Thailand in Pictures (10 of 11) - The Land of the Free

[hetismij21]

One can simply state that once having visited Thailand you won't find a single country on the world map that comes anywhere near Thailand when it comes to the 'awe' effect. Thailand its land and inhabitants are truly blessed in richness of diversity and splendour. I can not imagine any human being on this planet who has been to Thailand and does not want to return. It's a mystical country and maybe one should wonder if its wothwhile to book ur holiday to any land elsewhere but Thailand!

let the world understand it .... look at..... what the Jew and Arab did on the road ....check...travel without borders and be free...

Thai is not about city or island, beach or jungle, North or South, its about what comes from the heart. I have Thai friends going back 15 years now and they are a unique group of people. I have a lot of respect for Thai people. Strong, happy, independant, friendly people.

why Samui aren't Thai?? kinkyspot...the thing you shold know Thai doesn't mean "Tai". we far from that word for long time..Thai belong to Thai citizens. you counld be Tai, Khmer, Mon,Malay, Karen, Mhong, Buddism, Islamic, Christian whatever.. who is born in Thailand..

[kinkyspot]

Bankok is a mix of thai and chinese so yeah bangkok is a real big mix, but the culture is pretty much thai except the culture the chinese brought in.. Tho samui people arent thai, and etc.. Half of bangkok has chinese people tho

[malakhhatzadik]

I still don't know what you're talking about. The people I knew on Samui were from Bangkok, Ubon Ratchathani and Sukhothai, and then a few Europeans and Filipinos/Singaporeans too. They were definitely Thai in every sense of the word. I only knew 1 person from Laos, and 1 who was ethnically Chinese. I think you must just have a bad impression of the touristy places, but you must at least realize that Thai people flock to them with the hopes of making money...

[kinkyspot]

Ofc too many are too busy to know the fact tho lol. In china they think thailand is so far away and different, and in thailand probably the same about china.. Though thai culture and people are from south china. I guess education kills.

[kinkyspot]

Heh, Its funny how little people know about thailand... Most people think Phuket, Koh samui and those places are authentic thai... They couldnt be more wrong.. And that most people they meet in their home country who are rather dark skinned (No racism intended) aren't usually Thai either, No they are Khmer surin or Mon.)

[malakhhatzadik]

ya know... I used to live on Samui, and I found it (minus Chaweng, which I only visited 2-3 times) to be more authentically Thai than Bangkok.

[kinkyspot]

And the people in this video arent thai, they are malay muslims who happen to live in annexed places that arent thai by culture or ethnicity at all.

[malakhhatzadik]

That's the point.

[hetismij21]

@kinkyspot they were annexed for centuries and still refuse to embrace thainess due to their arrogance and they don't want progress but only quran and islam. as if that is going to feed their mouths!

KevinVang1000 You must be crazy... You people who keep defending abrahamic religions, make me throw up...

[KevinVang1000]

I agree with this guy...publicanimal9

Since I am Hmong and my family was a shamanistic before, we became Christians because of Apologetics (Greek term: to defend)

Koran is not from God's words and Buddhism is a bunch of atheism and confusion.

[publicanimal9]

These people are very nice & friendly...but clearly totally insane! lol

[Aaron5185]

That reminds me...I had pad Thai earlier and need to take a sawatdee krap.

[khmerandenglish]
