About Thailand - General Facts
Thailand, a country of interesting contradictions
and rich diversity, where just about anything is possible
and likely to happen.
Most visitors are instantly captivated by the famous
Thai smile - Thailand is often referred to as 'The
Land of Smiles' - and the sense of fun that runs through
every situation and even the most mundane task.
Although exotic and mysterious, Thailand is a lot
more accessible than many other Asian countries. There
are many familiar features, such as the 7/11 shops
that grace every corner in cities and large towns
and many people choose to wear western clothing such
as jeans and t-shirts or brightly-coloured shorts.
The role of women is noticeably more equal than in
many other countries, with female family members often
inheriting property and controlling the finances.
Women comprise roughly 50% of the workforce and there
are a large number of female professionals in occupations
such as doctors and dentists.
Thailand draws more visitors each year than any other
country in Southeast Asia, and with its combination
of stunning scenery, rich culture and history it is
easy why many find it difficult to leave. Whether
you want to go trekking in the jungle, climb rocks,
become a dive master, party hard in trendy clubs,
explore the countryside or simply soak up the sun
on a beautiful sandy beach, Thailand is the perfect
destination.
