Thailand Introduction

Thailand, the ‘Land of Smiles’, is everything you would imagine an exotic Asian destination to be - hot and steamy and a true feast for the senses. It has a very distinctive and traditional culture, a wonderful cuisine, idyllic islands, colorful hill tribes, and those friendly smiling faces.

If its capital city, Bangkok is one of the most dynamic cities in the world; yet in Thailand’s remote north there are villages scarcely touched by the modern world. Encountering with the various hill tribes along the Burmese border or following a mahout training course at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center, home-staying with Shan, Karen, Lisu, or Thai families, the former Kingdom of Siam is a fascinating country to discover in permanent contact with Mother Nature and its inhabitants.
