FLIGHTS AND TRAVEL GUIDE

Overview

Thailand’s natural gifts were highlighted by the movie, The Beach that starred Leonardo Di Caprio. It was shot by 2oth Century Fox in Ko Phi Phi Ley—a stunning strip of white sand beach surrounded by huge land formations. It’s like a huge, isolated world that has not been touched by man. Aside from this piece of paradise, there are other gifts that Thailand is very proud of.

Thailand has amazing diving sites,  lush, tropical islands, white, sandy beaches, hill tribes, archeological sites, museums, Buddhist temples and of course, awesome World Heritage sites that definitely haul in tourists from all over the world.
