Thai Hotels made simple Thai Hotel destinations
A holiday in Thailand can combine the beauty of the Golden Triangle's temples and remote hill tribes north of Chiang Mai, the beaches of Pattaya and more pristine Krabi, and the dynamic capital Bangkok with its futuristic high-rise buildings juxtaposed against the exquisite beauty of the gleaming Grand Palace. In every town and city bargain-hunters thrive in the street markets crammed with all manner of goods, where good-natured bartering is the norm.

BANGKOK OVERVIEW:
A curious blend of the traditional East with the modern West, every street in Bangkok holds a surprise. Ramshackle buildings crouch next to exotic temples surrounded by delightful gardens, which are in turn overlooked by modern hotels and offices. Traditional Thai life, however, is never very far away.
