~ProuD tO B Thai~
Interesting articles I read yesterday. I have been told by the youngsters of Thai and Non-thai through one campaign that rises by International group, Dublin (How ironic is that? I asked myself), about this land, my home country. After read this, my heart is filled with gold pure feeling. This is how much I can say …
I love this land so much.
...What matters is that we are all capable of it, regardless of gender, nationality, religion or political belief. A SMILE might not go ever far in stopping bullet, or bringing money into a desperately poor country, but it is a start. We can all do our part, no matter how infinitesimally insignificant if may seem compared to other events. Being the Land of Smiles, we have an obligation to set an example to the rest of the world. If smiles really are infectious, then we might as well start an epidemic...

...The modern Thailand has a long way to go before becoming my dream Thailand, but I am still proud of my home country as it is. Though this country’s scenic beauty is well known throughout the world, it is the people of Thailand that I feel proud of. Thais, for the most part are friendly and helpful. The word nam jai describes the courtesy, politeness, and charismatic warmth of the Thai people...

...Thailand is a very strong nation, with fierce pride due to its great history. Many have fought and died to secure the freedom of Thailand, the Land of the Free. A folk tale tells of a time when Thailand was under the control of Burma. A Thai man challenged a Burmese man to a contest: If the Thai man could stay under water longer, then Thais could regain control of their own country. While under water the Thai man tied a rock to his feet so that he had no way of coming up, sacrificing his life for the freedom of the people. The story shows how valuable freedom is to Thailand, yet even today many people live oppressed within its borders.

...Development is not only measured by economic growth. Development also means good public health, appropriate education, wise use of natural resources, conservation of the environment and culture, equitable income distribution, job opportunities, and the freedom to choose one’s own way of living… every citizen must cooperate and participate in both preventing and solving these problems before they become even more severe...The Kingdom of Thailand has stood strong in the face of many wars, diseases and changes for hundreds of years, and its people will continue to stand, side by side to face future problems...

...Thai culture is evident everywhere you go, whether you are standing in a rural village in the middle of nowhere or going up an elevator in the middle of a fast-paced modern city. The colors and patterns of our country surround us everywhere. That is because our culture is so alive and such a part of us. From the simple WAI to a complex Thai wedding ceremony, Thai culture and tradition is intertwined in the fabric of our everyday lives. All nations must be given a chance to become the best they can be; they must make use of all their resources and unique cultures. It is important to remember that culture must be maintained throughout and within development. One can’t be without the other...
