Thailand is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in Asia. One of the few countries in this region never to be colonised, Thailand has retained a unique and fascinating culture, blending bustling commercialism with age old traditions.
It is also a land of incredibly diverse landscapes, from the warm, tropical south with its endless beaches, clear blue water and towering jungles to the beautiful ancient ruins of Ayuthaya and Sukhothai in central Thailand, and finally the mountainous north with its diverse hill tribes.
