Top Descriptions
| Thailand may just be at the very centre of Asia, and with enough variation to draw first-time travellers, tourists and hardened backpackers alike, it is very much at the heart of travel too. Whether you’re drawn here by the jungles and hill tribes of the north of the country, the parties and people and buzz of the central region, or the beaches and water pursuits of the island-dotted south – or whether you’ve arrived here just through the same energy that has drawn millions of tourists and traders before you – you will not be disappointed. There is a reason that Thailand has grown and succeeded so well over the years. The Siamese were and still are a powerful Kingdom and Thailand an important trading route. Free of judgement and very much business minded, the Land of Smiles welcomes all peoples, all interests, and all purses. – Daniel |
