History
Thailand is unique among the South East Asian countries as being the
only one never to have been colonized. Its thousand year
history is one of kings and wars and democracy interspersed with
coups (some violent, some peaceful) and then times of calm and
tranquility.

Geography
There are four very distinct regions in Thailand. The
central region, where Bangkok is located, is the rice basket of the
country; the northeast has a dryer climate and great music; the
south is the wettest region but is blessed with beautiful islands
and beaches; the north has majestic mountains and can be rather
cold. Use the links to find out more about Thailand's
