Thailand
has the distinction of being the only Southeast Asian country never
colonized by the West as its kings deftly played Western nations off
against each other to retain their independence. Thailand is a constitutional
monarchy in which the king is a Buddhist; Thailand is about 95 percent
Buddhist and monks and nuns play an important role in the economy, politics,
and especially in economic development.Thailand is blest with abundant
water and good agricultural land, access to the sea and good natural
resources. It has a long
history which has left many ruins of both Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms;
it has an exciting and vibrant cultural life both in the cities and
the villages. For more information
