discover the magical and passionate Land of Smiles on this exotic tour which includes all meals and sightseeing. The Kingdom of Thailand, formerly Siam, embodies all the fascination and charm of the Far east in one beautiful and historic land.
It is a country of remarkable contrasts from the semi nomadic hill tribes of the north to the sophisticated resorts of the south; from the jungle and rice paddies to the palm-fringed beaches and islands; from the rich heritage of a devout culture untouched by European colonisation to the endless traffic, noise and vibrant nightlife of Bangkok. Stunning bejewelled palaces and wats (temples) form the backdrop to all you see and do. And everywhere you go you will encounter the friendly welcome of the Thai people.
