Thailand offers a massive variety of assets at a minimal price - a full variety of incredible cuisine often served in gorgeous outdoor settings; an intense collection of sights, from glittering, elegant temples to colourful floating markets to lunatic festivals; local people who are more relaxed and charming than they should be under seige by a planeloads of impolite, drunk and groping foreigners, but they keep on smiling, as the sun keeps on shining.

Thailand's beaches are huge, well serviced and in settings that are often strange but always comfortable, busy but relaxed. This country offers all kinds of holidays for all kinds of travellers on all kinds of budgets, from huts on a beach or a mountain to the best hotel in the world, Bangkok's Oriental, while the shopping is sensational - silks, tailor-made outfits in a couple of days, jewelry, wood carvings...

No question, this is one of Asia's best destinations and Bangkok is also a perfect base for travel to other Asian countries, but beware air pollution in north Thailand January-April:
The northern half of the country down to Bangkok and including Chiang Mai has been suffering severe air pollution over the last few years from January to April due to uncontrolled burning of vegetation by farmers, both in Thailand and Burma.
An email extract April: "By mid February we had sore streaming eyes, sore throats and a persistent cough and had to take anti histamines every day to control the symptoms. Some days the smog was so bad that people were advised to stay indoors and even just walking a couple of Kms to the restaurant brought ona  coughing fit". Don't go there at that time!
