"The water is the true home of the Siamese, and it is on this, their native element, that their real character and genius are best exhibited ..." 
Thailand is one of the safe country around the globe especially for tourists through out the Kingdom, with the utmost infrastructure for travelling around.
A lot of first time visitors with differ interests, purposes and budget coming in the Kingdom around the year most of them would like to see as much as possible special the famous and welknown places, so they spend a lot of time for travelling from one Province to the other in Thailand.
There are more than 2,000 Kilometers long of beaches around this country in the South, and also along the Eastcoast. So if you like beach and in Bangkok just go to the next near one like Bangsaen, Pattaya, Rayong in the East or Cha-Am, Hua-Hin gateway to the southern region.
The soaring roofs and gleaming spires of the Grand Palace and the city’s many historic temples "Temple of the Emerald Buddha", Temple of Dawn and other shrines, present the visitor with a picture of medieval Oriental wonder; the very stuff of Eastern fairytales. and contained within Bangkok’s monuments and sights are treasures of the nation’s artistic and cultural endeavour that typify the land and the people.
The influence of the past and the enduring threads of the social structure are continue to influence daily life. Pictures of saffron-robed monks making their early morning alms round, for example, present an image unaltered in essentials by the passing of time.
Today’s backdrop of highrise buildings serve only to emphasize the exotic and timeless scene, while the city draws definition from it.
Indeed, there is much to discover, and in addition to the city’s most famous monuments there are numerous lesser known sights of great interest.
The Chapel of the Emerald Buddha, which enshrines the national palladium, rightly tops the sightseeing list, but Bangkok numbers more than 400 temples, many of which have their own fascination.
A similar selection can be made with museums. The National Museum is excellent and comprehensive, but as impressive in their own way are Wimanmek Mansion, Suan Pakkad Palace, M.R. Kueklit Pramote House, Baan Khamtieng and the Jim Thompson House, all of which house fine art collections within noteworthy settings.
Not least, cruising the Chao Phraya river and the remaining canals which once made Bangkok to the "Venice of the East" offers a glimpse of traditional riverine lifestyles, affording insights into the history and character of this wondrous city
There are more than 400 Wats ( Buddhist Monastery) in Krungthep (Bangkok) and around when you are in the area at least you should visit Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace , the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and take boat ride along the Thonburi canals, Chinatown for atmosphere and may be shopping, touch the original Thai's Life at the Weekend-Floatingmarket in Bangkok like Taling Chan, or world biggest weekend market at Jatu-Jak.
A day of temple sightseeing could be followed by a relaxing cruise on the Chao Phraya river, or a round of golf at any one of several splendid courses on Bangkok’s green outskirts.
Museum treasures can be complemented by a wealth of shopping, while traditional entertainments, from kick boxing to classical dance, are balanced by discos and jazz pubs.
Both Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi can be visited on full-day excursions, although with the latter a stay of one or two nights is recommended for a full appreciation of the scenic beauty of the countryside.
The beach resorts of Pattaya, Cha-am and Hua Hin can be similarly visited on full-day trips, but again most visitors prefer overnight stays.
Shopping, dining out and sampling Bangkok’s legendary nightlife provide ample evening options.
