Thailand Travel Guide

Edit Section - Thailand Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

Thailand is a lot more diverse than the popular impressions make it out to be. From the gorgeous backpacking and trekking available in the untrammeled north, to the hedonistic Thai Islands, to the famous temples or palace ruins in Ayuthaya and Sudon Thani, the country offers a bewildering array of options. There are metropolises and ruins, gorgeous beaches, and luxurious resorts with prices so cheap you'll blush. Thailand can seem too good to be true. It's an inexpensive and beautiful paradise filled with the young and adventurous.

Thai tourism has a darker side though. It has long been infamous for sex tourism and some cities (like Pattaya) become overwhelmed by it. There has also been some ethnic tension in the Muslim south, with occasional acts of terrorism. And a recent miliatary coup (in September of 2006) leaves the country in a state of political instability.

While paradise is not without trouble, it is still paradise. Come to Thailand with an appetite for adventure, the outdoors, and a rich history and culture and you won't be disappointed.
