enjoy several days in a few places, and are energetic enough for some walking
each day, then a Roads2.Com travel tour is for you.
 The founders of Roads2.Com worked and traveled throughout the
world for over 30 years. And during that time, they were
involved with infrastructure projects in many industries.
Beyond their varied professional experiences was the broad
exposure, understanding and appreciation of many cultures, each with
its own unique contrasts and beauty. The 'vision' of Roads2.Com is to share
their experiences and lifelong memories with a 'boutique-style' of
travel.
There are four scheduled Roads2Thailand tours at this

Myanmar-Laos borders. Koh
Samui, an island in the Gulf of Thailand is
known for its tranquility, white sandy beaches and warm clear
water. Bangkok and Luang
Prabang, Laos make up a unique
2-country Roads2Thailand tour.

Each Roads2.Com tour is carefully coordinated by
a local in-country manager. All licensed, native speaking tour guides are fluent
in english.
Additionally, a Custom tour can be arranged for a special family occasion or a group of
friends.
Thailand - Land of Freedom - Land of Smiles
.....
Thailand is unique among Southeast
Asian countries in having developed its culture independently of Western
colonialism, and the Thais are proud of their history. The kingdom's
Buddhism is the purest in the region. Its language is like no other, and
is enormously rich, with an extraordinary capacity for exact expression of the
finest nuances of human relationships, a sign of the importance Thais place on
dealing with one another peaceably and with dignity.
Contrasts abound in the country, both geographically
and socially. In a land the size of France, cities and rural villages
reveal their contrasts from the hectic, yet beautiful capital Bangkok
to Hua Hin, Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Koh Samui to
Krabi. Island beaches are sheltered by palm trees and gentle
waters.
Thailand's origins may reach as far back as 5,600
years to the world's oldest Bronze Age civilization. Much later, from the
6th to the 13th centuries, know as the Dvaravati period, people from the
southern Chinese province of Unnan moved into the fertile basin of the Chao
Phraya River. Two Siamese chieftains banded together, captured the Khmer
outpost of Sukhothai and established the first Thai kingdom in
1238.
Up to now, the Thais' strong belief in Buddhism has
accounted for their tolerant attitude, which can be summed up by their
expression 'mai pen rai' (never mind, it does not matter). The Thais' have
great respect for their monarchy.
Thailand's attraction rests with the people.
Proud of their independence, the Thais believe in accommodation rather than
confrontation. The Thais communicate by smiles, which have many
meanings. The word thai means freedom. Thailand is truly a Land of
Freedom and the Land of Smiles.
