Thailand is one of the jewels of Southeast Asia. Known by some as “The Land of Smiles,” Thailand is renowned for their welcoming locals and cheerful hospitality.

While the country is well-developed with a modern flair, there are still some untouched lands with the most stunning natural scenery. Thailand is home to some of the most stunning beaches in the world, with turquoise waters, rugged cliffsides and lush greenery.

Thailand is also filled with more than 41,000 temples and many ancient ruins, a great way to get a glimpse of the splendor of its past.

Elephants are revered in Thailand: paintings and sculptures depict them all across the country, including palaces and temples. Khao Yai National Park is the perfect place to see wild elephants in their natural habitat or an elephant sanctuary where they are free to roam.

In the towns and cities, floating markets and street shopping offer local goods and a chance to experience the traditional way of life. Join Teen Travel Network on a journey through the magical country of Thailand!
