In the heart of Southeast Asia, Thailand gives travelers an exotic destination that spreads from the coastlines of the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, and up through the mountainous terrain to the north near the Burma and Laos borders. From charming inns, Boutique Hotels in Bangkok to grand resorts, hotels in Thailand are located in the bustling cities of Bangkok and Pattaya to other popular tourist destinations like Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Ko Samui. The cities are characterized by a unique blend of modern and historic architecture while the smaller towns, villages, and countrysides often feature a quieter, more agriculturally-based way of life.
