The Kingdom of Thailand draws more visitors than any other country in southeast Asia with its irresistible combination of breathtaking natural beauty, inspiring temples, renowned hospitality, robust cuisine and ruins of fabulous ancient kingdoms. From the stupa-studded mountains of Mae Hong Son and the verdant limestone islands of the Andaman Sea, to the pulse-pounding dance clubs of Bangkok and the tranquil villages moored along the Mekong River, Thailand offers something for every type of traveler. Of course Thailand, like other Asian countries, has been influenced by contact with foreign cultures. But the never-changing character of Thai culture has remained dominant, even in modern city life. Often depicted as fun-loving, happy-go-lucky folk (which indeed they often are), the Thais are also proud and strong, and have struggled for centuries to preserve their independence of spirit.Thailand is divided into 5 regions: The Central Region is extremely rich in historical sites. These include Nakhon Pathom, Kanchanaburi. Bang Pa-In, Ayutthaya, Saraburi, Lopburi and, most important of all, Bangkok, Thailand s capital and major point-of-entry. The East Coast unfolds in a series of bays and beaches to the Thai-Kampuchean border. Many popular resorts, including Pattaya, Asia’s premier beach resort, occupy a coast characterized by cliff-hidden bays, palmfringed beaches, fishing communities, lovely islands and largely tranquil Gulf waters. The North – Bordered by Burma and Laos, characterized by forested mountains — lower extremities of Himalayan foothills — and fertile river valleys, northern Thailand encompasses part of the fabled Golden Triangle and was the cradle of Thai civilization where several centuries ago, small independent kingdoms held sway. The Northeast Plateau is a distinctive region thanks to a topography of forested mountains and national parks and rolling farmland: to its colorful inhabitants who speak their own melodious dialect, have a delicious highly spiced cuisine, and a hospitable, vibrant and oftentimes boisterous folk culture: and because of archaeologically significant excavations and shrines — such as Ban Chiang where the world’s oldest Bronze Age civilization flourished some 5,600 years ago: and venerable prasat hin (stone castle) temples, legacy of I-San’s former importance to the Angkor-centred Khmer empire. The South is characterized by lush tropical islands, dazzling palm-fringed beaches, coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life, picturesque fishing villages with handpainted boats, remote national parks, forested mountains, waterfalls, historic cities, ubiquitous rubber estates, wildlife sanctuaries, and the juxtaposition of temples and mosques.

Thailand’s Weather and Climate

Thailand’s Weather and Climate

ClimateThailand’s climate is tropical, high both in temperature and humidity, and dominated by monsoons. April and May are the hottest months of the year, when even the locals are moved to complain about the heat. June sees the beginning of the South West Monsoon, and brings with it the rainy season, which continues intermittently until the end of October.From November to the end of February the climate is much less trying with a cooling North East breeze and a reduction in the humidity level. This is also the main tourist season, and the best time to visit Thailand.The area of Thailand north of Bangkok has a climate determined by three seasons whilst the southern peninsular region of Thailand has only two.In northern Thailand the seasons are clearly defined. Between November and May the weather is mostly dry, however this is broken up into the periods November to February and March to May. The later of these two periods has the higher relative temperatures as although the northeast monsoon does not directly effect the northern area of Thailand, it does cause cooling breezes from November to February.The other northern season is from May to November and is dominated by the southwest monsoon, during which time rainfall in the north is at its heaviest.The southern region of Thailand really has only two seasons — the wet and the dry. These seasons do not run at the same time on both the east and west side of the peninsular. On the west coast (Phuket) the southwest monsoon brings rain and often heavy storms from April through toOctober, whilst on the east coast (Koh Samui) the most rain falls between September and December.Overall the southern parts of Thailand get by far the most rain with around 2,400 millimetres every year, compared with the central and northern regions of Thailand, both of which get around 1,400 millimetres.
