About Thailand

Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand and formerly known as Siam, is a country in Southeast Asia. Thailand is bordered to the north by Myanmar and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Myanmar.

Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been colonized by a European power. It is known for its beautiful nature, delicious mangoes and strict rules about conversations on its monarchy.

The country has invested significantly in its infrastructure making communication and access to locations easier. These two factors alone improve tourism. But the real reason/reasons Thailand is so popular is the people, the culture, and the natural environment.
