Travel promotions for many countries often include claims that the local people are warm and welcoming- whether it’s true or not. In the case of Thailand, however, this claim is well-founded. Indeed, Thailand has become known as the Land of Smiles.
It’s a nation whose cultural heritage is as rich and complex as its food is sumptuous. It is also a land of stunning imagery: white-sand beaches, gilded temples, and emerald-green rice terraces. Come to Thailand and discover its many riches- its food, its arts, its antiquities, its scenic splendors, and the kindly demeanor found in those who live there. Come to Thailand and bathe in the warmth of the land and its people.

Traveling the world with your family is like sharing a box filled with presents. The box is the world itself and the presents are the bonds that form through the experiences we share, and the perspective, patience, understanding, and tolerance we gain from expanding our horizons and seeing how other people live. There is no greater gift.
