Hilltribes of Northern Thailand
Hilltribe peoples migrated over 100 years ago from the southern part of China into Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam and Thailand. They have preserved their way of life with little change for over thousand years. Comprising seven major tribes, KAREN HMONG (MEO), YAO LISU LAHU LAWA and AKHA , each has its own distinct culture, religion, language, art and colourful style of dress, these people make their homes in the highlands. The main profession of all these tribes is farming. All the tribes are hospitable and welcome visitors to their villages, providing them with the opportunity to see and experience their way of life. Beside the 7 main tribes, their are also some rare and smaller tribes living in northern Thailand, such as the PALONG KHAMU THINS and MLABRI For information about the PADUANG, the "Long Necks", please go to our Mae Hong Sorn section.

Thailand has become one of the prime travel destinations in Southeast Asia and acts as a travel gateway to Southeast Asia.
The Kingdom of Thailand, with a population of about 60,000,000, is located in Southeast Asia and shares borders with Myanmar (Burma) on the west and northwest, Laos on the east and northeast, Cambodia (Kampuchea) on the southeast, and Malaysia on the south. The Gulf of Thailand is on the southeastern coast and the Andaman Sea on the southwest. Bangkok is the The Kingdom's capitol and major seaport. It has an official population over 6,000,000 and was established in 1782. With a land area of 513,000 square kilometers Thailand stretches approximately 2,500 km. from north to south. East to west it spans 1,250 km. The eastern coastline is estimated at 1,800 km. and the western coastline along the Indian Ocean is 860 km. Mountainous areas dominate much of Thailand's terrain, Ranges stretch to most areas of the country. The Korat Plateau bordering the Mekong River covers about one third. The main river within Thailand is the Chao Phraya and flows through an alluvial plain that lies between the central and western mountain ranges.

The Thonburi Period was brief, spanning the reign of only one king. HM Tak Sin the Great was one of Thailand's great heroes and great tragedies.
Born of a Chinese father and Thai mother Sin of Tak was the cavalry commander just before the sacking of Ayuttuya. When the fall of Ayuttaya seemed eminent, Tak Sin formed his cavalry, broke through Burmese lines, and escaped to an area currently called Trat. Tak Sin reorganized his army, absorbed the forces of the local strongman and set out to reclaim Thailand from the victorious Burmese. He was also fortunate to have the services of a great military leader in Chao Phaya Chakri. Fighting side by side through many battles and for 7 months Tak Sin's forces were able to drive the Burmese from Thailand. HM Taksin ascended the throne and established the city of Thonburi. Stories say that some time after taking the throne HM Taksin became deranged, claiming that he was the Buddha. He is said to abuse his courtiers and the Sangha alike. Chao Phaya Chakri had returned from a campaign agains the Khmer when officials urged him to depose HM Taksin and ascend to the throne himself. It must have been a difficult decision for Chao Phaya Chakri. He and HM Tak Sin had been friends and comrades in arms. Apparently deciding that it would be best for the kingdom, he deposed his old friend. A council declared that HM Tak Sin had to be executed in the prescribed manner for royalty. No royal blood could be shed. So the condemned King was put in a silk bag and beaten with sandalwood clubs. It is said the Chaophaya Chakri could not bear to be present for the execution.

Country Profile
Flag of Thailand Background:
Siam, "the land of the White Elephant" or the country of Muang Thai (land of the Free) A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century; it was known as Siam until 1939. Thailand is the only southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power.
A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US ally following the conflict. The Thais have their own culture (including literature, drama, architecture, music, painting, sculpture, folk dances, and many handicrafts), their own language, their own cuisine, their own martial arts, and their own beliefs.

Thai culture evolves largely around Buddhism and respect for seniority, whether in terms of age, status or wealth. However, monks receive absolute deference and it is common to see healthy young monks sitting on buses while elderly passengers stand. Seniority has different forms: younger people respect elders, the poor look up to the rich, and common citizens defer to politicians and high ranking military personnel. Seniority in years is sometimes unclear, so Thais often ask a personÂs age. With seniority established, the older person may address the younger as nong, and the younger person may address the older as pii.

