Thailand

A quick note:

This page is the furthest along out of the whole site, for originally the site was going to be strictly Thailand-oriented.  However, I am going to add more onto this page, and, of course onto the others as well.

Thailand is a marvelous land that has the uniqueness of being the only Southeast Asian country that was never colonized by Westerners.  It has a history of battles-mainly struggles for the throne-and also a history of a deeply spiritual culture.  Thailand is a country that lives by Theravada Buddhism, and this is apparent in the magnificent Buddha statues and golden temples that can be found throughout the land.


***Something important to remember when visiting these links is that most of the links available about Thailand are meant for tourism purposes, to boost the nation's economy.  However, there are still some things to be learned from

There are currently 18,000 Americans living in Thailand:  16,500 in Bangkok, and 1,500 in Chiang Mai.
