Welcome to the forum. I do hope you'll manage to take and post some street shots and landscapes from your remarkable country. I'm sure folks would love to see them.
(I'm sure John will forgive you in this instance, but it's not really acceptable to post non-Pentax photographs here.)

Did you want a new or second hand outfit? Thanks guys now I want to get help suggestion in the body and lens but don't know where I should ask in this forum?
If new, the KS-2 has had some excellent reviews and looks to be way better than the "entry" cameras from other brands. The KS-1 also takes brilliant pictures and is of course, a fair bit cheaper... but you need to love the odd looks.
If second hand you surely won't do any better than a K5. Lots of us have have or have had one of these and they are wonderful reliable bodies.
As for a lens, I'd start with the 18-55 kit lens which, again, is of superior quality to those supplied by rivals.
Best wishes,
Andrew

I am going to plug for the K50 which I have been really pleased with - it seems to be the least talked about but is a proper weather-resistant DSLR at a great price, handles well and I am still learning (and surprised by) some of the features. As you are keen on macro then take the cost of a good macro lens into account when considering your budget. Good luck!

I want to do macro for insects and also landscapes. I have this 3lenses that I have been getting by friends 
also have an old Pentax 50mm 1.2
I see Venus and samyang make some nice manual macro lenses but also the Pentax 100mm for the price seems a better buy? Also in body k50 vs k5 k3
