Welcome to our Thailand Travel Guide
The Kingdom of Thailand is the most visited destination in Southeast Asia, followed closely by Malaysia and Singapore. Thailand has a vibrant visible culture than any other country in Southeast Asia. The history of the Kingdom is very mysterious, involving many different peoples, the rule of different kings and the interaction of diversified cultures.
As a small reminder, please remember that Thailand recently changed the visa rules and we would advise you, to apply a visa from any Thai Embassy abroad if you plan to stay more then 30 days. Please also remember that sadly for the past few years, a low level insurgency is been waged in Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala and you should stay away from those three provinces for the time being.
