Thailand

A land of many contrasts, Thailand is a beautiful, diverse and unique country and will suit just about everyone. From the frenetic, fun and modern Bangkok with its shopping, discos and bars, to the luscious vegetation of the jungles and mountains of the North, to the idyllic islands with their crystal clear waters, you will almost certainly find what you are looking for in Thailand. Binding together all of these wonderful experiences is the warm hospitality and friendly attitude of the people. 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!
