Thailand
has many types of landscape on offer. The
mountainous regions of the north with its
valleys filled with swirling fogs and mists
create a stark contrast to the plains of
central and northeastern Thailand. Eastern
Thailand's plains and hills offer fertile
land ripe for jungle and agriculture, and
as with southern Thailand, offers some of
the most attractive beaches and islands
on the planet. Of course, all this nature
is set against Thailand's metropolitan areas;
Thailand is home to some major cities, Bangkok,
the country's capital, certainly the largest
and the most formidable.
The kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart
of Southeast Asia, making it a natural gateway
to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China.
Its shape and geography divide into four
natural regions : the mountains and forests
of the North; the vast rice fields of the
Central Plains; the semi-arid farm lands
of the Northeast plateau; and the tropical
islands and long coastline of the peninsula
South.
The
country comprises 76 provinces that are
further divided into districts, sub-districts
and villages. Bangkok is the capital city
and centre of political, commercial, industrial
and cultural activities. It is also the
seat of Thailand's revered Royal Family,
with His Majesty the King recognised as
Head of State, Head of the Armed Forces,
Upholder of the Buddhist religion and Upholder
of all religions.
Thailand
is a country of many romantic and sprawling
beaches. It has some of the best beaches
in the world.Each year thousands of people
visit Thailand and its lovely beaches for
a travel experience they do not easily forget.Thailand's
nightlife is legendary and a major attraction
for visitors. The risque nightlife (go-go
bars, etc.) on offer about the country has
its place, but doesn't constitute even a
fraction of what's on offer. Cabaret Shows
and entertainment areas abound, even in
the country's less touristy areas. Of course,
Thailand's restaurants and bars help complete
an irresistible package with some of the
best cuisine and entertainment available.
Visas
to Thailand:
Regulations covering the issuance of Thai
visas are found in Immigration Act B.E.
2522 (1979) section 5, 12 (1), 34 (15).
Essentially, although every visitor to Thailand
requires a valid passport, whether you need
a visa to enter Thailand is dependent on
the period of time you are expecting to
stay in the kingdom and your nationality.
Visitors
from a number of countries must obtain their
visas before entering Thailand. Other visitors
will be issued with a visa on arrival at
an international airport, a border crossing,
or an immigration checkpoint. A limited
number of countries have agreements with
Thailand that enable their citizens to enter
Thailand without a visa. Visas are issued
either by consulates and embassies outside
Thailand, or the Immigration Bureau of the
Royal Thai Police within Thailand.
Climate:
Thailand enjoys a tropical climate with
three distinct seasons-hot and dry from
February to May (average temperature 34
degrees Celsius and 75% humidity); rainy
with plenty of sunshine from June to October
(average day temperature 29 degrees Celsius
and 87% humidity); and cool from November
to January (temperatures range from 32 degrees
Celsius to below 20 degrees Celsius with
a drop in humidity).
Much
lower temperatures are experienced in the
North and Northeast during night time. The
South has a tropical rainforest climate
with temperatures averaging 28 degrees Celsius
almost all year round.
Accessibility
Air
: Thailand is well connected by air from
all countries.There are numerous Flights
of reputed Airlines like Thai Airlines,
