Thailand – Cities, History, and Natural Landscapes

Thailand offers a wide range of landscapes and cultural settings, from dense urban centres to remote forests and wetlands. The country’s geography stretches from river-based lowlands and coastal plains to mountainous regions in the north, creating diverse environments shaped by history, agriculture, and trade.

Urban and historic centres such as Bangkok and Ayutthaya reflect layers of political, religious, and everyday life, while archaeological sites in the southeast point to earlier Khmer influence across the region. In northern Thailand, hill tribe communities continue to live in upland areas where traditional practices remain closely connected to the land.

Alongside its cultural heritage, Thailand is home to important protected areas. National parks such as Khao Yai, Kaeng Krachan, and the wetlands of Khao Sam Roi Yot support rich biodiversity and offer a contrast to the country’s urban and agricultural landscapes.

This page brings together photographic galleries from different regions of Thailand. Each destination is presented as a standalone place, focusing on landscape, cultural context, and everyday scenes rather than on a single travel route or journey.
