Welcome to Thailand !
Thailand is often dubbed "The Most Exotic in Asia"---and with good reason. It offers a distinct culture with a rich and varied heritage and it possesses a remarkable range of scenic beauty. The Thai peoples, with their charm and openness, revere their heritage while delighting in the modern. From Bangkok --"City of Angels" -- to Chiang Mai -- the ancient northern capital -- to the luxurious southern islands, and with lush forests and exotic temples, Thailand offers a visual experience that is not to be rivalled.
