=========== Thainess

The Thai people's way of life and culture, or what we call "Thainess", is not just found in murals or other artwork, because they are deeply implanted in the people's souls. Thailand boasts a strong culture, traditions, beliefs, values and customs that are unique and extraordinary — a harmonious mix of cultures intertwined with the quintessential Thai way of life.

According to TAT, the components of Thainess are:


 * Thai fun: The brilliant emerald-green waters of the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea contrast with the blue skies above and the white sand of the shore. With captivating sunsets, gentle winds and clear skies, Thailand has become one of the most fashionable beach destinations in the world.Islands in Thailand, from Phi Phi to Tarutao, boast beautiful bays, beaches, cliffs, caves and have many options for diving and snorkeling. The amazing world beneath the turquoise water is as beautiful as the world above it. Visit famous beach towns like Phetchaburi, Surat Thani or Phuket which have excellent hospitality and services. Apart from beach activities, don’t forget to try out some of the other adventure sports Thailand has to offer. Martial arts like Muay Thai, the national sport, will get you fit and having fun. Thailand definitely has everything you need for a memorable holiday. So be active and enjoy your stay in the colorful country.


 * Thai festivity: In Thailand, rich and colorful festivals are held all over the country all throughout the year. Every region celebrates its unique culture and some provinces are well-known outside of Thailand for their incredible celebrations. Most festivals are connected with religion and the cultivation cycle of rice. The timing of the festivals is calculated according to the Buddhist lunar calendar, and thus their dates change every year. Among tourists, Songkran — often referred to as the Water Festival — is popular. During the celebrations people splash, pour and shoot water at each other for three fun-filled days. Another colorful festival held annually across Thailand is Loy Krathong. The festival’s name derives from the Thai word “loy” meaning “to float” and the colorfully decorated, lotus-shaped “krathong” that Thais construct by hand to carry incense and flowers as these little vessels float down rivers or across ponds and lakes. It is one of the most beautiful Thai festivals, and it is a time to give thanks to the goddess of the waters and to seek forgiveness for past misdeeds.
 * Thai food: Modern art has not been around in Thailand as long as it has in Western countries, but the Thai creative arts have existed for centuries. And this creativity isn’t limited to painting, it is also apparent in Thai food. The history of royal Thai food can be traced back as far as the sixteenth century, over 350 years ago. Royal Thai cuisine is prepared and served in a unique manner. Special skills are required to cook and display the food. Only the best and freshest ingredients are used for making royal Thai food. Vegetables and fruit are delicately carved into flowers, birds and other types of animals. These edible works of art are creative and unique. The culinary arts require time and effort. Royal Thai cuisine takes a tremendous amount of time to prepare and cook. A troop of helpers is needed for the royal kitchen. However, it is worth these great efforts. The flavor of the carefully crafted dishes are the reward.


 * Thai way of life: Though the authentic Thai way of life is slow and humble, Thailand’s bustling capital is one of the Far East’s most energetic cities. Bangkok’s frantic streets are crowded with steaming food stalls at all hours of the day. So do indulge in a street cart or two, they are a fun part of the local culture. You can hop on a three-wheeled tuk tuk to explore the secrets of Bangkok and find a Thai experience uniquely your own. Visit local temples on national holidays. Experience festivals and temple fairs that are colorful, noisy and fun — a perfect day out with family or friends. Ring toss, dart throwing, games of chance, shooting — you can try your hand win a prize. Enjoy cotton candy and other local delights while watching local performances to experience Thailand’s simple but vibrant local culture that you won’t find in any major tourist destinations.


 * Thai wellness: Thailand is full of local wisdom and endowed with natural resources that can cure or prevent diseases. Centuries of collecting and practicing herbal medicine have created a great amount of local knowledge and helped Thai traditional medicine to become famous all around the world. Thai herbs are gift from nature and have played an important role in health and beauty for centuries. This indigenous wisdom has been passed on from generation to generation. The use of natural products for healing is another example of the Thai people’s connection to the natural world. The art and science of Thai traditional massage is now well accepted by the people around the globe. Renowned as the “Health Capital of Asia,” Thailand offers some of the best medical centers where the ancient wisdom of Thai traditional massage is incorporated into holistic medicine. If you want to understand more about Thai traditions, values and culture, try exploring some of the spas at five-star hotels or other local venues, and you will gain pleasure from the experience.


 * Thai arts: Thailand is home to a rich and diverse cultural heritage. The Thai people have preserved their cultural values and traditions, while showing an ability to absorb, imitate and assimilate elements of foreign cultures that complement their own aesthetic preferences. Thai cultural heritage takes many forms from tangible legacies seen in golden temples, royal palaces, Thai houses, murals, paintings, as well as arts and crafts. It is also present in Thai music and performance, and even in the ancient martial art of Muay Thai.


 * Thai wisdom: Thailand’s tropical climate opens up an array of opportunities for fun in the sun. The friendly climate and abundance of natural resources is an important part of Thai heritage. In the past, people made their living traditionally from agriculture, farming and fishing. These days Thai children are still taught the famous lines, ‘nai naam mee bplaa, nai naa mee kao’, meaning ‘in the water there are fish, in the fields there is rice.’ Thai people regard this bounty as a blessing and have great respect for nature. Though urbanization has increased rapidly, Thai people still yearn for a simple and slow way of life. Thai people enjoy a ‘sabai sabai (or relaxed) lifestyle, and this phrase sums up the authentic Thai way of life. If you’re looking for chill holiday and a way discover a slow-paced life you’ll want to book a stay outside of the city. Thailand has one of the most pristine natural landscapes in Southeast Asia. It’s a beautiful country of high mountains, densely forested hills and endless rice paddies, irrigated by the mighty Mekong River. Thailand also boasts a number of temples and meditation spots for those who would like to practice and seek peace of mind.
