Here is a sample from my latest article for Latitudes webzine. It is a concise introduction to the different regions of Thailand with some name dropping of destinations. Three of the photos in the published article are mine and below are some more of my photos.
Thailand continues to be a prime destination and the gateway for travelers wanting to experience Southeast Asia. How is it that this country has continued to attract visitors despite its on-again off-again political struggles and notoriety as a wild red light pleasure destination.
For most the answer is simple, the laid back attitude and constant smiles of the Thai people transcend the occasional bad press. Add to this one of the best infrastructures in Southeast Asia, a well developed tourism industry, services attainable by any budget, and it’s no surprise that people keep flocking to the land of smiles and elephants.
