Kaitsurfing in Thailand:
KiteSerfing in Thailand is quite developed contrary to the emerging opinion that in this country you can only sunbathe on the beaches and indel out. In the period from May to October in Thailand or many precipitation in the form of frequent rains or short-term heavy rains. The season of excellent wind is considered to be the period from November to April. The main part of the infrastructure designed to occupy kaiting and windsurfing in Thailand is located on the eastern shore of the Siamese bay. For these types of outdoor activities, it is required to overcome about 500 kilometers in any direction from Bangkok.

Cha Am and Hua Hin

Place on the shores of the Siamese Gulf, located three hours from the capital of Thailand in the direction of Phuket. You can reach this area with a taxi or public transport services. Taxi can be rented directly at the airport, saying Hua Hin Taxist. Taxi rental cost is about 2000 baht.

SPOT is suitable for almost all both beginners and experienced in Cite and Windsurfing.

Hua Hin is mostly kaiter town. Among the local residents of ripples are very little, which cannot be said about coming. Hua Hin Beach is sandy with enough homogeneous sand, there are no stones on the beach. In this area, rainy and windy weather is observed from May to November, and in the period from March to May, the most optimal time comes to travel.

In the appearance of Hua Hee more reminds the port with a huge accumulation of restaurants, all kinds of bars and shops. Unlike Hua Hini Cha Am, is a quiet place that will suit lovers of relaxing and silence. In Cham, there are 5 kilometers of a beautiful beach, where there is a small number of people. From mid-February and almost until the end of April blows a strong enough wind, which makes this place on the coast ideal for training. In the period from November to January, the wind subsides a little, but becomes more stable, which is especially noticeable in the morning hours. This season is characterized by the appearance of sufficiently high waves on the surface of a relatively calm bay.

Skating and learning takes place on the main city beach of the town of CHA AM, north of the beach is located station and school for skating skating. Conditions for learning on the beach Stunning: Nature is very beautiful, and the depth is to the belt. Such conditions are ideal for learning, as they prevent serious injury in training.

This place is very convenient for windsurfers and bits of different levels of preparation. The bottom of the sea is sandy, winds in the area are not particularly strong, which contributes to the training of Windsurfing. The winds in the area are from January to March. This coast area is a few. On the coast, south of Hae Ama and near Hua Hin, within the city of Pran Buri, there is a comfortable place to occupy an active holiday. The wind in the area appears, as a rule, after lunch and in the evening, and closer to midnight the time of parties begins, which is a huge amount here. A well-developed infrastructure will not allow the tourist to lovingly actively relaxing to bother in the afternoon or at night in the absence of wind.

Ko Samui is an island in the Water area of \u200b\u200bthe Siamese Gulf, on which Thailand is trying to preserve the untouched world of wildlife. You can get to the island in several ways. This can be done with the help of an airplane from Bangkok airport or with water vehicles. The island through air traffic is reported to the Islands of Singapore and Krabi, as well as with cities Pattaya and the capital of Thailand Bangkok, and flights to Bangkok and back are carried out several times a day.

When traveling to the island, you can save, spending only about 800 baht. To do this, you need to drive from Bangkok to SURAT THANI station, and then in the nearby town with Donsak title to get on the ferry. From the port of this city, the ferry message has been established with all the nearby islands.

In the case of a bus selection as a means of movement, you should sit on it either on Khao San Road Street, which is one of the most famous in Bangkok or from the southern bus station. Buses run daily at six o'clock in the evening. When purchasing a bus ticket through local travel agencies, it is worth buying immediately and a ferry ticket coming to Koh Samui. The fact is that buying at once the tickets for both transports can be saved a little, since the purchase of tickets separately will be more expensive. When choosing, a bus should be considered that, departing from Bangkok at six o'clock in the evening, you will arrive at the port only in the morning.

The south-east coast is best suited on the island for swimming, there is quite deserted and there are no resorts on the shore. Here on the shore is a local school of training kaiter and tourism infrastructure is quite well established. The sea on this coast forms a lagoon, which, if there is a wind, becomes an ideal place for skating, both for beginners and experienced lovers of this type of rest. Wind wave rises at a distance of 700 meters from the coast, behind the reef, which is for the lagoon by insurance from strong winds. The aqueous surface of the lagoon almost always has a mirror surface. The bottom of the lagoon is basically sand.
This place is very popular among the kaiter, and no one is engaged in windsurfing here. This place is located within the borders of Samui Orchid Resort. There are usually few people here, and there are practically no tourists. There are still places for kaiter in the district, but they have large reefs, which is dangerous for beginner kaiter. It is best to ride in this area in January-month, as November and December is characterized by rainy weather, despite the fact that 200 kilometers from this place, in Chumphon, during this period is dry and sunny.

