|  | WHERE TO GO There are five regions of Thailand: North, Northeast, East, Central, and   South, which are divided into 75+1 provinces, each geographically distinct from   the others; each Thailand province contains unique cultural, historical, and   natural attractions from the northern peaks (replete with wildlife and home to   exotic hill tribes) and the central plains (the “Rice Bowl of Asia”) to the   northeastern plateau (stretching to the Mekong River border with Laos) and the   spectacular beaches and islands of the south (including both Phuket and Samui).  This Thailand travel guide can help you plan where to go by providing   information about dining and accommodation, Thailand tourist attractions,   regional festivals and events, different activities in each of the Thailand   provinces, and unique shopping products produced in different regions of   Thailand.
