Thailand Geography Map Of Thailand Situated in South-eastern Asia, Thailand is predominantly a Buddhist kingdom almost central from India and China. Known by outsiders as Siam for centuries, Thailand (the land of smiles), has been something of a Southeast Asian traveling, cultural, and religious crossroads.  Approximately the size of France, Thailand covers an area of 513,120 sq km  . Thailand shares its border with Myanmar in the west and north, Laos in the northeast, Cambodia in the east and Malaysia in the south. CLIMATE

Thailand has a warm, tropical climate both high in temperature and humidity and is mostly dominated by monsoons.

From November through February is known as the Dry, “cool” Season.  Daytime temperatures vary between 30-35 C, Everyday is a sunny day, and this is the season to travel around Thailand. From March through June is known as the Hot Season. Travellers unaccustomed to the heat should not arrive in this period. Temperatures can soar to 40 C on the hottest days, and at night the humidity rises. From July through October is known as the Rainy Season.  It rarely rains for more than an hour at a time. The mornings are usually sunny, but a thunderstorm or two can come towards the late afternoon or at night. This usually starts in late July or August, but by September there is a thunderstorm on most days, often resulting in flooded streets but cooler nightime temperatures.
