The Kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, equidistant between India and China.  It shares borders with Myanmar to the west and north, Laos to the northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south.  Topographically the country is divided into the mountainous North, the fertile Central Plains, the semi-arid plateau of the Northeast, and the peninsula South distinguished by its many beautiful tropical beaches and offshore Islands. 

Thailand's allure is pure Oriental fantasy - a dream world of royal palaces with delicately peaked roofs, glittering temples that pierce the skyline, and serene images of the Buddha radiating peace and divine knowledge. 

Go shopping in Bangkok, relax on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world in Phuket or Pataya in the south, head north to Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai where a cool breeze blows through the hills, or go trekking and discover the world of the hill-tribe people. Or if you enjoy history, visit the former capitals in Ayuthaya and Sukhothai.
