Thailand
THAILAND
There is never a dull day in Thailand. Whether it is the Songkran Festival or the first cool breeze of the winter season, there is always something to make you smile, laugh, cry or get excited about. Take the opportunity to view the destinations and see what hidden treasures await you.

Thailand is a wondrous kingdom, featuring Buddhist temples, exotic wildlife, and spectacular islands. Along with a fascinating history and a unique culture that includes delectable Thai food and massage, Thailand features a modern capital city, and friendly people who epitomize Thailand’s “land of smiles” reputation.

From traditional Buddhist festivals and wet and wild Thai new years celebrations to spectacular national parks and an array of land, sea, and air activities, Thailand is a wonderland of festivals, attractions, and activities.

Thailand features not only some of the finest hotels and resorts in the world but also arguably the greatest variety of accommodation to choose from. Thailand accommodation options range from rural home stays to luxurious five-star spa-resorts and nearly everything in between.

Thailand features not only one of the finest cuisines in the world but also a wide selection of restaurants serving authentic Italian, Japanese, Middle Eastern, and other global cuisines. Find restaurants, recipes, and cookery classes to fill your holiday with epicurean pleasure.

While Thai food has a reputation for being spicy, Thai food is actually based on a balance between different flavors including spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and bitter. This goes beyond simply combining the flavors within an individual dish to incorporate the contrast in flavors between two or three different dishes, which is one reason Thai’s share meals and eat family style.
One distinctive aspect of Thai food is the use of fresh herbs and spices as well as the inclusion of fermented fish sauce in nearly every dish –a potential problem for vegetarians, though saying “jay”

    The Chinese are inextricable from the history of Thailand’s development, notably due to the fact that they were instrumental in the flourishing of the agricultural industry and even helped Thailand discover as well as exploit one of its prime commodities, sugar. The monarchy also prospered from their labour, taxes and not least from their vices: gambling drinking and smoking opium. Thailand is frequently lauded as a model for harmonious multi-cultural co-existence and respectable levels of national unity between the Chinese and the indigenous, despite the ‘threatening’ presence of the Chinese in the economic and political…

    One of the main differences I saw and witnessed on the big experience was that Thailand had more class divide. There were luscious temples and beautiful houses for the rich, living in the cities. Although as you went further out of the city and into the rural Thai villages there were only rustic huts and bamboo or floor beds. The lives of these Thai people were so different. It is apparent that there is 41% more class divide in Thailand than Australia.…
