Why wouldn't someone like to travel to india unless it does not suit ones budget, have time restrains or he is ignorant about facts of Indian history, traditions, culture and others aspects that makes the country so special or else has visa issues provided that one is really looking forward to explore a different art of living all-together.Why would anyone want to travel to a country like India?
I would like to the the opportunity to invest my time and let you know about few facts which you might not be aware of , which made you to ask such a question.
Here are just few( i really mean it JUST few) facts about India that may surprise you :
There is 17 major languages which the government accepts and 844 dialects spoken in India and over 1300 of regional languages. along with that every 200 miles you travel irrespective of the fact which direction you are traveling towards, the food, traditions , culture, dialects, weather, choices and the interest of activities changes.
Vsiting india is like visiting over 15 countries at the same time , unlike other countries wherein most of the things remain unchanged as long as you are in the same country. you will visit country with most diverse culture and society and yet in the same country.
When you talk about india to people who have been there and have spend a long span of time in the country can give you a better idea about what's so special about it.
India was one of the richest countries on earth until the British invasion in the early 17th century.
Every major world religion is represented in India. Additionally, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism all originated in India and you can still see signs of their orientation as well as the tradition , culture , eating habits and the the attire they wear depending upon their traditions.
India is 7th largest country in the world AND one of the most ancient and living civilizations (at least 10, 000 years old).
India is the world’s largest, oldest, continuous civilisation.
India never invaded any country in her last 10,000 years of history.
india is 2nd largest English speaking nation in the world, making it easier for tourists to travel.
GM of Hewlett Packard, Chief Executives of CitiBank, Mckinsey & Stanchart, founder and creator of Hotmail, creator of Pentium chip are all Indians.
few accomplishments
India has the second largest pool of Scientists and Engineers in the World
Indians abroad
* 38% of Doctors in America are Indians.
* 12% of Scientists in America are Indians.
* 36% of NASA employees are Indians.
* 34% of Microsoft employees are Indians.
* 28% of IBM employees are Indians.
* 17% of Intel employees are Indians.
* 13% of Xerox employees are Indians.
India is the largest democracy in the world.
The number of births that occur in India each year is more than the whole population of Australia.
India has the most number of mosques. It has 300,000 mosques which is much more than the Muslim world , though the majority is Hindu community.
Indians hold prominent places both internationally and in the United States. For example, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems (Vinod Khosla), the creator of the Pentium chip (Vinod Dahm), the founder/creator of Hotmail (Sabeer Bhatia), and the GM of Hewlett-Packard (Rajiv Gupta) are all Indian
It's a place worth visiting with many special facts which you may not be able to find in rest of the world especially when you will get 57 inr for 1 dollars which definitely makes traveling more inexpensive as india rupee fell drastically which makes this time the best time to travel.
Hope the information provided above answers your question.

hi , I am indian staying in tablet, can totally understand your confusion, it's VHS office that handles application if you require visa prior to travelling to india, however you can also opt for visa on arrival facility if your stay in india is not over 60 days and you can always extent it from frro office.
The government has put in motion a series of measures that will drastically liberalize the visa regime in the country and ensure a significant boost in foreign tourist arrivals. Not only has the government extended the facility of visa on arrival for individuals from four to nine airports in the country but also given its nod for VoA option for a group of foreign tourists (four or more) using air or sea ports to enter the country.
The group VoA facility has been extended to all countries excluding Afghanistan, China, Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Pakistan and foreigners of Pakistani origin.
In effect from April 1, the measures mean that a family of four, or a group coming from any part of the world except for the countries on the negative list, can use the VoA facility.
Individual VoA was earlier accepted in airports at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata which has now been extended to Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kochi, Trivandrum and Goa.
According to a notification issued by the ministry of home affairs, foreign tourists in groups of four or more, arriving by air or sea, sponsored by Indian travel agencies approved by the tourism ministry will be granted a collective landing permit for a 60-day period with multiple-entry facility. The tourists will have to submit their personal details, itinerary and apply for visa online. The travel agency will have to submit a complete list of group members to the FRRO, 72 hours in advance. The travel agency will also have to take responsibility for the group.

Hi all forum members, I would like to seek your advice regarding a wholesale and retail shop that I am planning to open up shortly, currently I import Indian handicrafts like statues of brass and marble material from india to Thailand. I have few buyers who purchase material in bulk and now I would like to open up my own shop where I don't face much problems in commencing my business. my items are not highly priced and I directly get products manufactured in india and get it to Thailand via sea or air cargo. so I would like to know the best location for opening up an 20 x 20 shop or even bigger and my potential buyers are local Thai people, I am not eyeing tourist. I am attaching few pics . suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Absolute cheapest would be Bitcoin, but more complicated than most want to deal with.
Via traditional means, Bank transfer via SWIFT. You probably just need his bank's SWIFT code, his name as listed on the account and the account number. Some banks (used to) require destination bank branch address and phone number?
Coming the other way usually costs between $15 and 30 USD, flat fee not a percentage. Not sure about going the other way, but bound to be less than Western Union or Paypal.
I will check with them for the same. thanks for your assistance.

I will strongly recommend you to visit and decide as there is no scarcity of vacant apartments. 15000 budget is pretty decent for 2 rooms condo, u will have 2 sign up contract for 6 months to an year depending on the requirements. finding a nice condo isn't a difficult task at all. good luck

. so what I understand from the info that I've been able to gather so far is that only 10 percent of them , I mean the actual lessors run their own shop apart from them everyone have re rented it at a much higher price. honestly what the sort is demanding is not more than 4000 baht and I would like some one to assist me to get a shop for twice the price, I'm willing to pay 8000 baht but I know won't find a place 8 * 8 in that figure, it's all about earning money, they just don't want to give a share of the extra income earned to srt,"the rent that was demanded by the shop owners/ leasers was ranging between 13000 to 27000 the per month." hmm My guess is that some vested interests rent the shops for that low ball figure, with no intention of opening a shop, then sublease at those much greater prices. How about raising the rents, but REQUIRING those who rent the spaces actually have a shop there? Fat chance that is going to happen. Net effect would be actual vendors paying less, cutting our speculators, RR getting more pay. Everybody happy except the sub leasors who no doubt have good connections....so it won't happen.

. who ever invented that saying copied it from Indian origin person . get real dude , no hard feelings against any national. Indians have done pretty well in all domains, the least u can do is 2 keep urself quiet rather than disgracing othersThere's an old - an unpleasant - Thai saying: "If you meet a snake and an Indian, kill the Indian first".

hi all, this thread gave me pretty good info about the actual problem of chtuchak vendors. I would like to get some clarification for group members, few months back I went to the weekend market to rent a shop but the rent that was demanded by the shop owners/ leasers was ranging between 13000 to 27000 the per month. I fail to understand how can one get a shop in that market as such a low rate . is there a different channel or approach that one needs to follow in order to get shop at such a rate? I import cosmetics and Indian handicrafts to Thailand, currently I am in wholesale but was planning to open up an retail counter. I woul appreciate your advice. thanks , Vivek

all I meant to say that india has one of the best blend of seasons and cultures which makes it a perfect destination for travellers . I understand there are have been bad incidents in past, however if you look at the masses they have always been a good host when it comes to welcome people from rest of the world.
