Welcome
to Thailand!
The Kingdom of Thailand (Muang Thai as it is
called in Thailand) is top of most people's
travel itinerary. Again and again, Thailand
tops the 'favorite destination' list of many
countries. As a result Thailand is a regional
hub for travel and tourism. Why is Thailand
such a popular destination? That's difficult
to say - there are so many possible reasons!
Culture and Accessibility
Thailand is certainly exotic. The culture is
very different than those in western countries
and countries elsewhere in the region. Unlike
some exotic counties, Thailand is accessible.
The country has a fully developed infrastructure,
travel by plane, train, bus and boat is organized
and convenient, and banking and other institutions
are world class. Simply put, Thailand has everything
any western country might offer set in a world
of natural beauty and beguiling customs.
Central Thailand
Probably one of the key reasons for Thailand's
popularity is diversity. Bangkok, the capital
of Thailand, is one of the worlds leading travel
destinations. A world of modern convenience
juxtaposed against ancient tradition, Thailand's
capital offers a world within a world that can
certainly justify a holiday in its own right.
Located in central Thailand, Bangkok is an excellent
base for trips to historical venues like Ayutthaya
and Sukothai, and of course excursions to resort
towns like Pattaya.
