Thailand would probably be my favourite of the countries I mentioned in the introduction. The country itself is so beautiful and there's lots to see and do.

The easiest ways to enter Thailand are Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) or Phuket International Airport (HKT).
Phuket

Phuket is an island province in the Andaman Sea just south of the Thai Mainland. It is an extremely popular as a tourist destination due to its climate and the beautiful beaches it has to offer. Phuket is famous for the limestone peaks in the sea.
The island used to be very quiet and peaceful but the western coast has been developed into tourist centres and Phuket City is on the east coast. There are still many quiet places though.
Below there are some pictures of Phuket and I will let them do the explaining.

Bangkok

Bamgkok is the Thai capital and is a very big and busy city. It is home to about 7 million people and is extremely polluted as a result. However, there are still many interesting things that can be found here such as the Grand Palace (centre left), Wat Arun (centre right) and the Giant Swing (bottom right).

This is a Buddhist temple located inthe centre of Bangkok. It is one of the most well-known temples in Thailand and is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. Each part of it represents a different symbol from Buddhist mythology.
Grand Palace

The Grand Palace was built in the late 1700's when the capital was moved from Ayuthaya to Bangkok. It was the seat of the kings of Thailand/Siam until the constitutional monarchy was established in 1932. Today it is only used for official state and royal events but it mainly functions as a tourist attraction.
Giant Swing

The Giant Swing is a religious monument located in the centre of Bangkok. It was constructed in 1782 and has been renovated several times due to weather damage. The most recent renovation was its entire reconstruction in 2005. It was reopened in a royal ceremony in 2007.
That pretty much sums up what you can see in Thailand and theres so much more but the blog would be really long if I did all of it...
