Overview

Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, is an independent country that lies in the heart of South-East Asia. It is bordered to the north by Laos and Myanmar (Burma), to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and Myanmar. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast and Indonesia and India in the Andaman Sea to the southwest.

With great food, a tropical climate, fascinating culture and great beaches, Thailand is a magnet for travelers the world over.

Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in South-East Asia, and for a reason. Tourists can find almost anything here: thick jungle as green as can be and crystal blue beaches that feel more like a warm bath than a swim in the ocean. Exotic, yet safe; cheap, yet equipped with every modern amenity you need, there is something for every interest and every price bracket, from beach front backpacker bungalows to some of the best luxury hotels in the world. And despite the heavy flow of tourism, Thailand retains its quintessential Thainess, with a culture and history all its own and a carefree people famed for their smiles and their fun-seeking lifestyle. Many travelers come to Thailand and extend their stay well beyond their original plans and others never find a reason to leave.

This is not to say that Thailand doesn't have its downsides, including the considerable growing pains of an economy where an agricultural laborer is lucky to earn 100 baht per day while the nouveau riche cruise past in their BMWs, Bangkok, the capital, is notorious for its traffic jams, and rampant development has wrecked much of once-beautiful Pattaya and Phuket. In heavily touristed areas, some lowlifes have made scamming tourists into an art form.

Add here a long-simming tension between pro- and anti-government groups came to head in 2008, with the anti-government People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) first blockading several airports in the South for a few days in summer and in November taking over both of Bangkok's airports for a week, causing immense disruption to tourism and the Thai economy. However, while several protesters were killed or injured in scuffles, by and large the protests were peaceful and no tourists were harmed. Anyway, the situation still remains unstable, so keep an eye on the news and try to make your plans flexible.

Also take into account that the local climate is tropical and characterized by monsoons. There is a rainy, warm, and cloudy southwest monsoon from mid-May to September, as well as a dry, cool northeast monsoon from November to mid-March. The southern isthmus is always hot and humid.

And finally, you should remember, that official calendar in Thailand is based on Eastern version of the Buddhist Era, which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian (Western) calendar. For example, the year AD 2009 is called 2552 BE in Thailand.

General information

Continent:Asia
Area:513,115 sq km (198,115 sq mi)
Capital:Bangkok
Government:Constitutional monarchy
Population:63,1 million
Languages:The official language of Thailand is Thai. It is the principal language of education and government and spoken throughout the country. The standard is based on the dialect of the Central Thai people, and it is written in the Thai alphabet, an abugida script that evolved from the Khmer script. Several other dialects exist, and coincide with the regional designations.

Thailand is also host to several other minority languages, the largest of which is the Lao dialect of Isan spoken in the northeastern provinces. In the far south, Yawi, a dialect of Malay, is the primary language of the Malay Muslims. Chinese dialects are also spoken by the large Chinese population. Numerous tribal languages are also spoken.

While English is a mandatory school subject, the number of fluent speakers remains very low, especially outside the cities.

You may not speak local languages or dialects, but you have to understand some taboos in Thailand. They include touching someone's head or pointing with the feet, as the head is considered the most sacred and the foot the dirtiest part of the body. Stepping over someone, or over food, is considered insulting. However, Thai culture as in many other Asian cultures, is succumbing to the influence of globalization with some of the traditional taboos slowly fading away with time.
Religions:Thailand is one of the most devoutly Buddhist countries in the world. According to the last census (2000) 94.7% of the total population are Buddhists of the Theravada tradition. Muslims are the second largest religious group in the country (4.6%). Christians, mainly Catholics, represent 0.75% of the population. A tiny but influential community of Sikhs in Thailand and some Hindus also live in the country's cities.
Time:GMT +7
Currency:Thai baht (THB)
Electricity:220V / 50Hz (American and / or European plug)
Calling Code:+66

Visas:Ordinary passport holders of many Western and Asian countries, including the United States, Canada, most European Union countries, Russia, most ASEAN countries, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia, do not need a visa if their purpose of visit is tourism.

Visitors arriving by air receive 30-day permits (except for citizens of Korea, Brazil and Peru who get 90 days), but effective December 15, 2008, those arriving by land are only allowed 15 days. Thai immigration requires visitors' passports to have a minimum of 6 months validity and at least one completely blank visa page remaining. Visa-on-arrival is available at certain entry points for passport holders of 20 other nations, including India and China. By law, you must carry your passport with you at all times.

Overstaying in Thailand is quite risky. If you make it to Immigration and are less than 10 days over, you'll probably be allowed out with a fine of 500 baht per day. However, if for any reason you're busted overstaying by regular cops — and drug raids etc. are fairly common — you'll be carted off to the notoriously unpleasant illegal immigrant holding pens and may be blacklisted from Thailand entirely. For most people it's not worth the risk: get a legal extension or do a visa run to the nearest border instead.
Airports:Located 30 kilometres (19 miles) to the east of Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) started operations in September 2006 and is now Bangkok's main airport as well as the busiest airport in Southeast Asia, used by all international flights as well as all Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, Air Asia, SGA Airline and PBair domestic flights. There is only one terminal building, which covers both domestic and international flights, but it's huge (by some measures the world's largest) so allow time for getting around.

Don Muang Airport (DMK), 20 km north of downtown, was Bangkok's main airport until 2006. The airport currently handles Nok Air and One-Two-GO domestic flights, but the former international terminal is now limited to charters and general aviation.

The second busiest airport in Thailand in terms of passengers, after Suvarnabhumi Airport, is Phuket International Airport (HKT). The airport plays a major role in Thailand's tourism industry, as Phuket Island is a very popular resort destination.

The major gateway to the north of Thailand is Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX). Hat Yai International Airport (HDY) is the major southern air hub.
