Overview

Thailand

Travel Alert (FCO - last updated: 19 January 2012):
The FCO advises against all travel to Preah Vihear temple area and the Ta Krabey and Ta Moan temple area, located on the Thai-Cambodian border, due to the presence of troops. Visitors should exercise vigilance and keep up-to-date with local news and security advice. Advice is also to avoid all but essential travel to the provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla, on the Thai-Malaysian border. Between September and December last year, flooding affected large areas of central, northern and eastern Thailand. As a consequence, there is a possibility of an increased risk from illness and disease in these areas. Avoid all political demonstrations or protests. You must carry your passport with you at all times, for risk of being arrested. There have been bomb scares and caution must be taken at all times, especially in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani.

A wondrous place full of mountains, jungle and forests, Thailand is also known for being the land of smiles. It is also a country of people that follow the Buddhist religion - no less than 30,000 temples are dotted around this beautiful country. Bangkok is a fascinating blend of gilded temples, bazaars and glass towers. Discover the floating markets, taste the tropical fruits; the pleasures of Thailand are indeed simple ones. The hundreds of stunning beaches continue to draw in tourists from all over the world and leave one word in your mind: paradise. The local Thai people and their harmonious and refined way of life will leave you with nothing but good memories of your holiday.

Country Guide

Thailand Thailand, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

To get the most out of the exciting life in Bangkok don't hesitate to get around on local means of transports such as the tuk-tuks, moto-traxis and river express boats. While you must admire the gorgeous beaches, don't neglect the wonderful national parks often found nearby. Notably there is Khao Sok, whose breathtaking jungle scenery almost reach the water. Lastly, there are a few unknown and little-developed islands in the maritime national park of Tarutao in the country's deep south.
