ATS Tours - Asia 2008 - (Page 18) ^ Floating Markets, Bangkok TAT ^ Royal Palace & Temple, Bangkok FOCUS Thailand ON The Kingdom of Thailand embraces a rich diversity of cultures and traditions, from the mountains and forests of the North, to the vast rice fields of the Central Plains and East Coast, the archaeologically-rich Northeast, and the tropical islands and stunning coast of the South. Visiting Bangkok, home to 7 million people, don’t miss the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha — or the chance to bargain in the city’s many markets. Steeped in history, Chiang Mai is a blend of past and present, with traditional heritage and culture. Chiang Rai is a traveler’s paradise of magnificent scenery, ancient ruins, historic sites, Buddhist shrines and ethnic villages. Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, boasts limestone cliffs, white powdery beaches, tranquil broad bays, tropical inland forests — and worldrenowned diving. With its proud history, tropical climate and genuine hospitality, Thailand is a never-ending source of fascination and pleasure!
