ThailandWelcome to Travel Guide 2 Thailand, the site about travel, tourism and vacations in Thailand. The Kingdom of Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia. It is bordered to the East by Laos and Cambodia, to the West by Myanmar, and to the South by Malaysia. Thailand also has coasts of the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. Thailand has several distinct geographical regions:
Thailand is a newly industrialized country, and had the world's highest growth rate, of nearly 9% per annum from 1985 to 1995. However, the Thai currency, the baht, came under pressure in 1997 (triggering a wider Asian financial crisis), causing it to be devalued to less than 50% of its previous value (as compared to the US dollar), and the economy to shrink by more than 10% in a single year. Since then, the Thai economy has bounced back led by exports and a domestic recovery program dubbed "Thaksinomics" (after the 2001 to 2006 Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra).
