Thailand:
Thailand is located in the centre of South East Asia. The South
China Sea is on one side, the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean are to
the Western side.
Thailand shares borders with Burma to the West North-West, Laos to
the North and East, Cambodia to the South-East and Malaysia to the
South. The geography of
Thailand, varies between the four regions, which are, North, North
East, Central and South. Northern areas consist of forested mountains
and fertile valleys.
The North East is known as I-saan and is mostly a flat unfertile plateau
but is home to a rich and interesting culture. Central
Thailand is known as the rice bowl, through which four rivers join
to create the Chaopraya River, which in turn flows into the gulf of
Thailand passing Bangkok along the way. The South of
Thailand includes some of
Thailand most spectacular scenery ranging from thick jungled
mountains, beautiful tropical islands and bays dotted with limestone
karst, which tower into the sky above clear blue seas.
