Asia Travelers    
 

Thailand an interesting and memorable country to visit in South East Asia. Unspoilt beaches with turquoise seas and pure, white sands to bustling cities sporting exotic markets and a vibrant, colorful nightlife, it is easy to see why Thailand has become one of the most popular tourist destinations for the adventurous and young at heart. Travel in Thailand is easy due to a good network of trains, busses and airplanes. Most visitors enter the country via the Southeast Asian travel hub Bangkok , the City of Angels. From there you can do great daytrips to cities like the former capital Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi , known for the River Kwai bridge.

From there most visitors head either north or south. In the north you can visit the interesting cities of Sukhothai , Chiang mai , Chiang Rai or Mae Hong Son . The north is known for its fantastic trekking possibilities, the interesting hill tribes, and its gentle Lanna culture. In the south the traveler can relax at some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, for example, Koh Tao , Krabi , Koh Samui or Phuket or Trang. Some areas are very touristy, but it is easy to find some quiet spots. A little closer to Bangkok there is the resort town of Hua Hin which is home to one of the most used Palaces.

The Northeast is popular with independent travelers. Known by Thais as Isaan this area hosts some lovely forested mountains and national parks and very friendly people. The major highlight is probably the famous Khao yai national park , but other interesting places are easily found in this area including Nong khai and Surin.

People with a limited time budget might go to the East Coast. There are many popular resorts, including Pattaya . The region is rich in natural resources, including rubber, rice, fishing, orchards and gemstones, and scenically arresting with several national parks containing waterfalls, virgin forest and uninhabited, remote islands. Popular islands locations are Koh chang and Ko Samet.
