READING
Read the text. Then read the sentences, choose True or False.
The Kingdom of Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is in Southeast Asia. It is a kingdom with a constitutional monarch, King Rama IX, who has ruled since 1946. It attracts more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia, with its combination of incredible natural beauty, famous hospitality, delicious food, and ancient temples and ruins. Few countries have so much to offer the tourist. And most importantly, the people of Thailand are known for their charm and hospitality. The largest city is the capital Bangkok, with a population of over five million people and a busy economy. From the mountains of Mae Hong Son and the bright green islands of the Andaman Sea, to the night clubs and crowded markets of Bangkok, Thailand has something for every type of traveler.
Thailand has become particularly popular with students and young people. A favorite destination is the island of Phuket, and the beautiful white beaches of Koh Samui. Tourists can ride around on Tuk-Tuks, the moped taxis, eat incredible Thai food, go snorkeling, and visit the ancient temples. It’s a totally different experience to Europe.
The best time to visit is in February, when the weather is good and the beaches are at their best. Thailand’s monsoons arrive around July, and last into November (the “rainy season”). The weather then can be very hot and humid. This is followed by a dry, cool period from November to mid-February, followed by much higher temperatures from March to June.
The busiest months for tourists are August, November, December, February, and March, with smaller peaks in January and July. Even during busy months, however, if you simply avoid some of the most popular destinations, like Chiang Mai and all islands and beaches, it isn’t difficult to leave the crowds behind. If your main aim is to avoid crowds altogether and to take advantage of cheap rooms and low-season prices, you should think of traveling during the least crowded months (April, May, June, September, and October). This is also the best time for scuba diving.
