Thailand Puzzles
Thailand, sometimes called the land of smiles, is known for its golden temples, busy markets and tropical beaches. It is the only country in Southeast Asia that was never colonised by a European power. Our Thailand puzzles show temples old and new, a cave shrine and a floating market.

About Thailand
In Bangkok, Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, rises beside the Chao Phraya River, its tall central tower decorated with pieces of coloured porcelain. North of the city lie the ruins of Ayutthaya, the Thai capital from 1351 until it was destroyed in 1767, where headless Buddha statues and brick towers stand among the trees.
Across the country, golden temple spires glitter in the sun, a reclining Buddha rests in the shadow of a cave, and at floating markets traders sell fruit and food from small wooden boats.
Newer puzzles head south to Maya Bay, Ko Phi Phi, Railay Beach and the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay, with the stilt village of Ko Panyi. In Bangkok they visit the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha; inland, Erawan Falls, Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok, the pagodas of Doi Inthanon and the ruins of Sukhothai.
