Thailand Vacations, Thailand Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Thailand, formerly known as Siam - which means "Land of the Free" - offers something for everyone. The capital, Bangkok, is alive with commerce and street-bustle nearly every hour of the day and night. Whether in big cities like Bangkok, the countryside of Chiang Mai or on a pristine beach of Phuket, Thailand offers business and leisure travelers a safe, friendly atmosphere full of possibilities. The full moon party in Koh Phangan transforms the beach in Haad Rin, thousands of people, music and lots of alcohol makes this a night to remember.

Indeed, one reason Thailand is among the most visited countries in Asia (more than 10 million visitors annually) is because of its accessibility and extensive tourism infrastructure. Don't let this put you off, but take it for waht it's worth.

Thailand has fabulous architecture, diverse hill-tribe villages, ancient ruins, beautiful islands, excellent shopping, and all the amenities as well. The balance between comfort and excitement is up to you: Stay at a five-star hotel or trek through the jungles; eat at gourmet, buffets, or buy fruit from local vendors. Shop in underground malls, buy cheap but beautiful clothes, or wander through outdoor markets. Thailand offers a curious mix of the ultramodern and the simply delightful.
