Where to go ? – Bangkok
Over the past ten years or more, the self-styled Land of Smiles has grown from being mainly a backpacker preserve to become one of the countries most popular tourist destinations and businesses of the game. Shambolically from its capital, Bangkok, the epic of white sand in some of the world”s most beautiful beaches, Thailand is able to satisfy different tastes. The difference today is that the elephant walks through the jungle and days spent on palm fringed beaches usually end in a luxury hotel or Spa Resort, rather than a “dollar-a-night” beach hut.

Thailand is a country of ancient traditions, of peaceful temples and modern urban excitement. With and independent history going back more than seven centuries, it has managed to absorb a variety of cultural influences and blend them into something uniquely and memorably Thai. Each of its four major region offers a distinctive experience for the traveler in search of discovery. Misty mountains in the north shelter verdant valleys and exotic hill tribes, while in centers like Chiang Mai traditional customs and crafts have been preserved over generations. Along the picturesque coastlines of the east and south lie some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and off-shore islands, each with its own beauty. Scattered over the northeastern plateau are superb khamer monuments from the time of Angkor Wat and natural parks teeming with wild life.

Thailand best time to visit is from February to March when the weather is kind and the beaches are at their finest.
By far Thailand’s monsoons arrive around July and last into November (the ‘rainy season’). They can be uncomfortably, unpredictably sticky. This is followed by a dry, cool period from November to mid-February, followed by much higher relative temperatures from March to June.
