Asia is not only full of eastern promise for unforgettable holidays, it delivers on the promise \u2013 and how! Its countries resonate with mystery, intrigue, excitement and romantic allure.<\/p>

They immerse visitors with the heady appeal of their own exotic cultures, distinct cuisines, energetic cities, wondrous landscapes, fascinating history and gorgeous beaches. And they have been luring Europeans to their shores for centuries.<\/p>

Land of the Rising Sun, Land of Smiles, Island of the Gods, Lion City: even the descriptive soubriquets of some are enough to tantalise the senses and electrify the mind.<\/p>

If you haven\u2019t travelled to the Far East before, the most unimaginable treat awaits, and if you have been you will understand just why it leaves you longing to return again and again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

More than living up to its Land of Smiles moniker, Thailand is a country of friendly, welcoming and gracious people who make visitors feel at home. It is also a land of ornate temples and saffron-robed monks, forest-covered mountains, bustling cities, night markets, floating markets, ancient ruins and tropical islands with lavish hotels and exquisite beaches.<\/p>

Must-see sights in hectic capital Bangkok include its magnificent Grand Palace, Wat Arun Temple and Wat Pho Temple with its huge reclining Buddha statue. Take a long-tail boat trip along the Chao Praya River and go on a day trip from the city to see the UNESCO-listed ruins of former Siamese capital Ayutthaya.<\/p>

In the mountainous north lie enthralling Chiang Mai, where the remains of its historic walls and moats can be seen along with hundreds of temples, and Chiang Rai, near the border with Laos and Myanmar in an area of hill tribes.<\/p>

Among mainland beach resorts are cultured Hua Hin, a royal summer getaway for a century, and brash Pattaya, while resort islands Koh Samui, Phuket, Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi and others cater to everyone: couples, honeymooners, families, party animals and those craving a peaceful utopia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
