There is more historical evidence of past eras in Thailand than in any Southeast Asian country. This is the place to go for ruins, temples and deserted cities. For pure holiday-making magic, visit Thailand's islands and beaches. The huge metropolis of Bangkok charms visitors with its energy and cultural treasures, despite its urban chaos and steamy diesel fumes.

Thailand offers easy travel, with efficient transport, cheap accommodation and a delicious national cuisine. The Thais are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality. They are fun-loving, happy-go-lucky folk but also very strong-minded and have struggled for centuries to preserve their spirit of independence.
