Thai People: Why call Thailand - "The Land of Smile"?
Once you visited Thailand, you will notice that the most prominent feature
of the character of the Thai people is their natural inclination
to smile.
Perhaps it was the influence of Buddhism. Thai people take things
easy and they are kind to strangers. They are always cheerful no
matter whether in success or in adversity.
Thai people have lived in their motherland for centuries in
happiness and contentment. Another significant trait of the Thai
nation - their love of peace. their exceptional ability to co-exist
with people of different ethnic groups, different religions,
different political views and different social classes. In
Thai history, there have been no religious wars.
Information Bangkok, (Krung Thep - City of Angels): The soaring
roofs and gleaming spires of the Grand Palace and the city’s many
historic temples – The Grand palace, The Chapel of the Emerald
Buddha, and other evocative shrines – present the visitor with
a picture of medieval Oriental wonder. Bangkok numbers more
than 400 temples, many of which have their own fascination.
A similar selection can be made with museums. The National
Museum is excellent and comprehensive, but as impressive in
their own way are the Jim Thompson House, Vimanmek Mansion
and Suan Pakkad Palace.
Cruising on the Chao Phraya river and the remaining
canals which once made Bangkok the "Venice of the East"
offers a glimpse of traditional lifestyles, affording
insights into the history and character of this
wondrous city.
National Parks: To protect the endangered animals
and plants, 13 percent of Thailand’s land has been set
aside for environmental protection, in the form of several
national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and forest reserves,
offering 79 sites in total.

Pattaya is the premier beach resort in Thailand.
Its main attraction lies in its liberated, almost legendary,
resort ambiance. Located 90 miles southeast of Bangkok, this
bustling metropolis has shot up during the past 35 years of
being built used primarily as a vast recreational resort
catering for the US Armed Forces during the Vietnam War At
that time period international tourism kicked in and during
the l970s development soared, Pattaya became the massive
entertainment center it is today, quite" literally, whatever
people want, by day or night, they can get it in Pattaya.
Pattaya offers all sorts of recreations other than diving,
which should keep the non-divers happy. Seafood restaurants
and discos add spice at night; other sea sports include
dinghy sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing and game fishing.
Apart from that, there is everything from beachside fun parks
for kids to shooting galleries and archery ranges to elephant
farms and horseback riding. |
| For scuba diving, Pattaya is the oldest developed area and
offers some of the most exotic dive sites in Southeast Asia The
region has one of the richest marine faunas on Earth. Conditions
for coral growth are ideal, with an average prevailing sea
temperature of about 29 degrees Celsius and clear waters.
Spectacular underwater prospects are shown off to their best
advantage, under what are often superb conditions of visibility,
in waters so ~warm the diver doesn't need a wet suit! Another
advantage of the Pattaya area: it has a 12-month diving season.
Unlike some other places in Thailand where the underwater
attractions themselves may be generally better or poor depending
on the seasons, the quality of diving around Pattaya is much
the same throughout the year. |
