Travel to Thailand with Saitirtha Tours & Travels

Thailand – The Land of Smiles

Thailand is a tropical country situated in the Indonesian peninsula. With laid back beaches along the coastline, bustling marketplaces wafting with irresistible aroma of gastronomical delights, countless sightseeing locations and world class resorts, Thailand is an impeccable location choice for families, couples as well as friends. As you travel further from the shore towards the inner parts of the country, densely forested hills welcome you in all their emerald glory. This offers a welcoming break from the sun, as tourists seek refuge in the cooler pockets of Thailand, which can easily be explored through thrilling trekking expeditions.
