country and culture

Thailand is a trip through sensual paradise. Your travel agent will never be able to exaggerate the wonders and beauty of this southeastern Asian country—you will inevitably be astounded. Among the easiest travel destinations of its Asian counterparts, Thailand is filled with aesthetic charms from the heaven-on-earth beaches, to the glittering golden chedis, to the prowling tigers in dense tropical jungles. Explore the ancient cities of Central Thailand, where the ruins of  ancient kingdoms now lie in silent majesty, testament to a glorious past. Dive into the world’s bluest waters searching for a different kind of wildlife than the backpackers you encounter on shore. Meditate amid saffron-cloaked Buddhist monks in temples adorned with mother-of-pearl inlay and frescoes older than the Magna Carta. Throughout Thailand, mouth-watering cuisine will be your sustenance, delightfully warm people will be your companions, and a smile will be your currency. After all, they don't call it “Amazing Thailand” for nothing.
