Thailand

Friendly and fun-loving, exotic and tropical, cultured and historic, Thailand radiates a golden hue from its many glittering temples and tropical beaches to the ever-comforting world famous Thai smile.

Thailand's cultural richness has been influenced by the Indian, Chinese, Cambodian and the rest of Southeast Asia’s cultures. Being the only country in the region never being dominated by Europeans, Thailand has maintained a sense of individuality since the 14th century being ruled by the Kingdom of Siam until 1939 when its name was changed to the current name of Thailand.

Located in the heart of the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia, Thailand is a country of contrasts, from its metropolis capital city of Bangkok, filled with gilded temples and elegant palaces to streets filled with spicy scents . Thailand is surrounded by two coastlines, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand featuring postcard-perfect beaches. In the mountainous interior, hill tribes live as they have for thousands of years. Whether you are on a trekking in the northern hills, or exploring Ayutthaya’s splendid ruins, or diving in the waters of the idyllic southern coast, you will always encounter the generosity, warmth, and relaxed spirit of Thai culture.
