Country Guides: Thailand
Thailands status as a getaway for the rich and famous and budget travellers alike hasn't diminished its returns. Hedonism and spirituality are covered in large doses, from the excess of all night beach parties through to the serenity of ancient Buddhist temples. The infusion of tourist Baht has not overrun the traditional way of life; Buddhist monks remain a regular sight, and most of the population still make their money from the land.
The countrys remote northern reaches are home to various hill tribes while the less visited north eastern region is flavoured by Laos and Khmer influences. From the beaches to Bangkok, the common thread that ties the country together is its distinct cuisine and hospitality.
