About Thailand
Formerly known as Siam, Thailand is a mesmerizing Southeast Asian nation uniquely untouched by European colonization. It is deeply rooted in Buddhism, which influences its architecture, daily routines, and the overwhelmingly gentle nature of its people.
From the misty mountains of the Golden Triangle in the north to the emerald-green waters and limestone karsts of the Andaman Sea in the south, Thailand's geography is as diverse as its culture. It is a country of contrasts—where serene golden temples share city skylines with futuristic skyscrapers, and quiet rural farming villages exist just hours away from world-renowned beach parties.
