The Kingdom of Thailand is one of the finest countries to spend a vacation. Blessed with a tropical climate that is neither too hot, too dry, nor too wet in the monsoon season, it is possible to travel here at any time of the year. Located in Southeast Asia with coasts on the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. It borders Myanmar (Burma) to the north-west, Laos to the north-east, Cambodia to the south-east and Malaysia to the south. Thailand is a magnet for travelers from all over the world offering leisure travelers a safe and friendly atmosphere full of possibilities. From its tropical climate, fascinating culture, beautiful islands and great beaches, fabulous architecture, diverse hill-tribe villages, ancient ruins to excellent shopping and all the amenities, it offers something for everyone. Bangkok, the capital, is alive with commerce and street-bustle nearly every hour of the day and night. Whether in big cities, the country or on a pristine beach, Thailand, because of its accessibility and extensive tourism infrastructure, is one of the most visited countries in Asia with more than 10 million visitors each year. Enjoy a stay at a five-star hotel, trek through the jungles, enjoy a river cruise, eat at gourmet buffets or buy fruit from local vendors, shop in underground malls or wander through outdoor markets. Thailand offers a curious mix of the ultramodern and the simply delightful. The tsunamis that struck Southeast Asia in December 2004 dealt a serious blow to Thailand's western coast: The hardest-hit regions were Phang-Nga, Phuket and Krabi provinces, including popular resort areas in Phuket and Phi Phi Island. In addition, many small fishing villages were completely destroyed. Tourism has returned to many areas and much has been repaired at this time.
