About Thailand
Thailand, “the land of smiles,” and the gateway country of Southeast Asia, draws more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia thanks to breathtaking natural beauty, ornate temples, robust cuisine, and ruins of ancient kingdoms. Buddhism, which places a high value on hospitality and kindness, is the dominant religion, and you are likely to see orange-robed monks and statues of the Buddha.
Please Note: Travel date ranges are provided to help with general scheduling. Please do not reserve any domestic travel based on these dates.
