Convention Weather
Generally speaking,the best time to visit Thailand is from November to February when the northeast monsoon is blowing cool, dry air which serves as a respite from the heat. During this cool season, the temperature ranges from 64ºF to 90ºF (18ºC to 32ºC) in Bangkok.

Money
The basic unit of Thai currency is the baht. There are 100 satang in one baht; coins include 25-satang and 50-satang pieces and baht in 1B, 5B and 10B coins. Older coins have Thai numerals only, while newer coins have Thai and Arabic numerals.

Paper currency is issued in the following denominations: 10B (brown), 20B (green), 50B (blue), 100B (red), 500B (purple) and 1000B (beige). 10B bills are being phased out in favour of the 10B coin.

Thailand Welcomes the World!
Bios Life Franchise Owners the world over are invited to attend the 2010 Unicity Global Convention to be held February 4 – 6 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Bangkok, Thailand is the ultimate travel destination! An exciting blend of progressive and tradition, Bangkok has something to offer everyone. Modern Bangkok is a large, bustling city of some eleven million people. The capital of Thailand, it is the administrative center and the heart of the country. It is a city where skyscrapers and modern buildings

jostle for space against the Bangkok skyline. It is also very much a city of entertainment and fun. Above all, Bangkok is a city of extremes.

Despite its modern trappings, Bangkok is firmly embedded in tradition. All aspects of Thai culture are revered here, as they are in any rural or less urban part of the country. Rituals are carried out on a daily basis. Like elsewhere in the country, Monks accept their daily alms and people of all ages pray and make merit at one of countless temples. In Bangkok, you can at one moment be in the 21st century, the next walking through antiquity.

Thailand’s capital has everything the modern traveler enjoys. The city has a wide range of world-class accommodation, from six-star hotels, to moderately priced guesthouses for those on a more limited budget. Click here to find accommodations near the Impact Muang Thong Thani—home of the 2010 Unicity Global Convention.

Bangkok also offers some of the best food on the planet – authentic Thai cuisine alongside the very best dishes from almost every part of the world. Of course, Bangkok’s nightlife is legendary and offers an unparalleled range of entertainment—bars and go-go, shows, concerts, and movies—almost everything you could possibly want is available here.

Bangkok has become one of the most important cities in the region. As with the rest of the country, banking services are efficient and reliable, and telecommunications services are equally good. An international standard telephone network and high-

speed Internet facilities help you keep in touch while attending the Convention. With the introduction of the BTS SkyTrain elevated railway, and the MRT Subway underground railway, alongside development of expressways and elevated toll ways, travelling around Bangkok is now as convenient as travelling in any major city. Bangkok is not just a city to visit briefly on your

way to somewhere else. It is a place so rich in experience you will want to visit it time and time again!
