AngloINFO in Thailand
Thailand is known for its spicy cuisine, its glorious beaches and jungles, and the intense bustle of its capital city, Bangkok.
And it's that capital where AngloINFO's first Thai site launched in 2007 - AngloINFO Bangkok.
Popular with expatriates for years, today's Thailand is attracting a more upmarket foreign-born resident than at times in the past. Some
choose the country as a business base, either locating themselves in Bangkok or involving themselves in the blossoming tourism industry at high-class resorts such as those on the
island of Phuket. Others move for the lifestyle alone, enjoying the scenery, the climate, the cuisine and the Thai way of life.
AngloINFO's
unparalleled English-language information and interaction provides members of Thailand's international community with the tools they need to smooth their move and enhance their
life in Thailand.
