The Kingdom of Thailand draws more visitors than any other country in southeast Asia, with its irresistible combination of natural beauty, inspiring temples, renowned hospitality, robust cuisine and ruins of fabulous ancient kingdoms. Few countries are so well endowed.
From the stupa-studded mountains of Mae Hong Son and the verdant limestone islands of the Andaman Sea, to the pulse-pounding dance clubs of Bangkok and the tranquil villages moored along the Mekong River, Thailand offers something for every type of traveler.

Suggested Itineraries: Thailand
Many festivals are linked to Buddhist or Brahman rituals and follow a lunar calendar. New Year/Songkran is celebrated in mid-April by 'bathing' Buddha images, paying respects to monks and elders by sprinkling water over their hands, and generally tossing a lot of water in the air for fun.
During the Loi Krathong Festival, held after the rainy season (usually in November), candle-lit floats are cast into waterways to bring good fortune for the coming year. Bangkok and Thailand's northern provinces are good places to catch this celebration. Read more about suggested itineraries in Thailand in our blog.
