A look at Thailand:

Thai people and culture:
With a population of about 60,000,000, Thailand covers an area of 513,115 sq. km. in the heart of South East Asia
‘Thai’ means free so Thailand actually means The Land of the Free. Even though there is complete religious freedom 95% of the Thai people follow Buddhism.
One of the most amazing features of the Thai people is their respect and huge affection for their monarchy. It is very unwise and actually could lead to very serious trouble (including imprisonment) to say anything bad about the monarchy. They are treasured dearly, and you will never hear a Thai utter a bad word particularly in public.

Thai cuisine
The first thing that strikes your mind when you heard of Thailand is surely “Thai food”. It is well known for being hot and spicy and for its balance of five essential flavors in each dish or the overall meal – hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty, and bitter (optional)
Thai food is famous for its fervent use of fresh (rather than dried) herbs and spices as well as fish sauce.

Thailand Tourism Festival 2009
The Thailand Tourism Festival (TTF) is the main attraction of the season celebrated through 3-7 June this year. It is the country’s major travel and tourism showcase happening that embraces a huge collection of activities to encourage the preservation of Thai culture, traditions and local way of life.
Fabulous stage performances and live illustration of local arts and crafts add a vibrant festive feel to the event. If you are visiting Thailand for the first time than don’t miss this event, as it’s a smart and easy way to get recent updates also to grab best offers.

The most visited destinations of Thailand are Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi Samui, Chiang Mai etc but
So go and book your travel package to Thailand and explore the beauty of Thailand. Enjoy your trip.
