There\u2019s always another story, there\u2019s always more than meets the eye. Yes, there\u2019s always more than what you hear about a place. But unfortunately, Thailand, the beautiful \u2018Land of Smiles\u2019, is popular among many Indians for all the cheeky reasons. Like any other country, Thailand has its highlights and challenges. So let\u2019s not get prejudiced and focus on the dark side, for Thailand is a lot more than what you think it is. The pristine beauty of its islands and beaches<\/a> is truly breathtaking and the local culture is something you would love to explore.<\/p>\n
