.
Thailand can be easily divided into five regions, the North, North-East, Central, East and the South.
.
The North
- Live amongst the hill tribes, experience century old values and trek through some of Asia's most hostile landscape.
The North-East
- Life on the Mekong River. Check out remote villages, historic temples and some of the friendliest people in Thailand .
Central Thailand
- Immerse yourself in the history of Siam in the many former capital cities. Learn about the different ruling dynasties and, of course, the heart-attack formerly known as Bangkok!
The East
- International resorts and secluded bays sit side by side. Spectacular coastline which leads to the Cambodian border dotted with small islands.
The South

- Untouched islands, paradise beaches and some of the world's best diving.


The
country's richest sources of cultural history can be seen in the North and North-East where hill tribes are still holding on to the traditional values of Thai society.

The central region, in and around Bangkok, is home to many former capital cities where historic buildings and relics are well preserved to give a good insight into the history of the many dynasties which have ruled The Kingdom of Siam.

For golden sand beaches and paradise islands head south along the Gulf of Thailand (East Coast) or the Andaman Sea (West Coast).
