Thailand literally means ´land of the free´ but the country is more famously known as "the land of smiles". Renowned for its hospitality and the friendliness of its inhabitants Thailand is a country full of visible monumental heritage with a physical landscape equally as stunning as the architecture. From the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the laid back hill-top resorts of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, Thailand is truly a country of contrasts with sleek, glass and chrome shopping centres, living side by side with Buddhist Temples and busy street markets.
