Thailand’s white sandy beaches, lush green forests and friendly smiles are an amazing backdrop for any traveller seeking adventure. Whether it is cycling around the ancient city of Ayutthaya, white-water rafting down the Mae Taeng River or scuba diving in the clear waters you will feel welcomed into this country. Like so many others before you, you will find it difficult to leave and may even make your stay more permanent.
In south east Asia, Thailand borders Burma and Laos to the north, Cambodia to the east, Malaysia and the Gulf of Thailand to the south and the Andaman Sea to the west.
The Khorat Plateau is a lowland area in the north-east corner of the country, through it runs the Mekong River, winding its way to the Gulf of Thailand. The mountains in the north are almost unbroken; only the Three Pagodas Pass provides a way through from Burma to Thailand. This pass was historically used as a route for many invasions, including one by the Japanese who built a railway line through it - now a popular tourist spot.
At the centre of Thailand is a low, flat and fertile river valley for the River Chao Phraya to flow through; this river, like the Mekong, ends in the Gulf of Thailand. South-west of here is a narrow coastal peninsula that is covered in tropical forest. The western coast is narrower, with swampy areas ideal for mangroves and that are fun to kayak through. The eastern side, however, has much wider and longer beaches.
In Thailand, the climate is a tropical one. Here the monsoon rains last from May to September and the temperatures remain warm. November sees the start of the dry season, with the south becoming hot and humid, and the north experiencing a drier heat. March and April are by far the hottest months, while the peak tourist season is between October and March.
Bangkok, the capital, is the largest city in Thailand. Many travellers use it as the base for starting and finishing various tours; it is centrally located with easy access to airports and many bus routes. Other major cities include Pattaya, which is a large city in a bay on the south-east coast, Chiang Mai, the most significant city in the mountainous north of Thailand and Phuket city, which is located on Phuket Island, on the western side of the peninsula. Travel by air is by far the quickest and most comfortable way to get about in Thailand, but for an adventure, try a long journey on a tour bus. Transferring from one bus to the next on route to your destination can often leave you waiting at the side of a road for hours. Local buses can also be used to get around. You may have to do without a guaranteed seat or air conditioning, but they are, by far, the cheapest and most exciting mode of transport.Show less...
