Thailand - Land of Freedom - Land of Smiles
.....
Thailand is unique among Southeast
Asian countries in having developed its culture independently of Western
colonialism, and the Thais are proud of their history. The kingdom's
Buddhism is the purest in the region. Its language is like no other, and
is enormously rich, with an extraordinary capacity for exact expression of the
finest nuances of human relationships, a sign of the importance Thais place on
dealing with one another peaceably and with dignity.
Contrasts abound in the country, both geographically
and socially. In a land the size of France, cities and rural villages
reveal their contrasts from the hectic, yet beautiful capital Bangkok
to Hua Hin, Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Koh Samui to
Krabi. Island beaches are sheltered by palm trees and gentle
waters.
Thailand's origins may reach as far back as 5,600
years to the world's oldest Bronze Age civilization. Much later, from the
6th to the 13th centuries, know as the Dvaravati period, people from the
southern Chinese province of Unnan moved into the fertile basin of the Chao
Phraya River. Two Siamese chieftains banded together, captured the Khmer
outpost of Sukhothai and established the first Thai kingdom in
1238.
Up to now, the Thais' strong belief in Buddhism has
accounted for their tolerant attitude, which can be summed up by their
expression 'mai pen rai' (never mind, it does not matter). The Thais' have
great respect for their monarchy.
Thailand's attraction rests with the people.
Proud of their independence, the Thais believe in accommodation rather than
confrontation. The Thais communicate by smiles, which have many
meanings. The word thai means freedom.
Thailand
 is truly a Land of Freedom and
the Land of Smiles.
