Mexico or Thailand

Where to go on your next vacation? This question arises among tourists who are not used to sitting still and eager for new experiences! Let's try to figure out whether Mexico or Thailand should be preferred this time.

Mexico

At the mention of this amazing country, associations immediately arise in the head with the ancient Mayan settlements, many of whose secrets have remained unsolved. The anticipation of exploring ancient temples, the walls of which are inscribed with mysterious hieroglyphs, is diluted with new impressions that all guests of local restaurants, visitors to snow-white beaches and numerous surfers will definitely get.

Undoubtedly, this Latin American country is full of surprises. You will not only have to spend your next vacation in the company of turquoise waves and gentle sun, but also diversify it with the help of excursions and other cultural events.

How to get there

You can get to Mexico by plane, and the road from the Russian capital will take no more than 15 hours. In this case, you will have to make a transfer in one of the cities of Europe, or pave the way through the USA or Cuba. There is also good news for our compatriots: you can apply for the necessary visa via the Internet.

When packing things on the road, remember that the country is characterized by a tropical and subtropical climate, and the temperature throughout the year fluctuates between 26-35 degrees Celsius. But if you plan to visit one of the Mayan cities that are located in the mountains, bring warm clothes: the air temperature in these areas drops to 15 degrees Celsius.

Beaches

Another advantage of a holiday in a Latin American country can be considered the presence of snow-white and free beaches. At most, in hotels you will have to pay for a sunbed and an umbrella, the cost of which does not exceed a few dollars. The choice of hotels that can be chosen for every taste is also impressive. But in budget hotels, the staff practically does not speak English, which can be a small problem for tourists from Russia.

Food and drink

When you are in Mexico, be sure to visit one of the local restaurants. The range of dishes can amaze even an experienced gourmet. Chefs actively use goat and cow meat, legumes, corn for their culinary masterpieces and actively season everything with spices. Seafood is also in great demand. But remember, the local cuisine is spicy, and chili peppers are held in high esteem here.

Well, from alcohol you will be offered traditional tequila, which has more than three hundred types. Although you can give preference to good local wines. But for lovers of non-alcoholic drinks, one of the exotic drinks is suitable: hot chocolate “champurado”, a drink made from rice flour “horchata” or special hibiscus tea.

Entertainment and interesting places

The main ways to have fun here are excursions, surfing and diving. First of all, hurry to Teotihuacan, whose name translates as “Birthplace of the Gods.” Scientists still have not been able to find out exactly when the first people began to settle here, and what made the inhabitants leave their homes. The main attraction is the huge pyramids that amaze the imagination of even a modern person.

There is also a monument of world culture. The city of Taxco is under the auspices of UNESCO and still retains its original appearance. There are other sights created by the hands of the amazing Mayan people that should be visited at least in order to appreciate their amazing scale.

When you get tired of going on excursions, go to the coast, where you can “taste” all the delights of local surfing and diving. But remember that the waves here are strong and not everyone will be on the shoulder!

Thailand

How to get there

Thailand has a lot in common with Mexico, but even more different between these amazing countries. In addition to the fabulous coastline, unique historical monuments, and a decent level of service in hotels, the country also boasts reasonable prices. And getting here from Russia is much easier. Several times a week, planes fly to Bangkok, which allows you to make the whole journey without transfers, and the travel time will take only 9.5 hours. Yes, and there will be no problems with a visa, because for Russians it is not needed at all, but on the condition that you have arrived for no more than 30 days.

Climate

The local climate is very similar to that of Mexico. In the hottest months, the air warms up to 42 degrees, and in the rainy seasons and in winter it still does not fall below 18-26 degrees Celsius. Depending on the time of the year for which your vacation falls, you need to choose one or another region of the country.

Beaches and local color

All beaches are free. For those who revere the pristine beauty, the beaches of Phuket will be to your liking, where it is even forbidden to use umbrellas, sun loungers and other beach paraphernalia.

A special item in the program of every guest of Thailand is a visit to souvenir shops and jewelry stores. Here you can always buy original products made of gold and precious stones, although, in pursuit of the price, you can also buy a high-quality fake.

Interesting places

For tourists in Thailand, there is an interesting entertainment program, within which you can visit the sights, plunge into the underwater world of diving or ride a board on the crests of the waves. In this regard, there are practically no differences with Mexico.

The main attractions that attract tourists are: the ancient capital of Siam, the park of history and modernity of Ayutthaya and the ruins of numerous religious buildings.
