Thailand’s Travel

Thailand is the land of smile, the most exciting tourist destination in Asia. The place where you can find striking historic landmarks. The ancient kingdom of Cambodia is emerging mostly in the northeast part of Thailand. Beautiful monuments, sitting, standing and reclining Buddha statues, Buddha Temples, Beaches in the south, Plateau in the Northeast, mountains in the North, River and lakes and the long border line of Mekong River to Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. Nevertheless, why the call Thailand as the land of smile? Are the people here are always smiling? When I think about Asian is often smile to their guest so why only Thailand got this called? Why not Philippines? Lol..

To answer this question let me first dig some information. Long time ago, westerners come to visit Thailand is the one who founded this name. They are very welcomed by the King’s hospitality, and of course with the assistance of the beautiful smiling women around with them. Its quiet funny to look them smile often even they really don’t understand the visitors. But I think this is their best weapons for the world colonization of the westerners as they are the only one in Asia that was not colonized. They called it also as the land of free (Thailand). Thai greetings is simply executed by the touch your hands together and put it in the level of your nose with bow as they called that as “WAI”. The height level of WAI will also vary according to the hierarchy of individual.

By their unique diversity and cultures you can really amaze Thailand for this matter. Their dancing and singing especially in Issan part or Northeast were MO-LAM as they called is the most exciting part of their cultures. Ethnic’s type of dancing is also unique and well preserve for their guest and visitors. Every school have their own music bands to perform modern songs (rock, hip-hop, love song) but the trademark of their Thai-dancing singing always relatively shown in every occasion.

In my three fruitful years of being an expat in Thailand, I found more interesting places and things, where I can’t imagine how and why they got this? The huge and wide roads in the provinces, the well preserved historical parks, beautiful sanctuaries, sunflower plantation, colorful temples and different type’s festivity. Yet the English proficiency is still struggling. They are the least in Asia of speaking English but the technology is so amazing. Well for that, I can really say (Amazing Thailand). But let say if all the people become smart, that country become worst. As corruption will also increased, debating of the law-makers, and projects for the infrastructure will also stagnant. The bottom line is the economy will decline. In relation with Bangkok incidents last year. The two airports were close due to eagerness of obtaining the power. Every group has their agendas, to be right to rule. Anyway hoping to recover the lost that they had before is my wish to all of us here. I’m still proud of the Thai government to do the right things to their people. The most all the present King of Thailand, who was admired most by his people. The longest reigning monarch in Thai-history. 60 years of his throne is simply the best for the people to admire him as I do too. As I’m wearing the emblem of the Royal Majesty King Bhumibhol Adulyadej. “Long Live the King” as the favorite quote and been written into the yellow wristband that most people wore.
