Thailand means "the land of the free" lies in the
heart of Southeast Asia. It is one of the most
beautiful places in the world and one can only
experience the exotic beauty of the place when you

you walk on the beach, the mouth watering dishes
and the rush and madness in the market is
something you will perhaps not get to see anywhere
else.
Thailand's geographical region is divided into
four parts:
The mountains and forests are in the north. You
can find fascinating handicrafts and multicolored
orchids.
The central part where you will find paddy
field, farms and all kinds of fruits. The
northeast plateau is famous for its rich
archaeological and anthropological heritage. You
will find tropical islands in the southern
peninsula. The people on this place are involved
in fishing, rubber cultivation and tin mining.

hospitable. This place is rich in monumental
heritage and famous for its beaches. Thailand is

who are looking for a romantic holiday, to
shoppers to the food lovers as you get to taste
varieties of sea food, down in the street to the
most expensive restaurants. It offers something to
every traveler.

holiday. As this place offer all kinds of sport
for all ages like scuba diving, snorkeling,
wind-surfing and water-skiing .After all these

good company.
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand.Bankok means
"city of angels", it is a small Thailand in
itself. It is the centre of commercial, industrial
and cultural activities. If you are looking for
peace and simplicity you can visit the Buddhist
temples and the amazing part is it stands by side
by side with nightclubs and cafés. You can see
monks walking in their red robes all over the
place and one can only wonder how they can attain
such peacefulness in this rush and hectic world.
Another main attraction in Thailand is Phuket

is lively with its multicuisine restaurants and
bars always filled with tourists. But of course if

going to the right place.
Chiang Mai is another place which is a
combination of modern city life and the old
village charm. There are elaborate temples and
cultural relics some of which are very old close
to 700 years. On the top of the mountain is Doi
Suthep monastery which overlooks the fertile
valley embracing Chiang Mai.The local night bazaar
is the favorite shopping place for tourists where
you can get hand made local stuff, tribal wears
and also latest modern junks for a good bargain.
You will have no problem communicating as most
of the hotels, restaurants and tourist places
speak English and other European languages. There
are various modes of transportation. You can
either hire a taxi to go around the city, or take
the city bus .There is also something called
Tuk-Tuk, a three wheeler. You would definitely
enjoy the open air ride on this three wheeler and
for longer destinations there are trains always
running to all the places.
