Friendly and food-obsessed, hedonistic and historic, cultured and curious, Thailand tempts visitors with a smile as golden as the country's glittering temples and tropical beaches. Sip sunset cocktails on beautiful Railay Beach or hunt for souvenirs at the Chiang Mai night bazaar; hit the Bangkok bars or browse the Floating Market; party until dawn at Koh Phi Phi and drink fresh coconut water in Koh Samui; explore the lush green jungles of Pai and the North; get spiritual at Wat Arun or explore the ruins of Sukhothai Old City, Thailand's ancient former capital.
