Throughout her long history, Thailand has gently absorbed immigrants. Many where skilled as writers, painters, sculptors, dancers, musicians and architects, and helped enrich indigenous culture. People inhabiting Thailand today share rich ethnic diversity – mainly Thai, Mon, Khmer, Laotian, Chinese, Malay, Persian and Indian Stock – with the result that there is no typically Thai physiognomy or physique. There are petite Thais, statuesque Thais, round -faced Thais, dark-skinned Thais and light skinned Thais. Some 80% of all Thais are connected in some way with agriculture which, in varying degrees, influences and is influenced by the religious ceremonies and festivals that help make Thailand such a distinctive country.

Theravada Buddhism is the professed religion of more than 90% of all Thaïs, and casts strong influences on daily life. Buddhism first appeared in Thailand during the 3rd Century B.C. at NAkhon Pathom, site of the world’s tallest Buddhist monument, after the Indian Buddhist Emperor Asoka (267-227 B.C.) dispatched missionaries to southeast Asia to propagate the newly established faith. Besides molding morality, providing social cohesion and offering spiritual occur, Buddhism provided incomparable artistic impetus. In common with medieval European Cathedrals, Thailand’s innumerable multiroofed temples inspired major artistic creation. Another reason for Buddhism’s strength is that there are Thai Buddhist families in which at least one male member will study the Buddha’s teachings in a monastery. It has long been a custom for Buddhist males over twenty, once in their lifetimes, to be ordained for a period ranging from days to months. This usually occurs during the annual Rains Retreat, a month period during the Rains season when all monks forego travel and stay inside their monasteries. Besides sustaining monastic communities, Thai temples have traditionally served other purposes – as the village hostelry, village news, employment and information agency, a school, hospital, dispensary and community centre -- to give them vital roles in Thai society. The Thais have always subscribed to the ideal of religious freedom. Thus sizeable minorities of Muslims, Christians, Hind and Sikhs freely pursue their respective faiths.

Spoken and written Thai remain largely incomprehensible to the casual visitor. However, English is widely understood, particularly in Bangkok where it is almost the major commercial language. English and other European languages are spoken in most hotels, shops and restaurants, in major tourist destinations, and Thai-English road and street signs are found nation wide.

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is the ninth king of the Chakri dynasty. Born in December 1927, in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA, where his father. Prince Mahidol of Songkhla was studying medicine at Harvard University, H.M.King Bhumibol ascended the throne in 1946 and is already the longest reigning Thai monarch. As a constitutional monarch, he maintains neutrality in times of crisis.

Thai people have a deep and traditional reverence for the Royal Family. To a very large degree, H.M.King Bhumibol’s popularity mirrors his deep interest in his people’s welfare. He concerns himself intimately with every aspect of Thai life. He and his wife, H.M. Queen Sirikit devote much of their time to inspect and improve the welfare of the people.

The Thai unit of currency is the Baht which is worth a little less than 4 US cents.
One US dollar = approximately 40 Baht.
The Baht is divided into 100 Satang. “Copper” coins are valued at 25 and 50 satang.”Silver “ coins are in denominations of 1,2 and 5 Baht. A 10 baht coin is composed of both “silver” and c”copper”.

The ancient city of Ayutthaya, or Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, The Thai capital for 417 years, is one of Thailand's major tourist attractions. Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city that was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong when the Thais were forced southwards by northern neighbours. During the period of Ayutthaya being the Thai capital, 33 Kings of different dynasties ruled the kingdom until it was sacked by the Burmese in 1767.

Ayutthaya is 76 kilometers north of Bangkok and boasts numerous magnificent ruins. Such ruins indicate that Ayutthaya was one of Indo - China's most prosperous cities. Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya a Historical Park, a vast stretch of historical site in the heart of Ayutthaya city, has been included in UNESCO's list of world heritage since 13 December ,1991.

Originally, Bang Pa-In was a riverine island. When Prasat Thong became the Ayutthaya king (1630 - 1655), he had the Chumphon Nikayaram Temple built on his family estate. Later, he had a palace built on a lake in the middle of the island where he could periodically reside. The palace, surrounded by a lake 400 meters long and 40 meters wide, and the Chumphon Kikarayam temple, are all that remain of King Prasat Thong's construction work at Bang Pa-In.Bang Pa-In was used as a country residence by every Ayutthaya monarch after King Prasat Thong. But when the new capital was established in Bangkok. Bang Pa-In ceased to be used and was left unoccupied for 80 years. It was only during King Mongkut’s reign (1851-1868) that Bang Pa-In was again visited by kings. King Mongkut stayed there and had a house built in the old palace’s compound. His son, King Chulalongkorn (1868-1910) liked the place, stayed there every year and constructed the royal palace as it is now seen today.

Wat Phra Sri Sanphet

This important and most outstanding monastery is located in grand palace compound like Wat Phra Si Ratanasatsadaram (Wat Phra Kaeo) of Bangkok.

Later, he established a Wihan combined with the pagodas and upgraded it to be monastery.

King Songtham commanded it to be transferred to the west, where it is currently enshrined and covered with a Mondop.

Then, the King commanded a new building and the image were badly destroyed by fire, the one currently seen was renovated but does not have as beautifun craftsmanship as the previous ones.
