Welcome to the Kingdom of Thailand!
We Thais often refer to our country by the polite form "prathet Thai" (ประเทศไทย).
In the past our kingdom was known as "Siam".
Historically, we have had four major capitals: Sukhotai, Ayutthaia, Thoburi, and Bangkok.
********************
To log this virtual cache, please, add the picture from one of the four historical capitals at the provided waypoint:
Ayutthaia: "Temple of the Holy, Splendid Omniscient" (วัดพระศรีสรรเพชญ์; Wat Phra Si Sanphet)
********************
More history in this listing may follow but first of all enjoy our fascinating country!
********************
P.S. Originally we've planned to make this virtual for all the four capitals. Unfortunately, we did not manage timewise, so we've at least left optional waypoints for the other capitals.
Sukhothai: Sukhothai Historical Park (Sukhotha means 'dawn of happiness')
Thonburi: King Taksin Monument
Bangkok: Grand Palace (พระบรมมหาราชวัง; Phra Borom Maha Ratcha Wang)
