OVERVIEW:

Thailand is one of the most sought-after destinations in Southeast Asia, offering an affordable and convenient standard of living. Often called the ‘Land of Smiles’, Thailand has a population of 68 million people known for their friendly disposition. Its capital city, Bangkok, offers an exciting urban lifestyle on a global metropolitan scale. Thailand has been widely cited as a development success story, moving from a low-income to an upper income country in less than one generation.
