Thailand: A story shaped by many cultures

Thailand is the perfect gateway to Southeast Asia. Golden temples, paradisiacal beaches, mountains with ethnic tribes, and a cuisine that is a journey in itself. From the chaos of Bangkok to the tranquility of northern temples, from the jungle of Chiang Mai to the islands of the south. A country that welcomes with open arms and an eternal smile.
