The kingdom of Thailand lies
in the heart of Southeast Asia, making it a natural gateway
to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China. Its shape and geography
divide into four natural regions : the mountains and forests
of the North; the vast rice fields of the Central Plains; the
semi-arid farm lands of the Northeast plateau; and the tropical
islands and long coastline of the peninsula South.
The country comprises 76 provinces that are further divided
into districts, subdistricts and villages. Bangkok is the capital
city and centre of political, commercial, industrial and cultural
activities. It is also the seat of Thailand's revered Royal
Family, with His Majesty the King recognised as Head of State,
Head of the Armed Forces, Upholder of the Buddhist religion
and Upholder of all religions. |
