Where is the best place to relax in Thailand or the Dominican Republic. Family fun is better in Bali

The question is, of course, ambiguous, since this is the same as comparing what kind of ice cream to eat, because any of its types is delicious. Only everyone has their own priorities for the choice of taste, price and form. The same thing is with the choice of resorts. Of course, it is worth comparing them at the beginning and highlighting all the pros and cons, and then you yourself will answer the question.

In the Dominican Republic, the sand is snow-white, but in Thailand everything is yellow in the color of the sand. That in Thailand, that in the Dominican Republic, the water is approximately the same transparency and color. Rest in the Dominican Republic is practically concentrated around the hotel, but you can buy excursions, for example, to caves or to other islands. In Thailand, on the contrary, few people are attached to the hotel, many prefer walking around the island and visiting various places. A trip to the Dominican Republic is above all great beaches, they are chosen by many couples to get married, swim in transparent water, that is, the rest is more passive. But, in Thailand, tourists prefer to walk and travel a lot. The beaches are beautiful here and there. And at the same time, these two countries have a very high level of crime and corruption, and drug trafficking is also widespread. In the Dominican Republic, people are more friendly and this is not only my opinion, but also the opinion of many who have visited these two beautiful countries, moreover, in recent years, the cost of rest in Thailand has almost doubled. As for service and maintenance, in the Dominican Republic it is much higher than in Thailand. In Thailand, you can adapt to time faster, since the time difference with Moscow is four hours, and with the Dominican Republic - twelve. Both countries have a high prevalence of HIV infection and AIDS, as well as other types of sexually transmitted diseases. This is due to the flourishing of sex tourism and unprotected sex. Night life it is stormy in two countries, that there, that there are many bars and clubs. But here the question is still in the price, nevertheless a trip to the Dominican Republic will cost more than if you go to Thailand. These are completely two different countries, they are of course similar in climate, but the cultures are different.

In general, if you like beach holiday, very high quality then - Dominican Republic. If you are a lover of educational tourism, active rest then visit Thailand. The area of ​​the country is saturated with the spirit of antiquity. There are a large number of places to visit, but the Dominican Republic loses here, although the excursion industry is developed there too. But the main historical sites of the country are mainly concentrated in its capital - Santa Domingo. And if you like to look not historical objects, but natural ones, then the mountains and the sea coast can be seen in both countries.

Both in the Dominican Republic and in Thailand there is where to have fun, sunbathe and culturally enrichment. At the same time, rest in both countries will cost about the same amount. Therefore, the time has come to clarify the nuances.

Distance

The conditions of entry in both cases are the same, and the only difference is that you will have to fly to the Dominican Republic for three and a half hours longer.

Weather

Winter in both countries is almost the same, but in Thailand the most comfortable season can be called the period from November to February, and in the Dominican Republic - from October to April. In the case of the Dominican Republic, it should be borne in mind that the country is divided by eleven climatic zones, so before you go, you should clarify this nuance.

Beaches

In the Dominican Republic, they accurately reflect colorful photographs from travel guides, and sometimes look like a paradise coastline with rows of coconut trees around white sand... Hotels are often real small towns, in which, in addition to their own beaches, there are also shops, swimming pools, restaurants and even parks. Formally, they are considered five-star, but in reality they show solid differences.

Cheap housing in the Dominican Republic is difficult. In Thailand, the choice of housing is much easier and anyone can find a room to their liking. The beaches are also very different, which differ from each other both in quality and in purpose: some are good for sunbathing and swimming, while others are good for watching turtles, diving, etc.

sights

Going to the Dominican Republic, you should definitely see the capital of the country, which is also the oldest city in the Americas. Here you can see many old mansions and places of worship, and walk through countless museums.

You should definitely try the local traditional rum and watch the migrations of humpback whales. Those who are friendly with the water can take scuba gear and explore the sunken ships lying under the water. The conditions for surfing are also good. Admirers of the latter, as well as kiteboarding and windsurfing, should also visit Cabarete.

In the case of Thailand, the number of attractions is so high that you can see them for a year in a row and everything will be few. Suffice it to say that in Chiang Mai alone there are about 300 ancient picturesque Buddhist monasteries! Add to this erotic neighborhoods, jungle, exotic cuisine, massage parlors and it becomes clear that Thailand is confidently bypassing the Dominican Republic in terms of the number of attractions.

Dominican Republic and Thailand are two famous tropical countries with coconut trees and beautiful beaches. Which is better: the Dominican Republic or Thailand? Any of these countries have their fans. But we will still try to briefly outline the main differences between the Dominican Republic and Thailand.

