A constitutional monarchy formerly known as Siam, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian nation to have not been colonized by European powers. Known for its lush island resorts, Buddhist temples, and the vibrant capital of Bangkok, the country offers much more for adventurers willing to explore its diverse ecological regions. Swim with whale sharks, rock climb limestone cliffs, ride an elephant through the jungle, visit the hill-tribes of the north, or just enjoy the hospitality and cuisine of a country known as the "land of smiles."
