What is special about Thailand. The eccentricity of everyday Thai life and Thailand. What to bring from Thailand
About which you are unlikely to read in tourist guides. Thailand is a beautiful country with picturesque nature, delicious food and friendly people. This is the tropical paradise everyone dreams of. Many tend to move here, first on vacation, then for the winter, and better for good. We also thought so before, and decided to dump in Thailand.
What did we see in Thailand when we stayed here for more than 2 weeks? We discovered the real Tai, which no one talks about and learned things that you can’t read in beautiful flyers.
In the restrooms forbidden to throwtoilet paper
Thailand has poor sewerage can not deal with toilet paper. In all restaurants and Public restrooms have signs asking people not to throw toilet paper down the toilet. I received reprimand from an old thai in the toilet at the gas station for not throwing the toilet paper in the bucket next to the sink.
Thailand is not very cheap
Prices in Thailand are different in different provinces and districts.Central and Northern Thailand is much cheaper than, for example, Koh Samui or . In Thailand, you can always eat cheaply, for about 60 baht , but the service, food quality and entourage for the money will be appropriate.And most likely it will be a macaroni or a local wooden restauranton open air with mosquitoes.
If you want to eat like a "white man" in Thailand, sit in an air-conditioned room, prices will increase significantly(200-2000 baht per dish). One visit to the doctor will cost about 3,000 baht for an injection and pills . One wound treatment (first aid for falling off a bike) is 3,000 baht and must be done daily. Tourist invisa required for every 90 days (at least ), will cost you 1100 baht plus 1900 baht extend it for 30 days . If you are leaving the country you need to pay for tickets, accommodation and tourist visa. If you want to live and work in Thailand (although I recommend having your business "at home"), a visa will cost you 2,000 baht (single entry) and 5,000 baht (multiple entry) and that's not counting patent valuewhich you will also need.
Russia is advancing
Due to the fact that Thailand has become one of the most liquid holiday destinations since lots of offers on flights and tours, he constantly filled with tourists. Especially the southern islands are more inhabited by Europeans than by Thais. Koh Lanta known for having a large number of Swedes living there, the island of Koh Phangan was occupied by settlers from Israel, but the island Koh Samui and Pattaya is the so-called« tropical Russia". Those living in Pattaya and Koh Samui share that schools consist of Russian and Thai children, in language schools adults Russian students, yoga teachers are also Russian , in most restaurants there is a Russian menu and today Russian speech is more audible than Thai. You won't surprise anyone with advertising in Russian.
The Royal Family everywhere
Thai k the king is deeply respected and loved by all Thais. Old and recent photographs of the king and his wife can be found in every shop , restaurant and school . They speak very warmly about him and the schoolchildren should sing the national anthem at least once a week. In the cinema, when the king is shown on the screen, everyone stands up, and you will have to stand up as a sign of respect . If you crush or tear a Thai banknote, you can be put in jail because every banknote has an image of a king on it. This is regarded as the deepest disrespect.
Unequal marriages
I doubt that somewhere else on earth you will see so many European men over the age of 60 who are married to 20-year-old girls. When people the first time they come to Thailand, they are shocked by the huge numberThai young girls with grandfathers. When you live here, you do not pay attention to them, because you see this picture every day. European men retire, go to Thailand, marry Thai girls and start a second family . Probably, and so it is clear that all thai girls do it's because of money, to ensure a comfortable existence for yourself, your children and all the closest relatives, sending money to these "husbands" every month for my family.
Very hot
Do not misunderstand me, I really love the sun and heat, but never before have I it was so hot all day, every day. As in any humid tropical place in Thailand there is no respite from the heat, not in the shade, not indoors, not in the ocean (about +28 degrees). You will sweat while you sleep, after waking up, right after a shower and even without clothes. In the south of Thailand there are no cool days at all. If you don't want to change , at least, three times a day no visit Thailand in April and May.
Thais can't drive...cars
When it comes to scooters, the Thais rule the roost. They ride scooters school age until they can barely walk. It looks like they were born with motorbikes between their legs. Moms ride with babies and kids, and can easily accommodate four on one scooter, the whole family and a dog, and sometimes with a washing machine.As my Thai friends admit, they themselves do not know how to drive cars. This is due to traffic on the roads and the presence on the roads minibuses and SUVs. Drivers often accelerate and brake throughout driving and cornering, most cars You have to stop before entering the road. Getting around on a scooter is easier: you you can pass between cars at speed, overtake cars and vans.
Insects
In Thailand, you will be attacked by mosquitoes every day. For example, there are ants everywhere, but it is in Thailand that there are big red ants, which have a stinging bite that causes swelling and intense itching. Small ants climb into thick bags of coffee, rice, muesli and containers with peanut butter. They even manage to get into the refrigerator. And if you do not wash the dishes in time in Thailand, lizards can start in it. 🙂
When it rains…
You will be without running water, electricity and wi-fi... These are extreme days that sometimes happen in Thailand. During the rainy season, it can rain for a whole week without stopping at all … At the same time, you need to have time stock up on at least candles and water for brushing your teeth.
