Diving and surfing, beaches and wide rice fields, old monasteries and urban nightlife – Thailand offers something for every tourist. The country’s cuisine is highly valued in the region, but is unfavorable for sensitive palates; certain mixtures of Thai curry are among the hottest in the world!

Geography and climate

According to Countryaah, the Kingdom of Thailand (Thai: ราช อาณาจักร ไทย) is a state in Southeast Asia. It borders Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Andaman Sea, and the Gulf of Thailand.

The best time to visit the country is between November and March. The peak of the rainy season is in September and October. The time between March and May is considered the hottest of the year.

Thailand is divided into five regions: the mountainous north, the urban and historically significant central Thailand, the tourist undeveloped northeast – known for the wide rice fields, the beaches of eastern Thailand which borders Cambodia and the south is a diving paradise. The country is varied: crossed by a dense jungle and steep slopes in the north, the south is characterized by long beaches. Beach vacation is possible in Phuket, for example.

On the Thailand honeymoon you can also look at the world on the back of an elephant, snorkel in a coral reef or stroll and shop in the big cities. So: off to the honeymoon in Thailand.

History and culture

The Kingdom of the Thais was created in the 14th century. It is the only country in the region that has never been under colonial rule, which is proudly referred to. Culturally, the country is shaped by Buddhism, whose temples can be found all over the country.

Security

Thailand is a well-developed country for tourism. So be careful of your valuables in crowds. Certain regions are repeatedly the site of fighting. Therefore, pay attention to the travel information of your government! Be careful in shady bars! Thailand’s cities are still a haven for tourists looking for cheap prostitutes. The responsibility for the transmission and contagion of sexually transmitted diseases rests with them. It is not uncommon for some to have lost their credit cards and passports. Malaria profile tax is particularly advisable for individual travelers. Please note the recommendations of the Tropical Institute.

Highlights

A tourist magnet is the Khaosan Road shopping street in Bangkok. The beaches and bays of the south are popular places for swimming and diving. Thailand has many temples that are worth seeing. The country is generally a popular starting point for tours in Southeast Asia.

Thai food

Thai cuisine is known for the wide range of different ingredients and types of preparation. It is not unusual to eat five times a day. Portions are often served that are smaller than common western meals. You should definitely try Kao Tom, a rice soup that is often eaten for breakfast. Enriched with chicken it is called Kao Tom Gai, with prawns Kao Tom Gung.
