THAILAND
The healthcare and medical treatment facilities within Thailand’s major cities are excellent. The technical equipment and medical expertise is abundant. Most hospitals within Bangkok have English-speaking doctors and nurses, with Western medical training, who will provide ample attention to all of your needs. Procedures are all very well organized, and you will feel in good hands altogether when going for treatment.
Kingdom of Thailand draws more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia with its irresistible combination of breathtaking natural beauty, inspiring temples, renowned hospitality, robust cuisine and ruins of fabulous ancient kingdoms. Few countries are so well endowed.
Thailand lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, making it a natural gateway to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China. Its shape and geography divide into four natural regions : the mountains and forests of the North; the vast rice fields of the Central Plains; the semi-arid farm lands of the Northeast plateau; and the tropical islands and long coastline of the peninsula South.
From the stupa-studded mountains of Mae Hong Son and the verdant limestone islands of the Andaman Sea, to the pulse-pounding dance clubs of Bangkok and the tranquil villages moored along the Mekong River, Thailand offers something for every type of traveler.
Thailand embraces a rich diversity of cultures and traditions. With its proud history, tropical climate and renowned hospitality, the Kingdom is a never-ending source of fascination and pleasure for international visitors.
Bangkok
Bangkok has dominated Thailand's urban hierarchy as well as its political,
commercial and cultural life since the late 18th century. Although
you can shop in air-conditioned comfort in its Western-style malls,
the city is a long way from being tamed by commercial homogeneity.
Bangkok proper seethes on the east side of the Mae Nam Chao Phraya
(Chao Phraya River), drawing rural Thai folk into its cluttered fold
daily.
Over the last few decades, Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, has changed
into a modern, exciting and sophisticated city. It offers to visitors
not only the cosmopolitan amenities they would expect from other big
cities, but also a unique treasure trove of cultural attractions. Thailand,
in the heart of Southeast Asia, was never colonized and thus kept its
unique culture and heritage intact. Bangkok offers visitors the opportunity
to experience fascinating glimpse of Thailand's gentle culture amidst
the bustle of a great and dynamic metropolis. This great city has had
astounding success in combining the ancient and modern world.
For tourists, Bangkok has a feast of attractions to offer. The city
is dotted with 400 glittering Buddhist temples of great beauty and
fascination, magnificent palaces, classical dance extravaganzas, numerous
shopping centers and traditional ways of life, especially along the "Venice
of the East" timeless canals and the Chao Phraya River of the "River
of Kings" winding through the city. It is worth taking a trip
along its waters before exploring further into different canals to
take a glimpse of old Bangkok.
