Imaginary Thailand
Thailand is a hot favourite tourist destination, a dreamy beachside paradise. It is at the centre of the Indochinese peninsula in Southeast Asia. It boasts of a luxuriously long coastline and more than 1400 jungle-topped islands surrounded with sapphire waters. It is the most favourite tropical getaway for vacationers all over the world. Thailand’s busy, frenetic capital Bangkok, is bustling with life and is the quintessential Asian capital. Sitting 14 degrees above Equator, Bangkok is warm at any time of the year with temperatures over 30°C. It is also one of the hottest cities in the world. You can enjoy magnificent temples and palaces, authentic canals, busy markets and a vibrant nightlife in the city. If you wish to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, you can head to the meditation retreats in Chiang Mai, the underground cave shrines in Kanchanaburi and Phetchaburi, or the hilltop temples in northern Thailand. The water lovers can snorkel the gentle waters off Ko Lipe, dive with whale sharks around Ko Tao, scale the sea cliffs of Krabi, or kiteboard in Hua Hin. The best time to visit Thailand is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. The currency is the Thai Baht (THB or ฿) which equals INR 2.35-2.40(fluctuates).