Weather
Despite the fact that the Dominican Republic and Thailand have warm weather all year round, the climate in these countries is markedly different. Similar weather is observed here in late spring and early autumn, while the rest of the year the weather in the Dominican Republic and Thailand is different. For example, in the period from December to March in the Dominican Republic, the weather is dry and warm. It is also dry in Thailand at this time, but the air temperature here is noticeably higher (by about 4-6 degrees). The rainy season is observed in Thailand from May to October. Although in the Dominican Republic at this time the amount of precipitation also noticeably increases, there is still not as much of it as in Thailand.

Tour prices
Tours to Thailand are much cheaper than tours to the Dominican Republic. But do not forget that in the Dominican Republic, almost all hotels offer an all-inclusive catering concept. So if you are an eater, then it will be more profitable for you to go to the Dominican Republic. In addition, in Dominican hotels you can find a lot of entertainment, while in cheap hotels in Thailand, in fact, there is nothing, and you have to look for entertainment outside the hotels. So the cost of a vacation in the Dominican Republic may not seem so high in the end, considering how much you will spend on vacation in Thailand.
But the above situation is true for Moscow and cities in the European part of Russia. For residents of Siberia and Of the Far East Thailand is a much more budget-friendly holiday destination than the Dominican Republic.

Hotels
In the Dominican Republic, you will mainly find large resort hotels all inclusive, located on the beach Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean... In Thailand, hotels are not always on the first line and very rarely have an all-inclusive catering concept. As a rule, most tourists choose hotels for breakfast, in which they appear only occasionally. So holidays in the Dominican Republic and Thailand are very different in their style.

Beaches
Thailand has many beautiful beaches with clear turquoise water, but many tourists go to Pattaya, which, to put it mildly, does not shine with its beaches. Therefore, tourists have to spend time on a trip to more or less normal beaches. However, Phuket, Koh Samui, Ko Chang and other regions of Thailand have beautiful beaches, which in terms of beauty are not inferior to the beaches of the Dominican Republic.

Excursions
Thailand offers a huge selection of excursions, so the Dominican Republic is not even close to Thailand in this regard. It is important to simply unknowingly not go to some remote place, such as the island of Koh Chang, where the choice of excursions is very limited.

Outcome
Holidays in Thailand and the Dominican Republic are very different. If you want to relax on the territory of a large hotel with own beach and the all-inclusive food system, then the Dominican Republic is for you. But if you want to walk around interesting places, relax on different beaches, go on excursions, then you should choose Thailand.

In the section on the question Dominican Republic or Thailand Where to jerk? given by the author Bloodsucking the best answer is B Dominican Republic! I have been there more than once and I will say that I really like it! The service there is at a very good level. I have never been vaccinated there (This is necessary in Haiti) Thailand, this Central Asia is dirty and in general there is no order there. perhaps it will certainly be more expensive than in Thailand. Well, believe me, it's worth it. I advise you to choose a hotel in Bavaro, where there is a super-duper place, Casa de Campo, where Kournikov and Iglesias played their wedding. And by the way, if you are lucky, you can meet Hollywood stars there. I saw Vin Diesel and Colleen Farrell. Good luck to you!

I have been to the Dominican Republic twice. I liked Punta Cana. In Puerto Plata, no. I won't go there anymore. Better to Cuba.

Dominican Republic !!

Answer from take leave[guru]
Firstly, the difference in price is twice as expensive in the Dominican Republic. Fly from Moscow 13 hours. It's cheaper to get to Thailand and the flight is 8 hours. If you fly in winter, both air and water are warmer in Thailand. And it's more fun if you take the Bangkok-Pattaya tour. If Phuket is something like the Dominican Republic. Basically, nature and the sea, there is not a lot of entertainment. Secondly, there are more fruits in Thailand and they are tastier than in the Dominican Republic. We personally flew once to the Dominican Republic and Cuba, and to Thailand 5 times. We like it very much there. Thirdly, if you are planning to fly to the Dominican Republic, then my advice is to consider the option with Cuba. Much more interesting, you feel freer there. And in terms of the sea, the level of hotels and service - the same. And look at Havana - a super-city.

Greetings, dear reader! In the review I will share my knowledge and impressions, Dominican Republic and Thailand, comparison two countries. Through my eyes you will see what a vacation in these two countries can be like. It makes sense to convince you which is better, Dominican RepublicorThailand, I don’t, I don’t sell anything, but on the contrary I donate my experience.

In general, for me the question of where to go to rest is always very difficult, it takes a long time to resolve. This is about the same as choosing milk in the store. I can stand at the counter for 10 minutes, take each bottle in my hand, look at the expiration dates, where this milk is produced, this is the case with all the products that fall into the basket of my family. What can we say about the vacation! 2-3 months before booking, I begin the difficult process of choosing where to go. " Dominican Republic or Thailand, where is better? "- I thought in July 2016. We were already in Thailand at that time. In principle, my husband and I have toured most popular places, and still did not reach the Dominican Republic.

