will create our portraits together, sticking eyes made of acorns, hair made of noodles or twigs on the plates. The resulting totems can be placed on sticks stuck in the ground - our offspring will have no problems with getting into a tent or a camper.

Those who already sharpen their skis for the madness on the slopes have an extremely large selection when it comes to renowned European resorts. The offer is diverse and suited to everyone - from advanced skiers looking for a challenge to beginners who want to find out if snow skiing is what speeds up the blood flow in their veins. You can choose between small, even intimate, and huge resorts with hundreds of kilometers of ski slopes and extensive tourist infrastructure. A great example of an ideal resort for active people who want to make the most of their stay is Val Thorens - a ski paradise which is the highest winter sports center in Europe. The station is located at an altitude of 2,300 m, offering skiers excellent conditions for practicing their favorite sport even in May. An extensive accommodation base located directly on the slopes, numerous restaurants and shops, as well as discos together create a tempting offer, which is used by hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over Europe every year.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and the best ideas come to our minds by chance (as could be seen from a tumor on Newton's head). Those who admired MacGyver's adventures in their childhood can apply some interesting patents while on a camping holiday. They will not only make their holidays more enjoyable, but also impress their friends. If during your stay at the campsite you feel like spending the evening by the fire, you can add a little sage to the fire . Its aroma will effectively drive away mosquitoes, allowing us to enjoy the charm of the moment - without having to drive away insects. Not everyone has access to fresh sage, so you can think about it when completing spices for your trip.

Clever camping tricks

The silence in space can overwhelm us and make us feel terribly lonely. In contrast, the silence prevailing under water is, paradoxically, full of life - even in a situation where we dive very deep, and we are surrounded only by cold and darkness. However, we can see the vibrant, colorful world under the water surface not only in a scuba diver's outfit. It can be just as exciting to stand in front of giant shafts in one of Europe's many oceanariums. The largest and most famous ones offer tourists contact with the calmness of the oceans and the opportunity to observe the intense life of hundreds of marine creatures.

Will there be at least one woman whose eyes will not shine on the slogan "sale", and after hearing "promotion" will not speed up her heart rate? In order not to sound too stereotypical, she will definitely be found, but the average woman will start to breathe faster at the sound of these words. Especially when he finds out about the existence of the city of endless sales - Designer Outlet located in Roermond, the Netherlands. It is closed for only two days: on Christmas Eve and on New Year's Day. During the remaining days, it is more or less crowded with customers coming from all over Europe, which can be seen in the car registrations in the parking lots in front of the gate to the boutique paradise.

Not only for women - the Roermond sales

The saying "to have something on the tip of your tongue" is known to everyone. However, not everyone has had the opportunity to translate this metaphorical statement into a real act and find themselves on the tip of the tongue. Specifically, the language of the troll, that is, to stand on a rock protruding over the abyss. It is an adventure not so much for lovers of linguistics and word games, but for lovers of adrenaline. The aforementioned Troll Tongue is also known as Trolltunga , a rock located in Norway. Whoever has had the opportunity to visit this beautiful, albeit austere country, knows that mountain trips on Norwegian rock formations have nothing to do with polite traversing the beaten track in the Pieniny Mountains. The conquerors of the peaks have the opportunity to admire views that cannot be compared with anything else, and without any protection. In order to understand what it is about, it is enough to give an example of the famous Preikestolen cliff - a jagged giant hanging over a precipice, without even any chain barriers. A real suicide fantasy and chilling views for anyone suffering from fear of heights.
