Following the trend of electronic music festivals around the world, the Creative Electronic Music and Dance Festival began last year by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in collaboration with Department of Intellectual Properties, Ministry of Commerce and Karon Municipality. Phuket Electronic Music and Dance festival 2102 on Karon beach in conjunction with Karon beach New Year Countdown 2103 is another exciting event to attend to celebrate New Year 2013.

It's hard to imagine that it was only in 1971 when two backpackers on coconut boats arrived in Koh Samui -- a 228-square-kilometer island off the Eastern coast of Thailand.

With majestic limestone cliffs and outcroppings, large stretches of well-preserved wilderness, and a laid-back vibe, Krabi province, on Thailand’s southwest Andaman Sea coast, is ideal for travellers looking for a relaxing vacation in a wonderfully natural setting.

Thai history and culture comes alive in Lamphun, a relaxed and traditional northern Thai city that is filled with historic architecture from the Mon, Lanna and Chiang Mai eras.  Visitors to Thailand can explore the past in the bucolic provincial capital of Lamphun, the oldest city in the north, and one of the longest-inhabited settlements in all of Thailand.

A holiday in Thailand is all about trying new experiences. Blessed with plentiful sunshine and rich soil, Thailand offers you the chance to enjoy the flavours, textures and scents of a vast array of succulent and healthful tropical fruits.
