Lately, even the tourist industry has taken leap forwards, with many hotels and modern resorts.

The capital of the beach entertainment and nightlife is Pattaya, one of the original and most popular resorts. Many of the thousands islands and beaches of Thailand are today developed and offering modern amenities, but there are still thousands more remote and untouched paradise destinations.
The capital of Thailand is Bangkok, a magical city for anyone who ever set foot there.
