Thailand
"The land of smiles" truly is a unique place. No where else
can a traveler experience such a diverse feast of cultural pleasures and
still enjoy the familiar luxuries of their own native lands.
Metropolitan
cities such as Bangkok offer everything for all aspects of life
whether it be overlooking the Chao Praya river from the world class Oriental
Hotel having "high tea" to marveling at any one of the ancient temples
in and around the city
Away from the cities the rural landscape transitions from grasslands and
tropics to mountains in the North. Preserved in the mountains are hilltribes
still going about their way of life as they have for hundreds of years
yet unchanged. The South encompasses the
Gulf of Thailand and has many secluded beaches that
stretch out as far as Malaysia. .