"I was grateful to be part of something real - I felt connected to the culture and the people."

With long coastlines on the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Thailand, Thailand is a country of scenic diversity and ancient traditions. It is the only country in Southeast Asia that has never been colonized. Though it is heavily influenced by India and China, Thailand has a wonderful culture of its own. Unique and fascinating, it has long attracted international travelers interested in its Buddhist roots and its natural beauty. Bangkok Trang
Bangkok
Thailand is a place of contrasts, a country in which two of the most renowned pursuits are tranquil meditation and aggressive kickboxing. It is a very industrious country, and yet its favorite phrase is "mai pen rai" ("no worries"). At the center of these contrasts is the city of Bangkok, home to western skyscrapers and hundreds of Buddhist temples. The streets of Bangkok bustle with the sights, sounds and smells of another world. Walking through the city you can experience the serenity of hundreds of years of Buddhism or the fast-pace of a major urban center. With canals running through the city and a scattering of floating markets, Bangkok embraces every aspect of Thai culture.

Thai Culture
Untainted by colonial influences, Thai culture retains a distinctiveness which the Thais themselves are very proud of. Royal patronage insures that the traditions live on and encourages the continuing participation of all citizens.
Classical Dance
The formal classical Thai dancing, or khon , uses elaborate costumes and jeweled gilded masks to perform scenes from the Ramakien , the Thai version of the Hindu Ramayana epic. The plays are performed without spoke words or songs and can be compared to ballet in the Western theater. In addition to the formal classical dance, each region of Thailand has its own traditional dances. A typical show put on for tourists will generally include dances from each of the major regions.
Movies
Thailand has its own movie industry, as well as being the setting for a number of foreign films. Thai movies generally have a lower "production value" than their Hollywood counterparts (in other words, they're made as cheaply as possible). But sometimes, like Hollywood 'B' movies, they can be a lot of unintentional fun. Thai movies generally fall into one of three genres: ghost stories, historical dramas or comedies. The comedies employ a lot of slapstick and so can often be enjoyed without understanding any Thai. The trend has been for many of the bigger budget films to be released with English subtitles, so you can try seeing a Thai movie if you're interested. Most major Hollywood films make it to Thailand within a short time of their release. In Bangkok, most Hollywood films are shown with their English soundtrack and Thai subtitles, although in the countryside its more common for them to be dubbed in Thai.

When arriving in Thailand ask for free copies of Thaiways magazine and Thaiways maps from the information counter at airports or hotels. Thailand is located at the meeting point of the two great cultural systems of Asia, Chinese and Indian. In everyday life, Chinese culture has mixed very well with the Thai, whereas in Thai court culture, which has been based mainly on Buddhism and Brahmanism, India has exerted a strong influence. Thai culture can be divided into 3 aspects: linguistic culture, court culture, and traditional culture. Court Culture Traditional Culture
Linguistic Culture The Thai language, or Phasa Thai , basically consists of monosyllable words, whose meanings are complete by themselves. Its alphabet was created by King Ramkhamhaeng the Great in 1283 by modelling it on the ancient Indian alphabets of Sanskrit and Pali through the medium of the old Khmer characters. After a history of over 700 years, the Thai alphabet today comprises 44 letters (including 2 obsolete ones), representing 20 consonant phonemes, and 15 vowel signs, denoting 22 vowels, diphthongs and triphthongs.

Culture shock Thailand, or Bangkok?
Culture Shock Thailand is very good start for anyone planning to live in or visit Bangkok, less so for those planning to live elsewhere. But it is really only a start. Many of the rules of etiquette given are over simplified but are good guidelines to start from. For example, the book make it appear as if no one ever dares to touch anyone else on the head, if fact they do so quite often. But for someone arriving for the first time or visiting for a short time it's best to follow this guideline. My main complaint about this book is that it's centered around Bangkok. I found large parts of it less than useful for life in the mid-sized northern town where I lived. For the most part, everything outside Bangkok is classed as "Upcountry" and mentioned only occationally as if it were another planet the expart would rarely venture into. Still, I would strongly reccommend it for anyone planning to live and work in Thailand. But once your there, don't expect everything to work exactly as described in the guide.
