Thailand

What do luxurious resorts, secluded beaches, elephant treks, a 5-star tent hotel, a floating market and the remains of an ancient city all have in common? They can all be found in Thailand. Add to this authentic Thai cuisine, the famous bargain markets and some of the friendliest people in the world (Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles), it would be difficult to find a reason not to visit this magnificent country. Some of Thailand's highlights include the southern Islands of Phuket, Phi Phi and Krabi, the famous Floating Market, the ancient capital city of Ayutthaya, Bangkok's markets, and the beautiful, historic city of Chiang Mai.
