If you take one lasting memory from Thailand, it has to be the hospitality of its people. Their charm can be seen everywhere - from the north's breathtaking hill villages and the pulsating metropolis of Bangkok, to the powder-white shores of the south's remote beaches and world-class holiday and hotel resorts in Phuket. Coloured by magnificent temples and flavored by a world-renowned cuisine, Thailand really does have it all. |

Thailand is often referred to as a golden land, not because there is precious metal buried underground but because the country gives off a certain lustre, be it the fertile rice fields of the central plains, white sandy beaches or the warm hospitality of its citizenry. |

Thailand's cool season runs from November until the end of February. With its low humidity, relatively low temperatures and clear skies, the cool season is the best time to visit, though regular days of high 20s and low 30s might leave you wondering just who came up with the term ‘cool’. It is also the peak tourist season, so expect lots of new friends at the more popular spots like the islands and major towns. |
