The Kingdom of Thailand covers an area of 514,000 square kilometers and lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, roughly equidistant between India and China. It shares borders with Myanmar to the west and north, Laos to the northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south.

Topographically the country is divided into four distinct areas: the mountainous north, fertile central plains, semi arid plateau of the northeast and peninsula of the south – distinguished by its many beautiful tropical beaches and offshore islands.
