About Visit to Bangkok, Thailand

The Kingdom of Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia. Its capital
and largest city is Bangkok. The country's official name was Siam until 23 June 1939, when it was changed to Thailand; it was renamed Siam between 1945 and 11 May 1949, after which the name Thailand was once again adopted. With that
in mind the locals seemed to have also accepted the alternative meaning and
will verbally state that it means "Land of the free". In 1997, Thailand was hit with the Asian financial crisis and the Thai baht for a short time peaked
at 56 baht to the US dollar compared to about 25 baht to the dollar before
1997. Since then, the baht has regained most of its strength and as of 23 May
2007, is valued at 32 baht to the US dollar. The official calendar in Thailand is based on Eastern version of the Buddhist Era, which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian
(western) calendar. For example, the year AD 2008 is called 2551 BE in Thailand.

Thailand has never been colonized, and therefore its educational system does

not draw off of European models to a great extent. Education in a modern sense
is relatively recent and, according to some sources, still needs to overcome
some major cultural hurdles in order to ensure further development and
improvement to its standards, which in some respects have fallen to the lowest
levels in Southeast Asia. Education has seen its greatest progress in the years
since 2001, most of the present generation of pupils and students is computer
literate, and knowledge of English is on the increase at least in quantity if
not in quality. Thai cuisine blends five fundamental tastes: sweet, spicy,
sour, bitter and salty. Some common ingredients used in Thai cuisine include
garlic, chillies, lime juice, lemon grass, and fish sauce. The staple food in Thailand is rice, particularly jasmine variety rice (also known as Hom Mali rice) which is included
in almost every meal. Thailand is the world's largest exporter of rice, and
Thais domestically consume over 100 kg of milled rice per person per year.
