Bangkok is one of the attention grabbing cities of Thailand. Each year, the country earns a great income through tourism. Unfortunately, the living style of common people is depressing. In order to make a tour friendly, it is better to show great concern for the land as well as the people. Here are some ways which can help the local people in getting a reasonable income:

Booking the Apartments or Family Homes:

Usually, people use online service and find out the most luxurious hotel for booking. It is a good job as you know where to stay before visiting the Thailand; however this trend gives favor to a specific community. Definitely, the five star hotels are being owned by the wealthiest people. It is awe-inspiring if the tourists get the apartment or a portion of house on rent. In this way, the local people will get stable.

Go for Local Food Stalls:

There are many food malls where the delicious items are mouth-watering. The only difference in these stalls and five star hotels is in the way of presentation and environment. Check the eating tour at local floating market.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3348″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Bangkok street food – Koa Keang – rice and meal shop” img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3347″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Grill fish cake at baannamphung market” img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]
