Fondly known as 'the land of smiles', Thailand is commonly associated with gorgeous golden sand, palm-lined beaches, warm aquamarine waters, glorious temples and verdant jungle-clad mountains.

With sixteen million foreigners flying into the country each year, Thailand is the primary travel hub of Southeast Asia, offering a diverse range attractions and activities to suit all tastes and budgets.

Whether exploring the teeming metropolis of Bangkok, relaxing on the tropical beaches of the southern islands, scuba diving in the underwater wonderland off the coast of Koh Tao, jungle trekking in the North, or discovering the ancient cities of Chiang Mai, Thailand is filled with attractions to satisfy any interest.

Thailand has so many great boutique-style hotels and resorts to choose from, whether it's urban retreats in Bangkok, atmospheric boutique hotels in Chiang Mai or romantic beach escapes in the south.

For those looking to explore Thailand, combine the bustle of Bangkok, the culture of Chiang Mai, the beauty of Khao Sok National Park with some time to relax by one of Thailand's beautiful beaches.
