its mark on the landscape Thousands of Buddhist temples, the ancient
ruins of Isaan (Thailand's Northeast) and the magnificent temples
and palaces of Sukhothai and Ayuthaya tell of an ancient culture
that continues to enchant visitors even today.Although there were
regional conflicts essentially Thailand has retained its independence
and its unique identity for over 800 years.
Aisawan Thipaya Pavilion,
Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, The intricate, multi-tiered roofs
and elegantly moulded golden spires of the Pavilion in the
centre of a lake reflects the quintessential Thai architectural
style.
Never colonised by a Western power, Thailand
has remained free to continue beliefs and practices which have been
part of everyday life for centuries.A proudly independent nation,
the Kingdom comprises cultures as diverse as the hilltribes, sea
gypsies, and rural communities living in harmony with modern day
mobile phone owning city dwellers. In any other country it may be
a surprise that such diversity can co-love for the monarchy unite
them and transform their diversity into a strength. The people's
respect for tradition, their adherence to Buddhism and love for
the monarchy unite them and transform their diversity into a strength.

Tradition lives on today. In Bangkok, which is
a mere 200 years old the city's magnificence can be seen at the
wonderful Grand Palace, the Temple of The Emerald Buddha, the towering
Temple of Dawn and the charming Vimanmek Teakwood Palace. Visitors
will be enthralled by the sight of a Buddhist Temple under construction

culture, evolving before your eyes and embracing the ancient and
timeless with the modern. More than any other Asian nation, Thai
people love "fun". They have a great love for life and believe in
enjoying it whenever they can.In fact, there is a special word for
this - "Sanuk". You will see it in the smiling faces of the people,
in the myriad of local festivals and in the way in which Thai people
always find an excuse to have a party. "Sanuk" - yet another good
reason to make Thailand the Preferred Destination.
