About Thailand
Thailand is located in Southeastern Asia, bordering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, southeast of Burma, with a central plain, the Khorat Plateau in the east, and mountains elsewhere. The climate is tropical with a rainy southwest monsoon from mid-May to September and a dry, cool northeast monsoon from November to mid-March, while the southern isthmus remains hot and humid year-round. Bangkok serves as the capital, and Thailand has a population of approximately 70.03 million people who primarily speak Thai.
