Thai economy and education

The Thai economy is the second largest economy in Southeast Asia after that of Indonesia. It has become a newly industrialized country with its economy becoming an upper-middle income in 2011  thanks to the significant progress it has made in social and economic issues. There is remarkable and sustained reduction in poverty. The economy is heavily dependent on export. Two-thirds of its gross domestic product (GDP) is derived from exports.

The major economic sectors in gross domestic product are the industrial and service sectors. 39.2 percent of the GDP is obtained from the industrial sector. Trade and logistics contributes 13.4% while communication contributes 9.8%. The agricultural sector on the other hand is contributing about 8.4 percent of GDP while 4.3% of the GDP is contributed by the construction and mining sector. 24.9% of the GDP is contributed by other service sectors such as financial, hotel, restaurant sectors and education.

Food and tradition

The cuisine is an embodiment of detail, balance and variety. A good number of ingredients used in preparing dishes have some medicinal value and this is an important aspect of local cuisine. The chefs pay attention not only to the taste of their dishes but also look, smells and how it matches with the rest of the dishes to be served for the meal. The chefs use aromatic components and spicy edge to lightly prepare dishes. A well prepared dish has at least three tastes with some having four or five. These tastes include sweet, sour, salty, spicy and bitter. Different elements are blended perfectly to give a harmonious finish in cuisine. Given its simplicity and features, local cuisine made the list of the most popular cuisine across the globe. In an online poll of 35,000 people published by CNN Travel, seven Thai dishes were included in the list of the 50 Most Delicious Foods in the World. There is no other country that has up to seven dishes in the list. The popular dishes that made the list are the pad Thai, tom yam goong, massaman curry, soma tam, fried rice, green curry and moo nam tok.

Despite sharing certain common features, there are also regional variation in food such that it is possible to describe the cuisine of the various four main regions differently. The four regional culinary traditions are Isan, Central, Northern and Southern Thai. Owing to interplay of cultures, there is influence of the culinary traditions of the various neighbours on the culinary tradition. For example, there are some cuisines that are common to Northern Thai and Shan State in Burma. Chinese culinary traditions exert strong influence on many cuisines that are now popular there. Some of these dishes were brought by the Hokkien and Teochew people in the 15th and 18th century respectively. The arrival of the Portuguese in Thailand in 1511CE for diplomatic reasons, marked the beginning of the influence of the Western cuisine on Thai cuisine.

There is an eating etiquette which is somewhat different from the Western cultures. In the western cultures, foods are served on the table but in this country, families sit on mats or carpets to eat their foods. They use their right hands in consuming their foods as well. However, a good number of locals prefer the Western culture of eating on dining tables with fork and spoon, fork and chopsticks.

Rice constitutes the major dish in all meals. But there are other complementary dishes. Unlike in Western countries where appetizers are served first before the main meal and then dessert which is served last, here the dishes are served at the same time. However, when people are eating alone or when they have no time for meals, they normally take just one dish which is basically rice.

It's common here to eat a lot of fruit. Fruit can be with spicy dips made from salt, sugar and chillies. They can also be eaten alone. They are used in preparing spicy salad such as yam som-o, som tam and others. There are locally produced fruits as well as fruits imported from Western countries or other parts of the world in the market. Some of the fruits available in the market are rose apples, durian, papaya, mango, langsat, jackfruit, mangosteen, pomelo, pineapple, burmese and others. A popular fruit festival held by the Chantaburi in early May on yearly basis is the World Durian Festival. Another fruit festival which is held in September during the weekends in Uttaradit is the Langsat. Fruits are also used in producing juicy and other food items. For example, coconut are used in producing coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut vinegar and others.

Tradition:
This land is filled with a lot of traditions with some having religious connotation or origin and some having a secular origin. There are always traditional practices in every aspect of the life such as greeting, eating, dancing and others. If you are planning on traveling there, it will be to your advantage if you know the culture. Here are some of the important traditional practices that you are supposed to know.