"Happy end"
Prostitution in Thailand was first legalized in 1960 to receive more income from US troops, stationed in Thailand and Vietnam. There are even hotels where guests can order a girl to the room for the entire stay. In Thailand, at every turn you will see bars and massage parlors offering" happy end " . Every Thai bar hasprostitutes and ladyboys.Most often, these are visiting uneducated girls. from poor areas who work to feed their families in the villages. They are tied to your place of work and they get fined if they don't some amount of money in a day . They all dream of finding farangs who will send them monthly amounts so they don't work. But they will still work and look for new suckers.
If you need a regular massage, stay away from salons where the ladies are dressed in shorts and heels. These places offer much more than just a massage.

All students start their day in the same way, the anthem is played in schools and universities. In cities, posters with the image of the king hang on the streets. In no case do not say anything bad about the king, it will be considered an insult to His Majesty. Do not throw money on the floor, do not wrinkle it or get it dirty. The thing is that the king is depicted on banknotes. For insulting the king, you can get a fine or even go to jail.
6. Thais are relaxed and slow people, they are not in a hurry. The Thai people live by the principle: "If I don't make it in this life, I'll do it in the next." For them, the main thing is the joy of the moment, they do not pursue material wealth, they do not see the need for it.
7. Thais do not complain and do not whine, unlike many Russian people, where this is considered in the order of things. They believe that they deserve everything that comes into their lives and the cause of the problems must be sought in themselves, and not blame others. In this I share their views. After all, we ourselves attract events into our lives with our thoughts, and this has been proven more than once. So, think positively and you will be happy!

10. Everyone eats in street cafes, regardless of social status. In the most shabby cafe, both ordinary people and the rich, who drive up to this place in expensive cars, dine.

Top 10 most amazing facts about Thailand. Thailand is an extraordinary country with its own unique features, traditions and signs. Let's get acquainted with TOP 10 facts about Thailand that distinguish it from other countries.
1. Since ancient times, every nation has the most distinctive feature - the national language.. There are approximately six thousand languages all over the world. AND Thai language managed to stand out even with such diversity. What is so special about it? Thai has the largest number of unused letters. A total of 76 letters are not used. According to this parameter, the Thai language is the leader among all the currently used languages of the world, the Thai language. Extinct languages were not taken into account in the ranking, and if they were taken into account, then the palm would belong to the Khmer language. This feature of the Thai language paved the way for him to the Guinness Book of Records.
The Thai language has a few more features. Spaces are only used between sentences, not between words.. But due to the fact that most Thai words are monosyllabic, this does not cause any inconvenience. There are also very interesting differences in the way consonants and vowels are written: consonants are written horizontally from left to right, while vowels are written below, above, to the right and to the left of the consonant.
2. Sunny Thailand enters the Guinness Book of Records not only because of the unusual language, no less remarkable is the capital of hot Thailand - Bangkok, whose full name is Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit. Now, I think, it is clear why Bangkok is included in such an important rating. You are absolutely right - for your unusually long name, the longest city name in the world. And this record long name is not just a random collection of words.
All of the above is far from all the interesting features of hot Thailand. He still has something to surprise you.
Unusual beliefs, rituals and customs of Siam in our selection today. 25 facts about the traditions of Thailand that make this country unique.
1. The historical name of Bangkok consists of thirty-seven words and is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest name of a settlement in the world. Thais at school learn the full name of the capital of their state, but immediately after graduation they safely forget it.
2 . It is almost impossible for a foreigner to learn Thai. At one time, in order to avoid colonization, the country's authorities reformed the language, making it as complicated as possible. The modern Thai language is encrypted, if you do not know the topic of the conversation, it is almost impossible to understand its meaning. For example, the word "klay" means both "far" and "close", the word "k'ap" depending on the situation "yes" or "no". In this case, nouns, adjectives and verbs can be in the same row of homonyms.
3. The inhabitants of Thailand profess Buddhism of the southern branch of Theravada, however, in a somewhat simplified version. The main commandments of the country of smiles: “do not envy”, “do not condemn”, “do not be ashamed” and “do not be greedy”.
4. Thais still believe in good and evil spirits; miniature houses for spirits can be found on any street in Bangkok, in the farthest village or on the beach. Every morning offerings in the form of food are brought to the spirits, in the evening the houses are cleaned, and the food is mercilessly thrown into the trash. It is strictly forbidden to eat up the spirits, the locals believe that the spirit could come to the meal in a bad mood, which will inevitably affect the well-being of a person who decides to “finish the spirit”.
5. In addition to spirits, Thais also believe in angels, it is believed that an angel of a certain color patronizes one of the days of the week. The color palette is as follows: a yellow angel patronizes Monday, green on Tuesday, blue on Wednesday, pink on Thursday, brown on Friday, lilac on Saturday, and red on Sunday. Locals recommend wearing colored items according to this schedule, then an angel will notice you in the crowd and bestow good luck on you.
