Overview Country

Thailand
A land of golden temples, verdant jungles and turquoise seas

Thailand is a well-known for its temples, statues, or various other monuments and culture

Bathing with elephants in the jungle: what a great way to start your Thai experience. Follow that with temple-hopping through the pulsating streets of Bangkok, then relaxing on pristine beaches. How about enjoying sunset while sharing sticky rice and mango with locals? Finally, strolling through one of the vibrant night markets. Yes, that’s too much for one day but your time in Thailand can be whatever you want it to be. We know this southeast Asian favourite inside out so can help you discover this tantalizing country.

From spirit houses to temples and more, it is apparent how important the national religion, Theravada Buddhism, is to the Thai people.

Squeezed between four other southeast Asian countries, Thailand is roughly the size of Spain but actually extends about 1600km from north to south. Its 68 million inhabitants are nearly all Buddhist.
