Thailand

Thailand has a land area of 513,115 sq.km.(approx. 127,008 acres) bordered by Malaysia (South), Myanmar (West & North), Laos (North & East) and Cambodia (Southeast). The country's east coast borders the Gulf of Thailand and the west coast abuts the Andaman Sea. The country is divided geographically into four main zones-the fertile central plains, dominated by the Chao Phraya River; the 300-metre-high northeast plateau, the kingdom's most barren region; the mountainous North; and the tropical southern peninsula.
Well known tourist places:
Bangkok (The capital)
Pattaya
Phuket
Krabi

Bangkok:
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand.  Bangkok is a place of high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and spicy nightlife it is one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities with magnificent temples and palaces, authentic canals, busy markets and a vibrant nightlife that has something for everyone. Bangkok is world’s hottest city. It becomes a hot travel spot for all the travel lovers.

Pattaya:
Pattaya City is an internationally well-known seaside resort; Pattaya is also a vibrant city by night and by day. Pattaya offers a colourful potpourri of mixed nationalities from near and far. Pattaya has a vast range of tourism-related activities. Pleasures of Pattaya range from relaxing on the beach, to sea-based sports, to visiting the scores of local attractions in and around Pattaya / Chonburi.
The half-moon-shaped Pattaya Beach is 4 km long with a road running parallel to the beachfront. From middle-section to the southern end of Pattaya Beach are many restaurants, bars, department stores, souvenir stores, as well as other places of entertainment. Khao Pattaya (Khao Phra Bat) is a small hill to the south of Pattaya Beach. The view point on the hilltop offers a panoramic view of Pattaya City and Pattaya Bay.

Phuket:
Phuket is home to some of the world's most spectacular beaches, but there's much more to this island than surf and sand. There are Incredible, authentic Thai restaurants that use fresh, local ingredients, sacred Buddhist temples and statues, and vibrant markets where you'll find handmade goods from local artisans.

Krabi:
Krabi town  is very close to the river mouth that opens to the great Andaman Sea. Krabi river flows about 5 km through the town and opens into the Andaman  sea at Tambon Pak Nam. The river is a hub of activity with fishing boats and river taxis ferrying both locals and visitors to spots near and far and the pier to the west of town is the place to catch a ride to the surrounding beaches and islands. Krabi Town is a market Thai town that was around long before international tourists started to visit the area. It's charming, laid back, and as much as the word is overused, it's very local.
