About You

Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the late-20th to 21st centuries. Thailand is also the world leader in edible insect industry and well known for its street food; Bangkok is sometimes called the street food capital of the world. Thailand is a leading exporter of rice, and Thais consume over 100 kg of milled rice per person per year. The staple food is rice, particularly jasmine rice, which forms part of almost every meal. In 2017, seven Thai dishes appeared on a list of the \"World\'s 50 Best Foods\"—an online worldwide poll by CNN Travel—more than any other country. Several dance-pop artists are internationally successful like Lisa, Violette Wautier, Jeff Satur, and Tata Young. Major works include King Ram Khamhaeng Inscription describing life at the time, which is considered the first literary work in Thai script, but some historians question its authenticity.
Thailand was the most visited country in Southeast Asia in 2013, according to the World Tourism Organisation. In 2019, Thailand received 39.8 million international tourists, ahead of United Kingdom and Germany and was the fourth highest in international tourism earning 60.5 billion US dollars. Prior to the pandemic, Thailand was the world\'s eighth most visited country according to the World Tourism rankings compiled by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation. As of 2012, due to its favourable taxation for 2-door pick-ups at only 3–12% against 17–50% for passenger cars, Thailand was the second largest consumer of pick-up trucks in the world, after the US. As of 2025[update], the Thai automotive industry was the largest in Southeast Asia and the 12th largest in the world. In 2014, Credit Suisse reported that Thailand was the world\'s third most unequal country, behind Russia and India. It is the second largest economy in Southeast Asia after Indonesia, ranking midway in the wealth spread in Southeast Asia as the fourth richest nation according to GDP per capita.
Visit in mid-April to participate in Songkran (Thai New Year), which is celebrated with the world’s largest water fight, or come in November for Yi Peng, the world-famous lantern festival. There’s no denying Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, belongs at the top of this list. I’m no gambler, but as a professional travel writer who has been to every continent and nearly 100 countries, I can confidently say Thailand is the safest bet a traveler can make. Coming up with a list of cities, islands, and national parks to visit in Thailand isn’t hard.

Phuket is the largest airport with international flights, and Krabi is usually the cheaper option from Bangkok. (The airport is privately owned by Bangkok Airways and is one of the coolest airports I’ve ever visited.) Then, it’s easy to take a ferry to the other islands. (Si Satchanalai was the spiritual capital while Sukhothai was the political head of the first kingdom of Thailand.) For more things to do (including less touristy sites) in the Thai capital, read my detailed Bangkok Guide! The capital city boasts a sleek metro train system that makes it easy to get around. If islands are what you’re after, Ekelund calls Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park one of his favorite \"natural playgrounds.\" Because it’s protected, you’ll need to book a tour to explore this 42-island archipelago.
