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. Thailand embraces a rich diversity of cultures and traditions. With its proud history,
tropical climate and renowned hospitality, the Kingdom is a never-ending source
of fascination and pleasure for international visitors.
The healthcare and medical treatment facilities within Thailand's major cities are
excellent. The technical equipment and medical expertise is abundant. Most hospitals
within Bangkok have English-speaking doctors and nurses, with Western medical training,
who will provide ample attention to all of your needs. Procedures are all very well
organized, and you will feel in good hands altogether when going for treatment.
Kingdom of Thailand draws more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia
with its irresistible combination of breathtaking natural beauty, inspiring temples,
renowned hospitality, robust cuisine and ruins of fabulous ancient kingdoms. Few
countries are so well endowed.
From the Stupa-studded mountains of Mae Hong Son and the verdant limestone islands
of the Andaman Sea, to the pulse-pounding dance clubs of Bangkok and the tranquil
villages moored along the Mekong River, Thailand offers something for every type
of traveler.

Bangkok has dominated Thailand's urban hierarchy
as well as its political, commercial and cultural life since the late 18th century.
Although you can shop in air-conditioned comfort in its Western-style malls, the
city is a long way from being tamed by commercial homogeneity. Bangkok proper seethes
on the east side of the Mae Nam Chao Phraya (Chao Phraya River), drawing rural Thai
folk into its cluttered fold daily.
Over the last few decades, Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, has changed into a
modern, exciting and sophisticated city. |
