Thailand is a popular tourist destination, not only for the diversity of its landscapes, but also for its culture, traditions and people.

The Kingdom boasts a wealth of flora and fauna, including a seabed that attracts divers from all over the world. This chapter presents the many facets of the land of smiles, from its cultural specificities, such as Thai boxing and the art of massage, to its excellent gastronomy, as well as the fascinating history of the former Kingdom of Siam. While it retains ancient traditions, such as the practice of Buddhism and respect for the royal family, Thailand is above all a modern, dynamic country, with a strong economy and innovative artistic expressions.
