Thailand- Introduction
Thailand's islands and beaches are magical
destinations for a fun filled holiday in the sun. While,
ruins,temples
and deserted cities are an indication of the ancient
stature, the urban Bangkok is the polar opposite in
terms of new-age entertainment, crowds, pollution, energy
and cultural treasures.
The Kingdom of Thailand covers
a total area of 517,000sq km with a population of 62
million people. It is a mix of the predominantly Thai,
and then Malay, Mon, Phuan and Karen minorities.
Buddhism
is most widely practiced religion and Thai is spoken
all over the country. Thailand has an efficient transport
system and provides cheap accommodation.
The Thais are
a friendly and hospitable people who like extending
their hospitality to strangers.
