Thailand Travel Guide

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Each year Thailand is discovered by millions of visitors, drawn to its pristine beaches and aquamarine seas, as well as its rich culture, glitzy shopping malls, chic boutiques and colourful markets crammed with bargains.<br /> With its enticing mixture of established destinations such as Phuket and Hua Hin, and out-of-the-way palm-fringed islands, Thailand appeals to the most varied of travellers, whether they are craving barefoot luxury or hippy chic. From staying on a converted rice barge, clambering into a jungle tree house or bedding down in a hill tribe village, Thailand offers a wealth of choice for all tastes and budgets.<br /> Pampering is an art form in Thailand, and throughout the country spas offer authentic treatments whether it's in a 5-star luxury resort or a beach-side hut. If it's pulse-raising excitement you are after, head to the hectic sprawl of Bangkok's futuristic high-rise buildings.<br /> <div closure_uid_5bvzh="114">Early morning is when the saffron-robed monks leave the sanctuary of their <em>wats</em> (temples) to receive alms from the people, be it in a dusty village or on crowded city streets. Buddhism is a way of life here and the Thai's are also strong supporters of their monarchy. In fact, His Majesty King Bhumibol is the longest reigning monarch in the world, since coming to power in 1946. Following the end of absolute monarchy, Thailand moved towards democracy, but this was thwarted by the military, which has often staged coups in protest at government policies.</div><div closure_uid_5bvzh="114"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcZXasaUZbVg6JutzER1u3QcYwT4hJnLFKlcL_aGzLyBjv5luA0wxrIDj55tgMRhJaWT7csVNO1xfxKw2rLkwH6JrlyvmFzsH9YhpMknb2jP-r5fJEbQDbUsMIyKjNl5t2gBZuyzdysA/s1600/thailand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcZXasaUZbVg6JutzER1u3QcYwT4hJnLFKlcL_aGzLyBjv5luA0wxrIDj55tgMRhJaWT7csVNO1xfxKw2rLkwH6JrlyvmFzsH9YhpMknb2jP-r5fJEbQDbUsMIyKjNl5t2gBZuyzdysA/s400/thailand.jpg" /></a></div><div closure_uid_5bvzh="114"><br /> </div></div>
