It is bordered to the north by Burma and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Burma. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast and Indonesia and India in the Andaman Sea to the southwest.

The largest city in Thailand is Bangkok, the capital, which is also the country's centre of political, commercial, industrial and cultural activities.

Thailand has a prevalence of Buddhism that ranks among the highest in the world. The national religion is Theravada Buddhism which is practiced by more than 94.7% of all Thais. Muslims make up 4.6% of the population and 0.7% belong to other religions.

Thai culture and traditions have been shaped by many influences, including Chinese, Lao, Burmese, Cambodian, and Indian.

Thailand experienced rapid economic growth between 1985 and 1995 and is a newly industrialized country with tourism, due to well-known tourist destinations such as Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai, and exports contributing significantly to the economy. Unfortunately detracting from the real Thailand is that of  sex tourism in Thailand. We certainly hope this cleans up one day.
