As you leave your plane to enter Swarnabhumi (pronounced suwan- na-poom) Airport terminal at Bangkok you’re likely to get lost if you don’t keep your eyes on the signages! It’s only after you have entered the passenger terminal spread over 32 sq km, with seven storeys and 360 check-in counters that you realise that you’re in familiar
territory, as huge and colourful sculptures of Hindu mythological tales spring up all over.
    The most–visited country in South East Asia, Thailand has dazzling islands and beaches, wildlife and nature parks, lush and balmy weather, great shopping and food. Most importantly, Thailand is a country of people who are easy going and incredibly quick to smile.
    With a country that has so much to offer, at times it’s confusing for the tourist to decide what-to-see and what-to-miss.We choose 10 must-see places of Thailand for you.

BANGKOK
Modern, increasingly westernised, Bangkok still retains a somnambulant village air despite the

thrum of mega-traffic and mega-nightlife. Be prepared for traffic smog and be surprised as well by the smell of incense escaping from a temple. The exquisitely bejewelled Grand Palace should not be missed and if you have time also try to visit the beautiful Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho, where a huge golden reclining Buddha resides. If you’re adventurous enough, head for the infamous backpacker’s paradise Khao San Road, Chinatown’s alleyways and bazaars and the Patpong Night Market (set in the city’s notorious red light district).

THE FLOATING MARKET
Made famous by the Bond flick The Man With The Golden Gun, the floating market located in the Bangkok region is a major tourist attraction. Here if you want to buy something you can hail down a narrow long boat piled high with local produce: fruits, vegetables, local artifacts. The
market is a fun and photogenic experience, where visitors can get an idea of what trading was like in Thailand before the modernisation of the city.
