Useful Information About Thailand

Thailand, officially known as the Kingdom of Thailand and formerly known as Siam, is situated at the center of Southeast Asia, with Bangkok as its capital (or Krungthep, as commonly called by the Thai people). There are also many large cities in the different regions of Thailand which are popularly visited by tourists such as Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Chonburi, Songkhla and Phuket. Thailand is the world’s 51st largest country in terms of area and the 20th largest in terms of population. That’s why there are many nationalities residing in Thailand with each region having its own customs and cultures.

Weather and Landscape
Thailand has mixed geographical terrains. In the north of the country is a mountainous area which gradually levels off to a flat river valley in the center of the country, while the south consists of land extending out to the sea. Our climate varies also, the north consisting of cool mountainous air, the northeast hot and arid, the center humid, and monsoon climate in the south.

Easy Thai Language
Thai is the national language in Thailand. In the capital city or cities most frequented by tourists, English can always be spoken. However, some Thais don’t understand English at all, so it may be a good idea to learn some Thai expressions before you visit Thailand.
