The Coast
Lush, green forest vegetation extending down to limestone cliffs
and pure white beaches lapped by warm, turquoise waters, the coast
of Thailand is a tropical paradise with spectacular waterfalls and
coconut palms bending towards the sun. The tranquillity and natural
splendour of the Thai coast and its islands belongs in the realm of
fantasy.
The East Coast stretches 300 miles (500km) down from the mouth
of the Chao Phraya River to the Cambodian border, and plays host to
the disappointingly overdeveloped beach resort of Pattaya, as well
as the idyllic splendour of the islands of Ko Chang and Ko Samet.
Along the eastern shores of the Kra Peninsula lie the beaches of
Cha'am and Hua Hin, once a favoured get-away for the royals and
Thailand's oldest beach resort. Further down are the popular island
resorts of Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan. West of the peninsula is the
island of Phuket, which is rapidly becoming the most popular beach
destination in Thailand, offering beautiful sea vistas and
spectacular accommodation.

Language
Thai is the official language, although English is widely

Money
The unit of currency is the Baht (THB), which is divided
into 100 satang. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, banks,
hotels and bureaux de change. Banks are open Monday to Friday. ATMs
are available in most cities and tourist resorts. Most large hotels
and shops accept travellers cheques, but a better rate will be
given at banks. Most major credit cards are accepted at hotels and
larger businesses.
