Serenity, peace and spirituality are words to describe the beautiful and rich country of Thailand. With its lush and vibrant countryside, to the hustle of the capital city, Thailand is an exciting and at the same time relaxing tourist destination. You can find a variety of travel deals on the Expedia website. Take a trip to Bangkok with its outdoor markets and delicious smells and visit the Royal Palace, an awe-inspiring architecture of massive proportions. Be sure not to miss out on the Reclining Buddha or the spirituality of the Buddhist monks roaming about the city. They are friendly and will love to speak to you about their lifestyle and love for their country. Bangkok at night is full of energy and vigor. Sit outdoors and eat some wonderful, aromatic Pad Thai before heading out to the beauty and massage parlors for some extremely inexpensive facials, manicures and of course, the infamous Thai massage—you will be stretched out more than any Yoga class you can take. For those wishing a tropical vacation of sitting around the beach and doing absolutely nothing, head to one of Thailand’s popular islands--maybe a week in Phuket where you will just let the sand slip between the toes and listen to the light wind rustle the trees. Adventure also awaits: try white water rafting, especially during rainy season when the waters will be flowing heavily. For all those active travelers, there is plenty of hiking within the mountains of the country. During rainy season, you will find gorgeous growth of greenery surrounding your every step.

The Thai embrace their culture and love their country, which is evident in every Buddhist temple you will pass, every carefully prepared meal of Thai cuisine and every smile you will encounter. Thailand is a very special country that Westerners should experience.
