Thailand is an exotic locale that abounds with Buddhist temples, pristine islands, incredible food, and friendly locals. Known as the “Land of Smiles”, Thailand is a place that leaves a deep impression on its visitors. The earliest history of the first independent Thai kingdoms traces back to the 13th century, and the ruins of Ayutthaya can still be visited today. Although the country was occupied by Burma at various points in history, Thailand remarkably was one of the few countries in Southeast Asia to avoid colonization by European powers. Present-day Thailand is a rapidly developing country, and holds the distinction of having the second largest GDP in Southeast Asia. Its capital city,
Bangkok, is the cultural, political, and economic hub of Thailand. Home of the Grand Palace,
Thai boxing, floating markets, and a dazzling downtown business district, there’s a little something for everyone in the “City of Angels”.
