Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations for those seeking a tropical holiday experience. Rich Khmer culture and abundant flora and fauna created a friendly culture and economy. The Floating Market in Bangkok is a must-see, with the iconic flat-top Ngob hat. The high top allows air to circulate between the hat and the head, a design to keep the head cool.
