Buddhist temples represent
an example of distinctive Thai architecture, while classical Thai dance

A rich calendar of annual
festivals and colorful events have also been an essential part of the Thai
lifestyle. |

Amazing
Sports
One mention of Thai sports
and Muay Thai or Thai Boxing comes to mind.
An ancient martial art
which uses feet, knees, and elbows as weapons.
Equally Thai is Takraw
- a sport where a rattan ball is kept in the air similar to volleyball
using feet, legs, and head only. |

Agricultural Produce
The immensely fertile land
of Thailand has continued to produce an enormous variety of fruits, vegetables,
and spices.
It
is the availability of such fresh produce that has made Thai cuisine so
rich and varied.

Thailand is now becoming
the access point to travel within Indochina and the ASEAN countries.
China's Yunan province, Myanmar,
Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam can all be easily reached from Thailand.
