Book excerpt: Thailand is one of the world’s most popular travel destinations for many very good reasons: friendly people, warm climate, sandy beaches, clear sea, stunning landscape, fascinating culture, spicy food, colorful nightlife. The list goes on. Alone amongst Southeast Asian nations, Thailand escaped the yoke of colonialism. Ninety-five percent of the Thai people are Buddhist and have their own unique and usually easy-going attitude to life. Mai pen rai (never mind) is a favorite phrase. So is sanuk mai? (having fun?) Thailand is a great country to explore, from the mountains and hill tribes of the north, to the excitement of the capital of Bangkok, and the sun, sea, and sand of the south. With a portfolio of superb photographs, Thailand: A Travel Adventure gives the reader a taste of what to expect in this fabulous and ancient Asian kingdom.
