With over
six million tourists flying into the country each year, Thailand
has become Asia's primary holiday destination and is a useful and popular
first stop on any overland journey through Southeast Asia. The influx of
tourist cash has played a significant part in the country's recent
development, yet Thailand's cultural integrity remains largely undamaged. In
this country of around 68 million people, over ninety percent are practicing
Theravada Buddhists, and King Bhumibol is a revered figure across
his nation. Tiered temple rooftops and saffron-robed monks dominate every
vista, and, though some cities and beach resorts are characterized by
high-rises and neon lights, the typical Thai community is the traditional
farming village: ninety percent of Thais still earn their living from the
land.
Most
journeys start in Bangkok. Thailand's huge, noisy, polluted capital
can be an overwhelming introduction to Southeast Asia, but there are traveler-oriented guesthouses aplenty here, and heaps of spectacular
temples to visit. It's also the best place for arranging onward travel and
visas for neighboring countries. A popular side-trip from the city takes in
the raft houses of Kanchanaburi, the infamous site of the Bridge over the
River Kwai. After Bangkok, most travelers head north, sometimes via the
ancient capitals of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai , to the enjoyably
laid-back city of Chiang Mai, where they organize treks to nearby hill tribe
villages. There's tranquil countryside in bucket loads up in the
northern highlands around Mae Hong Son and along the Mekong River in
Thailand's northeast (Isaan), where you can stay in village guesthouses and
hop across the border into Laos. The northeast is the least visited area of
Thailand, but holds two fine ancient Khmer ruins Phimai and Phanom Rung near
Buriram, and the country's most popular national park, Khao Yai.
After
trekking and rural relaxation, most visitors want to head for the beach and Thailand's eastern and southern coasts are lined with gorgeous
white-sand shores, aquamarine seas and kaleidoscopic reefs. The most popular
of these are the east coast backpackers' resorts of Koh Samet and Koh
Chang,
the Gulf Coast islands of Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan and Koh
Tao, and the Andaman
coast idylls of Laem Phra Nang, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta.
The
southern island of Phuket and the east coast resort of Pattaya are more
expensive, package-tour oriented spots.
