I hope everyone had a pleasant and enjoyable holiday!

Now is a great time to travel to one of the most enticing, culturally rich, and vibrantly colored countries in Southeast Asia.  For further information please visit www.tourismthailand.org or www.thailandsuperdeal.com.  And remember, our office is just a phone call or email away at 1-800-THAILAND and tatla@ix.netcom.com.
