Thailand 'is hospitable but still adventurous'
11 February 2010 09:00
Thailand is the ideal destination to head to if you like the idea of an exciting experience holiday, but secretly quite fancy a luxurious hotel too.
Joanna Cooke, spokesperson for the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said you can still get off the beaten track during daytime excursions, but have the added attraction of going back to one of the country's many top-notch hotels to sleep and eat.
"The Thai hospitality and the service that you get there automatically adds an extra star to where you are staying," she enthused.
Joanna recommended checking out some of its many temples while on a holiday there, as they are a great way to learn about its diverse cultures.
According to TAT figures published last week, more than 630,000 people from the UK went to Thailand between January and November 2009.
