Geography of Thailand
The country is divided into four main geographic regions. The northern region is characterized by mountainous terrain, containing the origins of several river systems and a cooler climate. The northeast, known as Isaan, is predominantly a high plateau, the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River; it is the driest area of the country. Central Thailand, the country's rice bowl, is a fertile plain dominated by the Chao Phraya River system, which flows into the Gulf of Thailand. This area includes Bangkok, the bustling capital and economic heartland.
Southern Thailand consists of a narrow peninsula that stretches towards Malaysia, featuring stunning beaches and islands along its coasts on the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. Thailand's diverse landscapes support a rich variety of ecosystems and wildlife. The climate is tropical, with a rainy, monsoon season from July to October. These geographical and climatic conditions have made Thailand a major tourist destination known for its natural beauty, biodiversity, and vibrant culture.

Brief History of Thailand
The history of Thailand, previously known as Siam until 1939 (and briefly during 1945-49), can be traced back to the founding of the Kingdom of Sukhothai in the 13th century, considered by many as the first unified Thai Kingdom. It was succeeded by the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 14th century, which became a regional power thanks to its strategic location between China, India, and the Malay Archipelago. Despite being a flourishing center for commerce and culture, Ayutthaya was destroyed by Burmese invasions in the 18th century.
The current Chakri dynasty, established in 1782, moved the capital to Bangkok and played a pivotal role in modernizing the country, navigating colonial threats and advancing education, government structures, and infrastructure. The 20th century saw significant changes with the transition from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy in 1932, ushering an era of political instability marked by coups and several constitutions.
Despite these challenges, Thailand has experienced substantial economic and social growth, especially post-World War II, becoming a notable player in Southeast Asia.
