Thailand is one of
Asia's most popular tourist destinations
and offers something for everyone. But
what makes it so popular?
Regular visitors are
asked what they enjoyed most about their
stay. Here's a short selection of why
they chose Thailand.
- The people.
Friendly, smiling, charming, polite
and graceful are the most common
descriptions. Thais also have an
infectious sense of fun and humor.
It really is pleasant to have so
many strangers offer a ready smile.
It's natural to smile back in
return. Suddenly, you are happy to
be here.
- The
hospitality.
It's no accident that many Thai
hotels feature in the Top 10 lists
of the world's best hotels. Whether
it's business, leisure, golf, spas,
or beach resorts, you'll see Thai
hotels at the top of most lists.
Thais are genuinely hospitable and
offer a level of service that's the
envy of their neighbors.
- The scenery.
Thailand's islands and beaches are
amongst the most scenic in the
world. The cities retain a
surprising amount of scenic
attractions including Wats (temples)
and Palaces. The National Parks
offer a tremendous variety of
tropical rainforests, hill-tribe
villages, coral reefs, mountains,
rivers and lakes. Whichever you
choose, you will not be
disappointed.
- The food.
Thai cuisine is world-renowned and
justifiably popular. Whilst the hot
spicy curries and soups are
trademark dishes, the fresh seafood,
crisp salads, fresh vegetables and,
of course, the rice and noodle
dishes are all very tasty. Then
there's the fruit, and the desserts,
and the . . You'll never go hungry!
- The value.
The Thai baht offers a favorable
rate of exchange for most major
currencies. This makes eating out,
traveling around, shopping, enjoying
the nightlife and even staying at
the world's leading hotels
surprisingly affordable.
Also safety, climate,
transport, nightlife, shopping, golf,
spas, diving, sailing, fishing,
trekking, rafting and so on. Visitors do
mention all of these, and they keep
coming back!
