South.
The country comprises 76 provinces that are firther divided into districts,
subdisrias and villages, Bangkok is
rhe capital city and c€nse of political, commercial, indusrial and cultural sctivities. lt is also the sert of
Thailand's revered Royal Family, with His Majesly the King re.cognized as Head of Stare, Head of the Armed
Forces, Upholder ofthe Buddhist religion and Upholder ofall rcligions.
Thailand is a constitutional monarshy with His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, or King Rama IX, the ninth
king of the Chaki Dynasty, the prcsent king. The King has reigned for more than half a century, making hlm
the longest reigning Thai monarch. Ttailand embraces a rich diversity ofcultures and trsditions. With its proud
hisory, tropical climate and rcnowned hospitality, the Kingdom is a nwer-ending source of fascination and
pleasure for intemational visitors.
GOVERNMENT
Thailand is govemed by a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral parlisment. King Bhumibol Adutayadej
(Rama IX) is the head ofthe state.
PEOPLE
The vast majority (roughly 80olo) of Thailand's nearly 65 million citizens are ahnicalty Thai. The remainder
consists prinarily of peoples of Chinese, lndian, Malay, Mon, Khmer, Bunnese, and Lto decrnt. Of the ?
million citizens wlro live in the capital city, Bangkolq there is a great€r diversity of ethniciti€s, including a large
number of opatriate rcsidents fiom ac.oss the globe. Other geographic distinctioos ofthe population include a
Muslim majority in the south near the Malaysian border, and hill tribe ethnic groups, such as the Hmong and
Karen, who live in the norlhem mountains..
RELIGION
Thailand is one of the most shongly Buddhist countries in the world. The national religion is Theravada
Buddhism,
a
branch
of
Hinayana Buddhism, practicad
by
more than
90 % of all
Thais.
The remainder of lhe population adheres to lslam, Christianity, Hinduism and other faiths all of which are
allorved full freedom ofexpression. Buddhism continues to cast strong influence on daily life. Senior monks are
higlily revered. Thus,.in towns and villages, the ternple (wat) is the heart ofsocial and religious life. Meditatioq
one ofthe most popular sspects ofBuddhism, is praatic€d r€gularly by numerous Thai as i neans ofpromoting
peac€ and h4piness. Visitors, too, can leam tbe firndamentals of this practice at selreral c€ntres in
lnner
Bangkok and elsewhere in the country,
LANGUAGE
Mgre than
92o/o of lhe population speaks Thai or one of it's regional dialecrs. While the Thai language is the
official language of Thailand, as a result of its cosmopolitan capital city and established tourism infiasrucrurc,
English is spoken and understood throughout much ofThailand.
CLIMATE
Thailand can best be desoibed as tropical and humid for the majority ofthe country during most ofthe ycar.
The area of rhailand north of Bangkok has a climate determined by three seasons whilst the southem
peninsular region ofThailand has only two.
In northem Thailand the seasons are clearly defined. Between November and May the weather is mostly dry,
however lhis is broken up into lhe periods November to February and March to May. The later ofthesstwo
periods has thq higher relative temperatures as although the northe€st monsoon does not directly effect the
northem area ofThailand, it does cause cooling breezes from November 10 February. The other northem s€ason
is fiom May to November and is dominated by the southwest monsoon, during which time rainfall in the north
is at its heaviesl
The southem region ofThailand really has only two seasons the wet and the dry. These seasons do not run at
the same time on both the east and west side oflhe peninsular. On the west coast thc southwest monsoon brings
rain and often healy storms from April though to October, whilst on the east coast the most rain falls betw€€n
September and December.
the southem pans of Thailand gel by far the most rain with around 2,400 millimeters every year,
compared with the cen'tral and northem regions ofThailand, both ofwhich get around 1,400 millimeters.
