A smorgasbord of bustling streets, floating markets, royal palaces, reclining Buddas, lush jungles and tiered waterfalls, Thailand has it all. 

This Southeast Asian country beckons all types of visitors to its shores. Its miles of coastline and tropical beaches call out to beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts, and its dense jungles are a playground for rock climbers, wildlife watchers and backpackers. Thailand’s ultramodern capital, Bangkok, is an intoxicating mix of modern skyscrapers, meandering monks, crazy traffic, iconic temples, opulent palaces, and quiet canal communities.