6. For the reason described above, on Monday the streets of Bangkok are flooded with people in yellow T-shirts. Yellow is the color and the yellow angel is especially revered here, as it is the color of the king.
7. Thais are very superstitious, the lucky number in Thailand is 9, the unlucky number, as elsewhere in the world, is 13.
In the photo: Thailand, Monday, people on the streets in yellow T-shirts.
8. Thais believe that the Buddha was very fond of chicken eggs, and therefore 99 eggs is the best offering for the Buddha. They are carried to the temple on the eve of an important business transaction or an exam. By the way, if you can’t eat up the spirits of the offering, then you can eat after the Buddha. According to local beliefs, the Buddha is never in a bad mood, so some time after the Buddha is “satiated”, the offering can be collected and eaten.
9. The white elephant is the symbol and sacred animal of Siam. After birth, the baby elephant becomes the property of the king. An animal cannot be forced to work, it cannot be shown to anyone, while the maintenance of an elephant, no matter how difficult it is to guess, costs the treasury a pretty penny. What to do with them is not very clear, so in previous centuries the king preferred to give away elephants. It is because of this custom that the idiom “white elephant” arose, which means an expensive but useless gift.
10. Thailand is one of the few countries where the birth of a daughter is more rejoicing than the birth of a son. Thai men in the general mass are lazy, girls are hardworking, like bees. Parents know that their daughters will never allow them to starve in their old age, unfortunately the same cannot be said about sons.
11. At the time of marriage, the groom must pay the bride's parents a dowry. The amount is negotiated individually each time, but beautiful girls who managed to get a good education are most valued in Siam, according to the logic of their parents, such girls have nothing to do with a poor husband.
12. Fat men in Thailand are called a funny word "pampuy". Men's bellies are valued here more than abs, because the presence of a belly speaks of office work and above average wealth, which is why men with a belly in Thailand automatically fall into the category of enviable suitors.
13. August is considered the most successful month for marriage. Sometimes, to save money, young people celebrate their engagement and wedding on the same day.
14. Buddhist chants are an indispensable element of a traditional Thai wedding. During the breaks between chants, it is customary to feed the monks, it is believed that this improves the karma of the future family.
15. Thais do not like to cook at home and prefer to eat on the streets. By the way, the freshest food is sold on street stalls.
16. In Thai villages, polygamy is still common. Often, after a husband earns money for dowry “to acquire” three wives, he stops working. The maintenance of the house and children, as well as the extraction of money, fall entirely on the shoulders of women.
17. If a wife (or wives) has convicted her husband of treason, she will not stand on ceremony with him. In the worst case scenario, wives can castrate their husbands with a simple kitchen knife, which is why male genital reconstruction surgery is common in Thailand and is on the list of standard surgeries.
18. Thais believe that a spirit lives on the top of a person, so you can’t hit a person on the head under any circumstances, otherwise you can kill the spirit.
20. Many Thai girls working in the sex industry are married and have children. Husbands, of course, are aware of what their spouse does for a living.
Sometimes it happens that a client becomes attached to his Thai girlfriend and decides to pull his beloved out of the "quagmire of vice." He invites the girl to become his permanent girlfriend, after which the attraction called "Thai divorce" begins.
The girl introduces her client to her husband, whom she introduces as a brother, then the European secretly buys a house and a car (usually from acquaintances and at exorbitant prices). Everything is going well, until the moment when the European decides to visit his friends in his historical homeland. Returning to Thailand, he discovers that the house he bought has been sold, and his "faithful girlfriend" along with his "brother" and money have disappeared in an unknown direction. This is a very popular scenario, although of course there are happy exceptions.
21. As a rule, any Thai has two names: one is a long official name (it is written in documents), the second is a short home name for friends and family.
22. Thais can change names several times in their lives. From a bureaucratic point of view, this is a very simple procedure. As a rule, the name is changed if a person is dissatisfied with his life and wants to start everything from scratch. If life fails again, the procedure can be repeated. Also, recently it has become mandatory to indicate the gender of a person in the passports of Thais, due to the fact that local plastic surgeons have finally learned how to remove the Adam's apple, and now it has become even more difficult to distinguish ladyboys from women.
23. Thais love to give nicknames to small children, but, unlike residents of other countries, Thai nicknames do not characterize a person’s personality, but rather play the role of shifters, for example, a thin girl can be called a fat woman, and a dark-skinned girl Snow White. This is done on purpose so that evil spirits cannot find an innocent soul and take possession of it.
24. The Thais use the same principle for the names of caves, waterfalls and other natural objects. For example, the waterfall that bears the name Baiyok Bolshoy is only a few meters in height, while the Baiyok Small waterfall, on the contrary, is distinguished by its impressive size.
25. The Thais call the caves a tunnel between the world of the living and the world of spirits, so almost every cave has a Buddha statue and incense smokes. The locals quite clearly delimit the caves into places with evil spirits and good ones; it is strongly not recommended to visit evil spirits.
