Geography
Thailand is located in south-east Asia bordering the Gulf of Thailand, between Burma and Cambodia. The country occupies a total area of 514,000 sq km of which 511,770 sq km is on land. It has a 4,863 km long land boundary and 3,219 km of coastline. A map of Thailand is available.
The climate is tropical - rainy, warm cloudy south-west monsoon from mid-May to September and dry, cool north-east monsoon from November to mid-March. The terrain consists of a central plain, an eastern plateau and mountains elsewhere. Natural resources include tin, rubber, natural gas, tungsten, tantalum, timber, lead, fish, gypsum, lignite and flourite.
People
Thailand has a total population of 58,722,437 (July 1993 est.). Nationals of Thailand are known as Thai. 75% of the population are Thai and 14% are Chinese. Buddhism make up the major religion (95%). Thai and English are spoken.
Government
The country's official name is Kingdom of Thailand and in short, Thailand. The government is a constitutional monarchy. The capital is Bangkok. Thailand was founded in 1238 and was never colonized. The national holiday is His Majesty the King's birthday on 5 December (1927).
The Thai flag consists of five horizontal bands of red (top), white, blue (double width), white, and red.
Economy
Thailand's economy recovered rapidly from the political unrest in May 1992 to post an impressive 7% growth rate for the year. Thailand, one of the more advanced developing countries in Asia, depends on exports of manufactures and the development of the service sector to fuel the country's rapid growth. The trade and current account deficits fell in 1992; much of Thailand's recent imports have been for capital equipment suggesting that the export sector is poised for further growth. With foreign investment slowing, Bangkok is working to increase the generation of capital domestically. Prime Minister CHUAN's government - Thailand's fifth government in less than two years - is pledged to continue Bangkok's probusiness policies, and the return of a democratically elected government has improved business confidence. Nevertheless, CHUAN must overcome divisions within his ruling coalition to complete much needed infrastructure development programs if Thailand is to remain an attractive place for business investment. Over the longer-term, Bangkok must produce more college graduates with technical training and upgrade workers' skills to continue its rapid economic development.
There are about 10,000 people every month at Koh Phangan beach party. It is of course known as the Full Moon Party. International and Thai DJ's are making the crowd go wild. Paint yourself in UV colors and let your body lose control. The DJ's play all kinds of music; Techno, Trance, Goa, D&B, Dub, Reggae, Commercial hits, House etc. There are many small tables on the beach where you can sit down with your friends or meet new ones. You can order drinks and food from the restaurants and the bars next to the beach.
