Thailand is often referred to as a golden land, not because there is precious metal buried underground, but because the country gives off a certain luster, be it the fertile rice fields of the central plains, white sandy beaches or the warm hospitality of its citizenry.
First introductions are made in Bangkok , a modern behemoth of screaming traffic, gleaming shopping centers and international sensibilities interwoven with devout Buddhism. Chiang Mai, the country's bohemian center, is where the unique and precise elements of Thai culture become a classroom for cooking courses and language lessons;. While climbing into the mountain ranges around Mae Hong Son you'll experience the stupa-studded peaks and villages of post-Stone Age cultures. Sliding down the coastal tail are the evergreen limestone islands of Ko Tao and Kho Phi Phi Don, filled with tall palms angling over pearlescent sand. Thailand 's beaches are stunning, hedonistic and mythic among residents of northern latitudes.
