Thailand
Thailand is a country in South-East Asia with coasts
on the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. It borders
Myanmar (Burma) to the north-west, Laos to the north-east,
Cambodia to the south-east and Malaysia to the south.
With great food, a tropical climate, fascinating culture
and, hey, great beaches, Thailand is a magnet for travellers
the world over.
Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in South-East
Asia, and for a reason. Exotic, yet safe and largely hassle-free;
cheap, yet equipped with every modern amenity you need,
there is something for every interest and every price bracket,
from beach front backpacker bungalows to some of the best
luxury hotels in the world. And despite the heavy flow of
tourism, Thailand retains its quintessential Thainess, with
a culture and history all its own and a carefree people
famed for their smiles and their fun-seeking sanuk lifestyle.
Thailand's 76 provinces can be conveniently divided into
five geographic and cultural regions.