The wai traditional form of greeting is an important tradition. If you are meeting someone for the first time or you are greeting a visitor or a guest, you can use the greetings to show your feelings of happiness. If you want to show a great respect to the person you are greeting, you need to hold your hands higher in a praying manner.

Among the traditional practices there are the plenty of festivals held in this land. Some of the festivals are observed by the farming communities as they pray for and look expectantly for rain to continue with their farm. A typical example of such a festival is the rocket festival which is observed in the northeastern part at the beginning of the rainy season. Another important festival observed especially in the northeastern part is the Phi Ta Khon Festival.

Eating is an example of a communal activity and as such, there are some traditional practices regarding it as seen above. When people gathered together for their meal, they do not start eating until their leader invite them to start eating. Different dishes are served together in a large platter because it is a communal activity. Each person gathering for the meal is expected to sample all the dishes, two or three mouthfuls are enough.

Things to know before moving to Thailand

Here are some important things that you should know about this place on Earth before traveling there.

Respect for the king and royal family
The Thai hold their king and the royal family in high regard. If there is anything you should remember, it should be respect for the king and the royal family. It is an offense to speak ill of the royal family or the king. The offense can be punished with jail sentence. It is not good to criticize the king or the royal family. You have no business with the king or the royal family. If you must speak about them, keep it positive.

Learn to put smiling face
The Thais put emphasis on appearance or countenance as explained above. They always try to smile or be of good countenance. They also avoid getting annoyed or getting others pissed off. You should always try to keep your countenance and keep others in countenance avoiding struggle or any embarrassment. Raising of voices in anger should be avoided. This manner of behaving is foreign in the Western world where people don't hide their feelings of disapproval or annoyance. But you have to learn how to cope with that if you are coming here especially for a long stay.

Street foods are the best
There's a rich culinary tradition as explained above. There are also numerous eateries, restaurants and bars where you will be served with the culinary specialty of the region. It is normal to judge the quality of dishes that they will be served with the look of the restaurant where one wants to eat in. But this is not always the case. The best local dishes are served on the street. They are highly affordable. So, if you want to enjoy delicious food at a low cost, you have to hit the streets. The good thing is that there are plenty of dishes to choose from. However, the only obstacle that you may encounter is communication barrier. Most of the food sellers in the street are locals and they do not understand or know how to speak English. Just take a look at the dishes and then point at the one that you prefer. There are some street food sellers that have continental dishes including English dishes in their menu. So, if you want to eat something you are familiar with, you should consider purchasing it.

Don't forget the understanding of the feet
When you are about traveling there, you should not forget their understanding of the feet. The feet is regarded as the lowest and dirties part of the body. There are a lot of traditional practices about the feet. Remember not to keep your feet above another person's head or point it towards the images in the temple. Make every effort not to step on another person. Remove your shoes before entering another person's home. Don't cross legs if you are in a temple; rather, you should sit on your heels with your feet behind you.

Mind how your display affection in the public
Public display of affection is not accepted in the tradition of the Thai society. But today, many younger populations are doing it. But there are some people that still abide by such tradition. So, you should be careful with the way you display affection publicly whether you are there with your spouse or a friend. Public display of affection also includes casual touching. You might read in articles that the rules are being relaxed now. This is true but remember that you are still a visitor and that some locals still keep to that tradition.

Some inhabitants have an easy attitude and approach towards life. They take everything  easy. They approach life with a relaxed mind. This explains why they are very understanding. Even when things go wrong or you mistakenly infringe on their tradition, they will understand with you. The phrase 'don't worry about it' is a common phrase and it captures their attitude towards life. If you bear the things mentioned above in mind during your visit whether you are there for a short visit or a long visit, you will definitely have no problem with any person and you will enjoy your stay. It is a peaceful place with a laid-back attitude to life. There are little or no crime. So, you will be fine and enjoy your visit.

Connect your utility and pay for subscription
When you have gotten a permanent home, you can now subscribe for certain important services such as internet and telephone.
