Thailand Description:
The Kingdom of Thailand known as a Thailand is an independent country which lies in the heart of Southeast Asia. The north of the country is mountainous, with the highest point being Doi Inthanon at 2,565 metres above sea level. The northeast, Isan, consists of the Khorat Plateau, bordered to the east by the Mekong River. The centre of the country is dominated by the predominantly flat Chao Phraya river valley, which runs into the Gulf of Thailand. The south consists of the narrow Kra Isthmus that widens into the Malay Peninsula.
The Andaman Sea is regarded as Thailand's most precious natural resource as it hosts the most popular and luxurious resorts in Asia. Phuket, Krabi, Ranong, Phang Nga and Trang and their lush islands all lay along the coasts of the Andaman Sea.
Thailand is a perfect dive destination for beginners and professionals. Phuket, Krabi, Ko Samui, Ko Pha Ngang and Pattaya are perfect for beginners. If you want to experience something more you should visit Trang region, Similan Islands and Surin Islands which offer better diving, with better visibilities and better coral and marine life. Diving here is absolutely fantastic with many different types of fish and many different types of dives.
You can dive in Thailand all year round but there are times that diving is impossible at some places. The Gulf of Thailand is hit by monsoons between November and April, while diving in the Andaman Sea is the best during these months. Water temperatures range from 20 in the north to 29 degrees in the south.
