Thailand attracts visitors from all over the world, it's loved by many for its unique culture, traditions, cuisine, natural beauty and friendly locals. In fact, such is the attraction of Thailand, it is now the second home for so many foreigners, who have bought a flat or villa here! 
Famous for its sparkling beaches of the islands in the south, the enigmatic temples and hill-tribes of the north, and the neon lights of Bangkok in between, exotic Thailand has something for every traveller.

Another plus is the great value-for-money, which Thailand offers. It is a favourite with both budget travellers and determined shoppers, who come to spend their cash at the many street markets, affordable electronics shops or out in the nightlife bars of the big cities and popular beach destinations.

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand is a mix of chaos, excitement and relaxation. It's a hub for shopping but also its the powerhouse of the country where markets mix with financial institutions, but without forgetting that in Bangkok, you will find some of the biggest Temples and the Royal Palace. However, once out of the bustling capital, the natural splendour of Thailand really shines. The limestone rock formations and lush rainforests of Khao Sok National Park and other nature reserves are popular spots for jungle trekking, and the crystal-clear waters around the southern beach playgrounds like Phuket, Krabi, Koh Phangan and Koh Phi Phi are a paradise for scuba diving and watersports.

Not to forget, many travellers venture north to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai to see the many beautiful temples and the famous Hill-Tribes, like the Long Neck Villages, while the even more adventurous stray off the beaten path to Isaan.

Thailand's unique culture and people are just as big an attraction as the hundreds of visually-stunning Buddhist temples and shrines scattered across cities and villages. 
Visitors can tour the ruins of ancient cities like Ayutthaya to get a sense of the country's long history.
No matter what part of the country travellers visit, a holiday in Thailand is a true exotic, wonderful experience which fills you with so many good memories!

Thailand's most famous transportation is the Tuk-Tuk, a redesigned bike, with a roof and space up to 4 passengers. Most vehicles are licensed and carry a number plate in the big cities but in smaller towns and in the countryside they can be driven by anyone including children! When visiting any region in Thailand it's hard not to be temped to ride one of them. They offer tours and taxi rides in the cities, moving around is easier and cheaper also by Tuk-tuk. Remember to always pre-arrange the price with the driver before you get on and don't let them take you to another destination other than what you asked for, as they tend to go to Taylor's or jewellery shops where they receive a commission by taking you there. 

Thailand is one of those countries you can't get tired of visiting, every time I go, there is something new to see or do. It's exotic landscape, tasty spicy cuisine and marvellous weather means Thailand is a top destination for so many travellers. It's popularity just keeps on growing not only for honeymoon couples but as friend getaways, family holidays and many even considering to live in it's paradise resorts, islands and new residential areas.

To explore the country and travel to its many destinations is cheap by plane, or bus. The north of Thailand offers beautiful unspoilt landscape, pristine forest, small towns and a very relaxed atmosphere in the cities where people take life slowly. The north also offers a cooler climate, ideal for nature lovers and outdoor activities. In contrast, when heading South, like to the resort of Phuket and Krabi, live here lights up much more with great paradise islands, sun kissed beaches and plenty of activities for tourists to keep them busy. The south offers ocean/water natural sights, snorkelling, swimming as well as a more party rhythm which doesn't seem to die down any day of the week! 

The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is also a must go destination! It offers a great insight of Thai culture, way of life and how people get on with daily life in one of the most dynamic cities in Southeast Asia! Often referred to as the destination for shopping, it has hundreds of shops from market and streets stalls to luxury department stores where to find anything you desire. Bangkok, also has higher humidity, pollution rate and chaotic traffic levels that adds time when commuting by road. The best time to explore Bangkok, is by night, when the night markets come into life and shops stay open till late. Indulge yourself into a Thai massage, enjoy a cocktail drink from the many roof top terraces and hotels in the city or simply relax, socialise and disconnect. 

Wherever you go in Thailand, one thing is for sure; The nature of Thailand's humble people, friendliness and good service stands out and you will realise it's a true paradise in so many forms!
