Unique Art, Culture, and Lifestyle
Thailand Culture
Thailand is a country of scenic diversity and ancient traditions, of tranquil temples and modern urban
excitement. With an independent history going back more than seven centuries, it has managed to absorb a
variety of cultural influences and blend them into something uniquely and memorably Thai. From the moment
of arrival and being greeted with the graciouswai gesture, to one’s first experience of authentic Thai cuisine or a
colorful classical dance performance, the process of collecting unforgettable memories to bring home never
ends.
Thailand Temples
There are more than 30,000 Buddhist temples in Thailand, with
every community having at least one in its vicinity. The temple has
always played a significant role as a social, educational, and
spiritual center. Much of the Thailand’s artistic and cultural heritage
can be seen in the architecture and decoration of the temples, with
their murals, woodcarvings, and Buddha images. Popular temples
are Wat Phra Kaeo (The Temple of the Emerald Buddha), Wat Arun
(The Temple of Dawn), Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble
Temple), and Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha). These
are all in Bangkok and highly recommended to all visitors.
Royal Palaces of Thailand
The royal palaces of Thailand provide a fascinating glimpse of the
majesty and splendor of the Thai monarchy. Several of them are
open to visitors, including The Grand Palace in Bangkok, Phra
Nakhon Khiri Summer Palace in Phetchaburi, Bang Pa-In Summer
Palace in Ayutthaya, Vimanmek Palace in Bangkok, and
Mrigadayavan Palace in Phetchaburi
Thai Cuisine and the Art of Fruit &
Vegetable Carving
Thai cuisine is as rich and diverse as its culture. To experience the
real thing surrounded by the sights and sounds of Thailand is truly
special. Bangkok and other major tourist destinations offer an
incredible selection of dining places in all price ranges. From
curbside food stalls selling simple but good food, to smart, upscale
restaurants, there is something to please everyone.
Thailand is also a treasure trove of exotic tropical fruits and
vegetables. The art of fruit and vegetable carving is a part of the
Thai heritage. It is used to decorate the plate as well as the table. It
also provides an inner peace and contentment to both the carver and
the diner in a very different way.
Performing Arts
Most visitors will be exposed to classical Thai music and dance at
the National Theatre in Bangkok or in a tourist-oriented restaurant.
Exploring other Thai performing arts will enhance your cultural
experiences. Seeing Khon classical masked dance, originally
performed only in the royal courts, is a must. Chalermkrung Royal
Theatre offers several performances such as Khon, Thai dance
performances, dramas, and plays. Other options include Siam
Niramit and Joe Louis Theatre, offering a world-class spectacular
performance in one-of-a-kind cultural theme complex, and a small
traditional Thai puppet show, respectively.
Thai Boxing
Muay Thai is a national form of martial art and increasingly popular
worldwide. There are several Muay Thai stadiums across the
country. The main tourist spots often provide twice-weekly shows,
but the real thing is best seen in Bangkok at Lumphini Stadium on
Tuesday and Friday nights, and Ratchadamnoen Stadium on
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights.
Riverside Lifestyles
The architecture and way of life along the river and canals continues
to remain true to Thailand’s beginnings. Floating markets are a
colorful reminder of the days when farmers brought their produce to
sell by boat early in the morning. Popular floating markets include
Damnoen Saduak, Taling Chan, Amphawa and Tha Kha. For more
insights on the riverside community, take a canal trip along the
canal of Klong Om to the island of Ko Kret in Nontaburi, home to
the Mon community. Enjoy the lush fruit orchards with a visit to Ko
Kret pottery village, and Klong Khanom Wan, the “Dessert Canal.”