When choosing, Dominican Republic or Thailand, then I was guided only by the fact that we had already flown to Thailand, and which Dominican Republic we had no idea. I really love to travel the world, see how people live, learn an unfamiliar culture, and just change the usual Moscow pictures for new, unknown, so sunny! Since my foot was stepping on the Thai land, and my little legs had not yet walked on the Dominican, it was decided to fly to the Dominican Republic.

A year has passed since then, we have already had time to rest in other places. I like to write when emotions have already subsided a little, will be placed on the shelves inside me.

The main differences in recreation

Thailand I associate with the place where you are constantly on the move. Every day spent there is not like the previous one. In the Dominican Republic, the days are more measured.

Dominican Republic is 100% all inclusive, you were brought from the airport to the hotel, then on the appointed day you were taken from the hotel to the airport. In Thailand, tourists mostly take breakfast in hotels, and have lunch and dinner in a cafe outside the hotel.

In Thailand, you can find tons of tourists on the streets - they are everywhere! There you can say it is customary to travel around the neighborhood, to inspect temples, natural attractions, various factories, shopping centers... Most tourists have no idea what the Dominican Republic is. Someone gets out on an excursion, for example, to the island of Saona. But in practice, neither we nor many of our friends left the hotel territory for the entire vacation. In general, I have always heard that, they say, "Dominican Republic, oh, just lie there on the beach, there is absolutely nothing to do, rest for pensioners ..." and other sadness. My husband and I are not timid, so to speak - lying on the beach is not at all about us, but drive, fun, sports, excursions are just what you need. Once in the Dominican Republic, I did not think that I would like it there so much! There is one caveat - you must have a hotel with an unreal entertainment program and a bunch of interesting things. We had such an animation that in the afternoon and in the evening, so we didn't even have a thought to go somewhere in 11 days. More precisely, there were thoughts, but it never came to the point.

Nature and attractions, entertainment

Dominican Republic or Thailand what to choose in terms of natural beauty? It is unfair and wrong to say that somewhere is more beautiful. Thailand is more diverse, since the area of ​​the state itself is many times ahead of Dominican Republic... Thailand has many more cultural and natural attractions, many different temples, islands, national parks.

In terms of entertainment and show programs, Thailand is again in first place. But all the amusements are scattered in different places. In the Dominican Republic, as I wrote above, it will also not be boring if you have good hotel... For example, in our hotel Iberostar during the day there were various free entertainments:

• Step with a charming bitter chocolate Dominican,
• Beach volleyball
• Water aerobics
• Table tennis
• Good Fitness Center
• Evening shows (they sang, then danced, then magic tricks, then acrobats, then the circus du Soleil, every day something new)
• Casinos, machines
• Discos, foam parties and much more.

Beaches, sea, waves

I liked the beaches there and there! But in terms of water color and sand quality, the Dominican Republic is the undisputed leader here! I generally pass out from the Caribbean. Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic - this is my passion! The water there is of such a special color that neither the Maldives nor the Seychelles dreamed of. If you travel in high season, the water will be clear everywhere, and there will be no strong waves on the sea.

Thailand has very beautiful beaches in Krabi, large islands Tachai, Phi Phi, Similan Islands.

Other differences

So, Dominican Republic orThailand? In the Dominican Republic, everything is more civilized. The risk of catching any intestinal infections is minimal, which cannot be said about Thailand. Still, Thailand is a typical Asian country with its own delights and disadvantages.

The average flight time to the Dominican Republic from Moscow is about 11.5 hours, to Thailand - about 9.5 hours. For me, the difference is insignificant. When you fly for more than 5-6 hours, it is not important to go further.

Dominican Republic or Thailand with a child, the first is better, but if you eat only at the hotel, then you can also Thailand. Then decide for yourself, but after a couple of indigestions in Thailand, I would not let the child go to their food, which is prepared in most places on my knee.

Someone says that after Thailand, the Dominican Republic is very boring. Well, I don’t know, I don’t agree with this opinion. We first rested in Phuket, the next time - Samui, after that there was Punta Cana, and we blissed out! Again, a lot depends on the hotel you choose. Honestly, if you want to go to the Dominican Republic, but don't want a good hotel on a budget, you'd better go to Thailand. In a hotel in the Dominican Republic, without animation, you may really go crazy with boredom. But if you are an adherent of lying on the beach from morning to evening, and the lack of a large selection of food does not bother you (a kind of detox program on one rice and chicken), then feel free to move to Punta Cana or Boca Chica, Puerto Plata (prices will be there more affordable, you can choose best hotel for the same money as in Punta Cana).

I hope my article will help you, Dominican Republic or Thailand, what to choose! May there always be a place in your life for adventures, travel, the ocean!
