"More unbiased information on Thailand travel than any site we've seen." -  Lonely Planet guide book for Bangkok HIGHLIGHTS If you have never been to Thailand before then please visit Highlights of Thailand. Many of these have been sent in by visitors to our site, but we have also included highlights from the top guide books and example real tours of Thailand. "You will be hard pressed to find a better online guidebook for Thailand anywhere else." Bangkok Post

"Sawatdee!" Welcome to our online guidebook about Thailand. We are teenagers from Thailand who want to show you about our country. On our web site you will find lots of information and pictures about Thailand. We are different to other web sites because we are not paid to say good things about hotels and tours. We just tell you the way we see it. If we think a place is expensive or somewhere is not worth visiting then we will tell you. The reason we are making this online guidebook, is that we want to show people how beautiful Thailand really is. Most people think about Thailand as having only drugs & girls. That's really NOT TRUE. Thailand is worth more than that. We have lots of very beautiful beaches, islands, views etc. We also have a very interesting culture. We have chatted on ICQ with some people who think Thailand is not safe but really our country is just as safe as other countries. We also have had lots of e-mail from people asking for pictures and information about places to visit in Thailand. All of this is why we are working on this web site. We can say in a short sentence: "We want to show the real Thailand to people around the world". We think it is working because people write to us saying that they now want to come and visit our country. We hope you enjoy all our fun hard work.

"A virtual gateway to Thailand, with articles on Thai lifestyle, history and culture." Bangkok Metro

If you only have a few days in Bangkok, we recommend you at least visit the Grand Palace, the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and take a ride on the long-tail boats on the Thonburi canals during your first day. The next day visit Jim Thompson's House for typical Thai houses and artifacts, the Erawan Shrine for Thai dancing and then wander down Sampeng Lane in Chinatown for atmosphere and shopping. [more]
