Grand
Palace, Bangkok.

Thailand -
a contrast of storybook fables, architectural gems, natural wonders,
and hedonistic pleasures - remains one of the hottest destinations
in Southeast Asia.
Bangkok, the
capital city, is infamously known for its urban blight, traffic
jams and "flesh" markets of every description, but it
also offers the sophisticated traveler world class Bangkok
shopping and dining, or at the end of the day a well-earned
respite for taking in Thai culture in one of its peaceful monasteries.
Also be sure
to make a stop at the country's second city, Chiang
Mai, for a dazzling array of cultural attractions, Buddhist
temples and historic ruins, with an opportunity to take an elephant
ride or to hike the Golden Triangle.
While traveling
throughout the country, at the top of any must-see list is Pattaya,
the popular beach resort offering world class swimming and diving
in addition to cruises out to nearby Ko Laan and Ko Lin islands.
And speaking of islands, world famous Phuket offers the ultimate
in luxury fun-in-the-sun and dazzling nightlife.
For history
buffs, a trip to Kanchanaburi will take you to the site of the
infamous Bridge on the River Kwai, with a museum nearby dedicated
to the World War II Allied prisoners.
And for nature
lovers the mind-boggling array of scenic waterfalls at Khao Yai
National Park is also not to be missed ...
