Thailand is often called the land of smiles and rightly so. The people will make an impression on you with their gentleness and polite, respectful approach. Perhaps this involves the major religion here, Buddhism which is all pervasive. However, besides the people, the visitor can enjoy a wide variety of experiences.
It might be helpful to consider Thailand as having 3 distinctly different areas of interest, namely Bangkok, Northern Thailand and the Southern beaches.
Bangkok, the Thai capital since 1782, is a national treasure with its Buddhist temples, palaces, floating markets on small canals, legendary nightlife and abundant shopping opportunities. It offers visitors the opportunity to experience fascinating glimpses of Thailand’s gentle culture amid the bustle of a great and diverse metropolis. This dynamic city has successfully combined the ancient and modern worlds.
