Recommended: The history of Thailand

I recently visited Thailand a few months back. It was most probably the best trip so far this year. We went to the typical Thai touristy places every tourist goes to when visiting Thailand; The Grand Palace, The Temples and I also visited Chiangmai. I have visited many Asian countries in the past. I go back to Korea to visit my family every now and again but I’ve never been to Thailand.
Bangkok is a really easy place to get around. There are loads of different types of transportation. The most interesting one would be the tuktuk which is similar to the rickshaws in India. These tuktuks however, don’t have a meter on them, so the driver might charge you a really high price and Thai people don’t usually speak English. I’ve read many things about this online so I figured, might as well learn some basic Thai before going to Thailand. I was surprised when the taxi asked me “where you go?”. So I thought that maybe only taxi drivers knew how to speak English, but then I realized that many Thai people in Thailand know how to speak English even the street vendors!
I also learnt that Thai have their own number. Each number has its own character. Here are the number from 1-9 and 0 in Thai.

The numbers are very similar to their characters. I tried writing them out as well, but it is a lot harder than it looks. Before I went to Thailand I didn’t know that they had their own numbers. I met up with a friend in Thailand who took me around. Whenever we walked into different places he would tell me not to speak. He told me that entry fees for foreigners are higher than the entry fees for Thais. The way they did this was by putting the Thai entry fees in Thai numbers and the foreigner entry fees in the normal numbers that we know. So being the ...

...oing back to the topic on rice, in Chiangmai, the staple diet is actually sticky rice which is very different in texture. Obviously from the name is it sticky but also more glutinous and filling. In chiangmai, people eat with their hands! Reminds me a lot of Laos and India. Looking back on the Loas trip last year, I feel like Chiangmai and Loas have a lot in common. So if you have been to Loas and like it there, you should also visit Chiangmai in Thailand.
Overall, Thailand was a successful trip! The people were so kind. There are probably many things that I have left out in this blog post today, but I just wanted to give you guys an overview of how my experience was. If you want to see some of the footage that I took while I was there, the link to that video will be down below. I will update and talk to you soon! Till then, live your life like there’s no tomorrow.

    People use numbers whenever they do math. Yet, do they know that each number in the number system has its own unique trait? Numbers such as 4 and 9 are considered square numbers because 2 times 2 is 4, and 3 times 3 is 9. There also prime numbers. Prime numbers are numbers that have exactly two divisors. The number one is not included because it only has one divisor, itself. The smallest prime number is two, then three, then five, and so on. This list goes on forever and the largest known primes are called Mersenne primes. A Mersenne prime is written in the form of 2p-1. So far, the largest known Mersenne prime is 225,964,951-1, which is the 42nd Mersenne prime. This prime number has 7,816,230 digits!

  • How Does Buddhism Relate And Help To Formulate A Local Understanding Of Transsexuals In Thailand

    1873 Words  | 4 Pages

    As I already mentioned, the number of kathoey´s in Thailand is surpassing, and the origin of this appearance might lie in Religion. The main religion in Thailand is Buddhism, about 95% of the population are Buddhists (3) who follow the rules of this religion in their everyday life. The Thai- Buddhism is called "Theravada Buddhism" and it is a localized form of the original Buddhism which has it's origin in Indian Hinduism (3). The development from the original form to the "modern" Thai Buddhism took place over many years, "the tension between the teachings of the Theravada Buddhism and the Thai animistic practice" (2).This tension was resolved by "appropriating those elements of the Buddhism doctrine that are compatible with animistic thinking and basic human experience."(2). The result of this development of religion is that "institutional and ritual expressions of Thai religion appear to be very Buddhistic indeed, but its characteristic mentality is not so much interested in the moral message of the Theravada as in auspiciousness, worldly continuity and the manipulation of saksit (supernatural "sacred") power"(2).

  • Binary

    Do you remember watching the movie, The Matrix? Do you remember the green columns of zeroes and ones that were streaming down the screen? Those ones and zeros are part of a numbering system called Binary. Binary is a simple system that only utilizes two character symbols but accomplishes large counting tasks. Binary is not a number system you would want to use for everyday tasks because there are no shortcuts, you have to do the equation the same way every time and it takes a long time to do most calculations. That is why we use what is called the Denary (AKA Decimal) number system. The Denary number system is called a base-10 system as opposed to Binary being called a base-2 system. Base-10 means that the system uses ten different characters as symbols, 0-9. As stated above Binary uses only two character symbols, 0-1. The chart below should demonstrate how the two system look compared to one another.

  • Thai Language and Society

    1539 Words  | 4 Pages

    According to “ Language in Society”, An introduction to Sociolinguistics, by Suzanne Romaine, the standard language is normally acquired at home as a mother tongue and continues to be used throughout life. Its main uses are in familial and familiar interactions. In Thailand, the standard language is acquired from home, school and public arenas. Different parts of the country acquire different local languages. However, people have to learn the standard language in order to be able to communicate with the rest of the people from the different parts of the country. It is used in school, governmental office, bank, university, and every public arena. People from Bangkok and its vicinities mostly acquire standard language from home as a mother tongue. Unlike people from other parts of the country who acquire local language as a mother tongue. Both local and standard languages serve the same purpose. They are used in normal conversation, with family member, friend, and other familiar interaction or with the normal domains such as school, governmental office, etc.
