It shares land borders with Myanmar (Burma) in the north and west, the Andaman Sea in the west, Laos in the north and north-east, Cambodia and the Gulf of Thailand in the east, and Malaysia in the south. The shape of the country is similar to the profile of an elephant with a long trunk stretching down the peninsular. At school, students are taught that their country resembles the shape of an ancient axe with the peninsular being the handle. [ see maps FACTS:

    Thailand Geography
    Thailand has divided in 7 regions; they are The North, Northeast, Central Plains, East, West, and the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. Each region has the beauty and charmed that makes them distinctive to each other. The central region, encompassing the Bangkok metropolitan region and the central plains, is affectionately known as "Thailand's Rice Bowl". One of the world's most fertile rice and fruit growing areas, this is the economic and cultural heartland of the Thai nation. The mountainous north is Thailand's largest region. Here, elephants work the forest and winter temperatures are sufficiently cool to permit cultivation of temperate fruits such as strawberries and peaches. The second largest and poorest region is the sprawling northeast. Better known as "Isan" or the "Khorat Plateau", it is largely bordered by the Mekong River, where the world's oldest Bronze Age civilization flourished some 5,000 years ago.

    GEOGRAPHY. Return to Index of Thailand Information. Return to MainPage. Thailand is a Southeast Asian, predominantly Buddhist kingdom
    http://www.on-samui.com/info-thailand/geography.html
    GEOGRAPHY Return to Index of Thailand Information Return to Main Page Thailand is a Southeast Asian, predominantly Buddhist kingdom almost equidistant between India and China. For centuries known by outsiders as Siam, Thailand has been something of a Southeast Asian migratory, cultural and religious crossroads. Thailand has an area of 517 000 sq km, making it slightly smaller than the state of Texas in the USA, or about the size of France. Its shape on the map has been compared to the head of an elephant, with its trunk extending down the Malay peninsula. The centre of Thailand, Bangkok, is at about 14 degrees north latitude, putting it on a level with Madras, Manila, Guatemala and Khartoum. The country's longest north-south distance is about 1860km, but its shape makes distances in any other direction 1000km or less. Because the north-south reach spans roughly 16 latitudinal degrees, Thailand has perhaps the most diverse climate in SouthEast Asia. The topography varies from high mountains in the North (the southermost extreme of a series of ranges that extend across northern Myanmar and south-west China to the south-eastern edges of the Tibet Plateau) to limestone-encrusted tropical islands in the South that are part of the Malay Archipelago.

    19. Thailand: Geography And Environment
    GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENT. One of Asia's most rapidly developing countries, Thailandlies at the heart of southeast Asia, within the Indochinese Peninsula
    http://www.masterworksunlimited.com/Thailand/geograph.htm
    GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENT One of Asia's most rapidly developing countries, Thailand lies at the heart of southeast Asia, within the Indochinese Peninsula, except for the southern extremity, which occupies a portion of the Malay Peninsula. For size comparison, Thailand's total land area of 514,000 sq km (198,456 sq. mi.) is about 20% larger than the area of the U.S. state of California. It's bordered by Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, and Cambodia. The country's extreme dimensions are about 1770 km (about 1100 miles) from north to south and about 805 km (about 500 miles) from east to west. The Thai people describe the shape of their land as an elephant's head, with the trunk down the Malay Peninsula and the ear in the northeast. The physiography is highly diversified, but the mountain systems are the predominant feature of the terrain. Thailand is rich in natural resources. Among the known mineral deposits are coal, gold, lead, tin, tungsten, manganese, zinc, and precious stones. In addition, the country has many large forests that produce teak for export. The rich alluvial soil along the Chao Phraya and other rivers constitutes another important resource. Jungles and swamps, scattered through the coastal areas of Thailand, have extensive stands of tropical trees, including mangrove, rattan, ironwood, sappanwood, ebony, and rosewood. The upland areas are also heavily wooded, the most valuable species being teak, agalloch, and oak. In addition, a wide variety of tropical plants and fruit trees, including orchid, gardenia, hibiscus, banana, mango, and coconut, occur in Thailand. Many species of animal inhabit the jungles and forests. Elephants, widely used as beasts of burden, are abundant. Other large quadrupeds include the rhinoceros, tiger, leopard, gaur, water buffalo, and gibbon. The Siamese cat is, as its name implies, indigenous to Thailand. Thailand has more than 50 species of snakes, including several poisonous varieties. Crocodiles are numerous, as are various species of fishes and birds.

    Thailand and the Thais Geography and climate Thailand covers an area of nearly 514,000 square kilometers and is bounded by other South-East Asian countries : Malaysia, Burma, Laos and Cambodia. To the west lies the Indian Ocean and to the east are the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. The climate is usually hot and humid but not unbearable and so the Westerner soon becomes used to it. Temperatures vary between 62 degrees in December and 96 degrees Fahrenheit in March, with an average humidity of 82%. The rainy season, or monsoon weather, lasts from May to early November; while during November, December and January the weather is delightfully cool. The hot months are February, March and April. Bangkok, the capital since 1782, is today one of the largest cities in South-East Asia, with a population of ten million which is increasing rapidly. The city lies within a bend of the Chao Phya River approximately 50 miles from the coast, and is only 3 feet above sea level. Surrounding the city is the vast central plain often referred to as the rice bowl of Thailand.
