Islands lined with palms overhanging gorgeous
beaches; superb cuisine; a rich cultural heritage; exotic rainforests;
cheap shopping; hundreds of temples and religious artifacts dating back
centuries; ancient villages stowed away in hidden corners of the land -
this is Thailand, one of the greatest travel experiences you are ever
likely to experience.
Thailand (ประเทศไทย) means the Land of Thai or humans and it is an unmissable destination, from the busy capital Bangkok, to the relaxed island of Phuket. Buddhist temples and statues are a-plenty, as Thailand towers above the rest of South East Asia
in sheer volume of historical delights. Perhaps the fact that Thailand
is the only Southeast Asian nation never to have been ruled by a European
power is partly responsible for the wealth of history represented
throughout the country, kept alive through the ages. Whatever the reason
be, nothing can detract from the extraordinary pleasures Thailand
offers its visitors.
