 The
kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart of Southeast
Asia, making it a natural gateway to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China. Its
shape and geography divide into four natural regions : the mountains and forests
of the North, the vast rice fields of the Central Plains; the semi-arid farm lands
of the Northeast plateau; and the tropical islands and long coastline of the peninsula
South. Thais are well-known for their friendliness and hospitality. A large majority
of over 62 million citizens of Thailand are ethic
Thai, along with strong communities whose ethnic origins lie in China, India and
elsewhere. About 7 million people reside in the capital city of Bangkok.
