Destination
THAILAND
The kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, making it a natural gateway to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China. Its shape and geography divide into four natural regions: the mountains and forests of the North, the vast rice fields of the Central Plains, the semi-arid farm lands of the Northeast plateau and the tropical islands and long coastline of the peninsula South. With this reason, the country’s essential tourism product is scarcely rivaled. Topographical variety, from beaches and islands to forested highlands, is matched by a long history and rich cultural traditions that colour travel experience and leave a lasting impression of a most rewarding destination.
