"Land of Smiles"

Overview

Thailand — the Land of Smiles — blends spiritual grandeur with sun-drenched islands, world-class street food, and a warmth that is uniquely Thai. Bangkok's 400 glittering temples and chaotic tuk-tuks give way to Chiang Mai's lantern festivals and elephant sanctuaries, Krabi's limestone karsts, and the island-hopping paradise of the Gulf of Thailand. A single country, a dozen different trips.
