Geography The Kingdom of Thailand, covering an area of 514,000 square kilometres, lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, roughly halfway between India and China. It shares borders with Myanmar to the west and north, Lao P.D.R. to the north and northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south. Topography Thailand is divided into four distinct areas: the mountainous North, the fertile Central Plains, the semi-arid plateau of the Northeast, and the peninsula South, distinguished by its many beautiful tropical beaches and offshore islands.  Climate
Thailand lies within the humid tropics and remains hot throughout the year. In the North, Central Plains and Northeast there are 3 seasons; the cool season (November to February), the hot season (March-May), and the rainy season (June-October). In the South there are really only 2 seasons; the dry season (November to April) and the rainy season (May to October). Even during the rainy season it doesn't rain everyday and when it does rain the downpours rarely last for more than an hour and the sun comes out again. In the North, the cool season temperatures can drop to 17C so it is advisable to bring warmer clothing if you are visiting the area during this time. General daytime temperatures range from 29C to 36C. Population Thailand has a population of about 60 million. Ethnic Thais form the majority, though the area has historically been a migratory crossroads, and thus strains of Mon, Khmer, Burmese, Lao, Malay, Indian and most strongly, Chinese stock produce a degree of ethnic diversity. Integration is such, however, that culturally and socially there is enormous unity. Religion  Thailand is one of the
most strongly Buddhist countries in the world. The national religion
is Theravada Buddhism, a branch of Hinayana Buddhism, practiced by
more than 90%s.The remainder of the population adheres to lslam, Christianity, Hinduism and other faiths - all of which are allowed full freedom of expression. Buddhism continues to cast strong influence on daily life. Senior monks are highly revered. Thus, in towns and villages, the temple (wat) is the heart of social and religious life. Meditation, one of the most popular aspects of Buddhism, is practiced regularly by numerous Thais as a means of promoting inner peace and happiness. Visitors too can learn the fundamentals of this practice at several centres in Bangkok and elsewhere in the country.
