COUNTRY INFORMATION
Located in the tropics of Southeast Asia, Thailand has an extremely diverse landscape. Historically, Thailand has been characterized as an agricultural society, but large numbers of people began relocating to the capital and other large cities during the 1960s.
Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia to never have been colonized by Europeans. However, Thailand has experienced years of political and military havoc as well as violence conducted by ethnonationalists in the country.
