The modern Nation of Thailand is a multicultural society. The predominant Thai culture, identity and civilisation emerged as a by product of the interaction of the indigenous population with Tai and other immigrant peoples ( including Chinese and Indian ). When people call themselves ‘’ Thai ’’ they mean they are in the political sense, subjects of the Thailand nation. If explored further the word has a cultural and, for many, a linguistic sense. However not all Thailand citizens speak Thai and of those who do so it is a second language for them. This Thai identity in its present form is relatively recent. For your travel information guide we extensively detail ethnic diversity in Thailand and the resulting varieties of festivals, customs and beliefs. This web site has over 380,000 words about Thailand history, art, people, places to see and Thailand National Parks and other places of natural beauty in over 735 pages of each language version. Accordingly we recommend you also use the ''search'' function in the top right side corner.
