Welcome to

Land of Smiles, Amazing Thailand are two of the most popular names for one of the most interesting countries in the Asian continent. Bordered by Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Malaysia, the Kingdom of Thailand is home to 64 Million people of 75% Thai descent with minority groups of Chinese, Malay and other nationalities. From the busy and exciting city of Grung Thep (Bangkok) to the beautiful flowers  and mountains of the Northern provinces, we will be exploring travelling in Thailand, Thai culture, Thai food and the social side of Thailand with its many festivals, celebrations and music.

Travel

Thailand has just about everything for everyone. Idyllic

beaches in the south provide a haven for those wanting that

lazy beach holiday whilst the north provides an opportunity to

trek on foot or just drive and enjoy the beautiful scenery with

a visit to mountain tribes or the numerous temples found all

over the Kingdom.

A few ideas on where to go as well as some useful articles are within our Travel section.

Thai Food

Thai food is very aromatic with its mix of herbs, spices and red

or green chillies.

In our Thai food section, we will look at ingredients and how to prepare them. Cooking Thai food is very easy but there are a few essentials to know when cooking. So whether your favourite is a Thai Green Curry or Chicken in Oyster Sauce with Thai Herbs, there are some tips and recipes too in Thai Food.

Thai Language

If you would like to learn a few Thai phrases then you will find some in our Travel section. Should you wish to learn Thai proper (it is a very beautiful language), then our Thai  language section provides an introduction to grammar and details of both flashcard programmes and more advanced structured learning online courses. Thailand is a Kingdom with a monarchy and has never been colonised. It has a very interesting history and we look at that too. The Thai culture is very evident in everyday life from a greeting with a ‘wai’ (bowing whilst putting the palms of the hand together) to regular visits to the temple, Thailand being over 90% Buddhist. Buddhism, founded in India, came to Thailand over 200 years ago and is an important part of Thai culture. We will provide a little bit of an insight to the culture, what a massage really can do for one’s inner self and the importance of the Thai family. In our Day to Day page, we list some everyday things that you will see and provide some useful tips. Thais are extremely sociable and this is reflected in their festivals and music. Thais love to celebrate. Western Christmas and New Year are both celebrated along with the Thai New Year (Songkran) and Chinese New Year. Their own celebrations originate from a strong cultural background, from the Songkran water drenching to the beautiful floats in the romantic festival of Loy Krathong. On the sport front, golf has become a very popular sport and Thailand hosts some of the most beautiful courses in the world with green fees very reasonable. We hope you find the site useful and if you have any comments then you may contact us via the contact page or the Facebook link.
