Thailand Info

Beautiful, diverse and unique, Thailand is a country that can suit just about everyone. It is a land of many contrasts, and whatever it is that you are looking for you will almost certainly find it here. Compare the frenetic, fun and modern Bangkok with its shopping, discos and bars to the luscious vegetation of the jungles and mountains of the North. You can find exquisite, secluded islands with sandy beaches and crystal clear water, holiday resorts packed with pleasure seekers, rural retreats near awe-inspiring Buddhist temples and authentic and timeless Thai villages. One thing that binds all of these aspects of Thailand together is the wonderfully warm hospitality and friendly attitude of its people, which makes Thailand a must-see destination. Fascinating and exciting, a visit to Thailand will be remembered for a lifetime.

Historically, Thailand was an important strategic point on both Eastern and Western trading routes. It is proud to be one of the only countries in Southeast Asia which resisted colonisation, although its long association with external influences is reflected in its diverse culture, cuisine and the attitudes of its people. It has more recently become a favourite destination for holiday makers, who are drawn to its friendliness, tropical weather, idyllic beaches, and laid back atmosphere. With affordable transport- from planes to taxis- it is also easy to explore much of the country, and with its outstanding beauty and charm this is something you will want to take advantage of.

So whatever your reasons for visiting Thailand- whether you are after relaxation, action-packed activities, somewhere off the beaten track or a fun-filled beach resort to let your hair down, Thailand can offer it all. Just try to fit it all in!
