Charming, accessible, and full of tropical graces, Thailand draws millions of travelers each year to its corner of Southeast Asia. Ecological treasures like beautiful beaches, forests with waterfalls, and cheery orchids are ready to be discovered here. Even in raucous Bangkok, a glinting Buddha or an ornate temple can be found amidst the maze of human construction and bustling markets. The Thai people are proud of their cultural heritage and their country (which has never been colonized) while embracing the “mai pen rai” approach to life, meaning “no worries.” After spending some time in Thailand, travelers can’t help but take away a bit of this attitude as well.
