AMAZING THAILAND: สาํ หรับงานแต่งงานปลายทาง
Thailand has always been on everyone's traveling wishlist. It is one of the cheapest heavens, one can ever visit. Located just above the equator, Thailand is wedged into the Indochina peninsula with neighbors Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. The country has an arm that extends out to Malaysia. Thailand literally translates into two meanings, including "land of the free," since Thai means free, and "land of the Thais," referring to the ethnic group.
Bangkok, the capital city is full of contrasting scenes: ancient temples and modern shopping malls, and Buddhist monks and patrons of Patpong (Bangkok's red light district) share the city's streets. People in Thailand are known for their hospitality and for being very nice to tourists -- hence the high number of tourists in Thailand. It is often the case that locals will stop people in the streets and strike up conversations.
Thailand is perfect for an unforgettable dream wedding. With the Andaman Sea to the west and the Gulf of Thailand to the east, Thailand has hundreds of beautiful beach wedding venues. Some popular destinations besides Bangkok are Krabi, Hua Hin, and Phuket, Rayong, Pattaya, and Koh Samui.
