World Travel Guide

Thailand is one of the best place for traveling is located in South-East Asia. It edges Burma to the north-west, Laos the north-east, Cambodia to the south-west and Malaysia to the south. The history of Thailand was founded in Sukhothai in 1238 ruled by the king Ramkhamhaeng in the 14th century later it got defeated and comes under kingdom of Ayutthaya. Now they are governing the Present Thailand, Laos and Cambodia as well.
In September 2006, a swift and bloodless military coup subverted democrat king Thaksin Shinawatra's democratically elected but widely criticized government, exposing a fault line between the urban elite that has ruled Thailand and the rural masses that supported Thaksin. Thaksin went into exile and a series of unstable governments followed, with the successors of Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party and the royalist-conservative People's Alliance for Democracy duking it out both behind the scenes and, occasionally, out in the streets, culminating in Bangkok's airports being seized and shut down for a week in November 2008. As of 2009, things have quieted down, but the political scene remains in flux and the direction of the country once the ailing King passes away is a question mark.
