Thailand, also called “The Land of Smiles,” is a comfortable place to start your travels through Southeast Asia. The happy country offers beaches, jungle and incredible food. Oh yeah, we’re going to pause on the food. Thai cuisine is not only limited to pad thai but varies according to the region. In the north, you’ll find warm and flavorful noodle soups like khao soi or tom yum. In the south, you’ll get more green papaya salads and sticky mango rice.
When you’re not stuffing your face at every hour of the day, Thailand is a comfortable place to travel as there’s a well-known backpacker circuit, friendly locals and an abundance of places to see.