Chumphon is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand. In this area, excellent seats for classes like kaitsurfing so windsurfing. This area is located between Cha Am and Hua Hin in the northern part and SUT THANI in the south. On the approach, the opening of the local airport is already the opening of the local airport, but the distance is not particularly large, which allows you to get rid of unnecessary flights.
Accelerate the trip to this area allows the use of an airplane while moving to the town of SURAT THANI. Flight takes only about 30 minutes. The route taxi in Chumphon is moving from the city almost every hour, and the road takes up to the final item about 2-3 hours.

It is necessary to emphasize the excellent transport links between resort areas of the country. In Chumphon, you can get, using any of the types of transport, does not matter much importance, in which of the Thailand areas you will be, for example, from the capital of the state the road takes about seven and a half hours.

In case you start moving from Bangkok, you will have to buy a ticket and take a bus on Southern Bus Station. The bus departure time is as follows: 9-00, 11-00, 14-00 and 21.30. A large number of carriers start their routes on one of the famous streets of Bangkok called Khao San Road. Any carriers will deliver you to Chumphon. The port of this city represents the perfect place to send for those tourists who plan to continue their journey. Here you can buy tickets both on the ferries that run to the islands and at the speed boats in the same directions.

Chumphon is a sandy spot, designed for confident in their forces of riders. Winds in the area are blowing medium power. This area for skiing is most suitable in November-December. In the south of this area, it is rained at this time, and in this area dry, sunny and cool. Usually the wind appears in the morning and after lunch, and in the evening you can enjoy the resort life of the city.

The residence of Thai monarchs, a magnificent park and complex of structures in the traditional Thai style. Remember the huge number of temples, each of which is notable for a peculiar sculpture of the Buddha. In this country, with such a diligence they chase their God, which can be made a separate tour, looking at the gold, emerald, sitting, lying buddhas. And the amazing Thai shows is another side of the original state. Of course, we also looked all this. And what about otherwise, because the first time in Thailand. And only after that betrayed the entertainment on the water. As it turned out, in Thailand only two kite stations - one is located on the most popular resort, Pattaya, and the other on Koh Phangan island, which is a little north of Koh Samui (Koh Samui). Since we were in Pattaya, I decided to start it from here. This is a big lively resort, but we found a kite station quickly. If you go through Sukhumvit Road from Bangkok, then you need to turn right, to the coast, on Soi Najomten (Street between SHELL refueling and the Ambasador Hotel). On it, right by the sea, in the house 14 there is a water sports center "Blue Laguna", part of which is occupied by a kite station. So, we are in place. My friends already have a certificate that allows them to disseminate the waves without any problems, but I have to take the lessons at your local school.

Kitesurfing (from English. Kite - Air Snakes and Surfing - Surfing, "Skating on the Wave") or Kaiting is a sport, the basis of which is the movement under the action of the force of the thrust developed by the holding and managed athlete with an air serpent (kite).

If you are the same "kettle", like me, then my experience will help you. First of all, deal with the equipment and equipment. Kites are very different, but for the beginning there is a simple paper, and the board should provide good adhesion with water. Learning more productive not in the group, but one on one with a coach. Especially at the initial stage of Kitesurfing is associated with great risk, therefore it is not necessary to engage in the tutorial. You can get confused in the slings, and then they also seriously cut down, or even earn fractures. It is for this that you need to go out into the sea in a rescue vest, in a helmet and a leash of security.

After exercises on land, you need to choose a place for workouts on the water. I didn't have to suffer with this, because the "blue lagoon" is the most successful location on the east coast of Thailand. Weather in Pattaya established excellent: a calm sea, and the wind blew in parallel to the shore at a speed not higher than 7 m / s. The start was the most difficult test while somehow got into the water, I had to pretty face pretty. But when I managed to catch the wind and I slid along the water stroit, my delight was not the limit. I was so fascinated that I did not want to interrupt a wonderful flight. Do not hear the coach warning screams, after a few minutes it turned out to be at a decent distance from the start, and I have not cleaned time along the water against the wind, I haven't been able to turn back on foot, I had to turn my whole ammunization. Subsequently, I was already smarter and the marathon distances did not hurt.

Kites are very different, but for the beginning there is a simple paper, and the board should provide good adhesion with water.
I rode left and right galks, learned to turn kite, made a few first jumps with the snake and fell in love with this sport
i spent a bunch of time and money to learn how to ride. I went fine only after the second trip to the sea. And some Sikuha here he writes that she is already turning, and jumps, and in general, Ahinea carries about a paper kite. Better used about the season I wrote when it blows when not

In the low season, the best time to teach Kaitsurfing on Phuket, we see quite a lot of rains from half an hour to several hours, and sometimes even tropical storms, at this time of the year almost always very good skating as much wind, and rain rather happy and refreshes than delivers inconvenience at this time of year. In the high season, the sky becomes blue, and the ocean is flat from the heat, the winds are much less, which is not very good for kite surfing, in the sun is unbearable to stay for a long time, constantly dreaming about the rain, especially this is obvious from February to April, after the Chinese New Year, two The hottest months a year, at this time the worst riding, irregular, mostly early in the morning and in the evening, and sometimes there is not enough wind, so if the goal of the trip ride, choose another time for kaitsurfing on Phuket.
