LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHY
Thailand shares borders with Burma to the West North-West, Laos to the North and East, Cambodia to the South-East and Malaysia to the South. The South China Sea becomes the Gulf of Thailand on it’s East side while to the West is the Andaman Sea and Indian Ocean.
The geography of Thailand, varies between it’s four regions from forested mountains and fertile valleys in the North and Central areas to the relatively flat infertile Isaan plateau. There is also some of the most amazing seascapes in the world to be found along Thailand’s extensive coastal areas such as Phang-nga and Krabi Provinces. Central Thailand is known as the rice bowl, through which four rivers join to create the Chaopraya River, which in turn flows into the gulf of Thailand passing Bangkok along the way.
