Lets Explore Thailand

Thailand is mosaic of green mountains, ancient temples, golden Buddha's, massage parlors, historical sites, 1000s jungle topped islands, pearl white beaches, delicious food, rooftop lounges and smiling people. And it is relatively easy to travel in Thailand with domestic flights from Chiang Mai to Koh Samui or from Bangkok to Phuket. Not to mention a railway network that stretches from North to South and from East to West. Not surprisingly that Thailand is a popular destination for holidays. But despite its popularity, it’s still easy to travel beyond the highlights of Thailand.

Thailand has 5 regions but most people go to Central Thailand with Bangkok and Kanchanaburi, North Thailand with Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, Eastern Thailand with Pattaya and Koh Chang and finally South Thailand with beaches at Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Phuket, Khao Lak and Krabi. And yet even within the popular destinations you will still find tranquil hotels, stunning beaches, genuine Thai hospitality and the famous Thai smile.
