Thailand Information

Thailand or Siam as it was called until 1939, has never been colonized by a foreign power, while all of its South East Asian neighbours have under-gone European imperialism, or more recently, ideological domination by communism - which originated in Europe.

At one time or another, true, it has suffered periodic invasions on the part of Burmese and the Khmers and was briefly occupied by the Japanese in WW II, but the Kingdom was never externally controlled long enough to dampen the Thai serious individualism.

Although the Thais are often depicted as Fun-Loving, Happy-go-Lucky folk, they are also very strong-minded and have struggled for centuries to preserve their independence and spirit.

This is not to say that Thailand has much to interest the traveller : historic, culture, lively art, exotic islands, nightlife a tradition of friendliness and hospitality to strangers. Travel in this tropical country is fairly comfortable and down-to-earth, rail, bus and air travel network is extensive and every place worth visiting.
