Spirit Journeys has added an exciting new Thailand vacation package to their lineup of 2011 gay vacations. Participants will enjoy all the benefits of a tropical vacation on this trip, which begins in Bangkok and spends five days touring some highlights of the big city and surrounding areas.

These include the Royal Grand Palace, which is known as the home of the famous Emerald Buddha, as well as Wat Pho, which features a 46 meter reclining Buddha, and the amazing Tha Kha floating markets. The tour moves at a relaxed pace thanks to Spirit Journeys' philosophy that less is more when it comes to Asia travel. There will be plenty of time for tourists to relax and enjoy the sights at their own pace. Howie Holben, the owner of Spirit Journeys, will be the guide on this unique tour.

A Thailand vacation can be a popular option for medical tourists. Makeover Escapes Co specializes in arranging advanced medical tours to Thailand, and has just announced a new partnership with one of Asia's leading hospitality networks. The agreement increases the company's portfolio of properties to over 685 resorts and hotels throughout the country that they can offer to their clients.

This also allows them to lower their rates on medical tours, and it benefits their hotel partners by increasing their occupancy rates year round. That's because the health-care industry, unlike the leisure travel industry, is recession proof and less seasonal. In selecting hotel partners, Makeover Escapes places a premium on client privacy and healing conditions. They recognize that clients want to recuperate in total anonymity and in a peaceful and natural setting.
