It is hard to use words to describe the beauty of Thailand as it really is a place that you must see to believe.

PEOPLE

With a population of around 60 million people, it is not surprising to find that Thailand is often referred to as the ‘land of smiles’ as you seem to find that every person you come across welcomes you with a friendly face.

GEOGRAPHY

Totaling 513,120 square kilometres (198,120 sq mi), Thailand is the world’s 50th largest country in land mass, while it is the world’s 20th largest country in terms of population. It is comparable in population to countries such as France and the United Kingdom, and is similar in land size to France and California in the United States.

FOOD

Thai food blends five fundamental tastes: sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and salty. Some common ingredients used in Thai cuisine include garlic, chillies, lime juice, lemon grass, and fish sauce. The staple food in Thailand is rice, particularly jasmine variety rice(also known as Hom Mali rice) which is included in almost every meal.

RELIGION

Its traditions incorporate a great deal of influence from India, China, Cambodia, and the rest of Southeast Asia. Thailand’s national religion Theravada Buddhism is important to modern Thai identity. Thai Buddhism has evolved over time to include many regional beliefs originating from Hinduism, animism as well as ancestor worship.
