Well, Thailand’s beaches have certainly got a lot of attention this year, although much of the media spin hasn’t been exactly fair. I’m talking, of course, about the big wave. Don’t fret though, gentle reader, that was months ago and things are back to normal now. You’re pretty unlikely to notice much change in Phuket and it was the west coast and the rest of the country is fine. Indeed, down south they just want the tourists back so everyone can get on with their lives and forget about the whole thing.

The central area
Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a fascinating mix of East and West, traditional and modern. Buddhist temples along with great shopping and nightlife attract millions of visitors every year. Ayutthaya, the Thai capital from 1350 to 1767, and only 76 kilometers from Bangkok is the most interesting historical site in the country.

It is best visited by boat from the centre of town and makes for a good day out.

The province of Kanchanaburi, to the north-west of Bangkok, has some wonderful scenary and is also the site of the infamous Death Railway and the Bridge over the River Kwai.
