BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand has recently been recognized as the sixth most beautiful country in the world, from a total of 89 nations, according to the website U.S. News and World Report.
In the top ten, it is named among traditionally popular Western countries; the full list comprises Greece, New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Thailand, Norway, Iceland, Australia, and Austria. The ranking is based on answers by respondents to the global survey, who considered the scenic, picturesque qualities of the countries they had visited.
The U.S. News and World Report noted this about Thailand: “Buddha figures are ever-present in the ‘land of smiles,’ where bustling, modern cities are juxtaposed with ancient ruins, glistening beaches, and gilded temples. The nation is home to the acclaimed Thai massage and cuisine that is known to balance sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy flavors.” (PRD)
