Being a historically autonomous Asian kingdom, Thailand is significantly influenced by

its traditions. Buddhism and the monarchy have historically been seen as sources of order and stability in society and continue to act as symbols of unity for the Thai people. Yet, the culture is also accommodating of contemporary practices and values. Many Thai people have embraced progressive ideas as their country has globalised. This is reflected in the country’s capital, Bangkok- a vibrant cosmopolitan city containing a melting pot of traditional influences and contemporary attitudes.

Harmony and Respect- core concepts of Thai Culture:

Thai society is quite

modest and conservative. The concept of 'face' is one of the underpinning factors influencing the way in which Thais behave and interact with one another. Face refers to a person’s or a collective’s reputation, dignity and honour.

actions such as complimenting a person, demonstrating respect or increasing another’s self-esteem, one can give face. A harmonious demeanour and calm disposition is the norm,

pointing out someone’s error, criticising them or raising one’s voice are all seen as actions that can cause a loss of face and bring shame. Thus, face can also be lost, saved or maintained. Excessive displays of negative emotions (e.g. anger, selfishness) or outbursts are avoided.

Greetings

In both a formal and informal situation, Thai people greet each

other with the word ‘sawadee’ followed by ‘kah’ for females and ‘kraap’ for males.
It is normal to refer to someone of a perceived higher status by the title ‘Khun’ (Mr/Ms) followed by their first name. For example, a shop assistant would refer to their customer through the term ‘Khun’.
People of the same age or who are close friends will omit the use of the title khun.

The Wai
Greetings are accompanied by the gesture known as a ‘wai’,

which is the placing of two palms together, with fingertips touching the nose. A wai indicates the level of respect for another person and is an acknowledgement of seniority. A person should bow their head with their palms pressed together to indicate respect. The depth of the bow and the level of the hands represents the level of respect. Whilst this form of greeting is still widely used, the younger generation are not as rigid in their adherence to the customary wai.

These are types of coconut milk. The process of making coconut

milk is to add water to the shredded coconut meat, and then squeeze it until the water becomes coconut milk. The first part of coconut milk we get from this process is called hǔua gà-thí, while the coconut milk we get at the later stage is called hǎang gà-thí. Hǔua gà-thí is richer in taste than hǎang gà-thí.
