the land of smiles, where everyone is fun loving and
happy go lucky and the country itself is as diverse
and spectacular as the glossy postcards depict. It is
a country where travel is reasonably cheap and there
is something for everyone. A land where boredom has
been forgotten, where the rain is warm, even pleasant
and there is something for every taste or desire.
From
her souring jungle decked mountain ranges to her
crystal clear oceans and icing-sugar shores, Thailand
is a holidaymaker’s paradise. Steeped in
antediluvian history, culture enthusiasts can meander
for hours through ancient cities and Buddhist temples
or follow the lively ‘arts’ scene. Eco-tourists,
can paddle their way through landscape that ‘time
forgot’ and view fauna and flora, un-documented or
strange to their eyes.
Join
the crowds bargaining their way through the lively
market scene or shop in style at one of the many up to
date shopping malls. Wrap up in silk or hand-woven
fabrics that are so varied it’s hard to choose which
one to purchase. Eat food that lets one experience the
true meaning of a ‘taste sensation’ and drink
refreshing coconut milk or sugar cane juice as it is
harvested.
Thailand,
a land of contrasts, a land of genuinely beautiful
people, a land that once visited can be revisited
again and again and one will never tire of its
diversity, spectacular scenery, friendliness and
affordability. A land that really is ‘Paradise’!
