A visit to Thailand or even the desire to visit the country is indeed appreciable as the country has lots to offer. However it is not good to enter the country being naive; you ought to have some basic concept of the reigning Thai culture along with that of Thailand. What is the basic identity of Thailand? It is a country of southeastern Asia that extends southward along the Isthmus of Kra to the Malay Peninsula. Is this knowledge enough? The answer is straight – NO.
Thailand happens to be the 50th largest country in the global arena in terms of total area with a surface area of around 513,000 km2 (198,000 sq mi), and the 21st most-populous country, with close to 64 million people. The nation is governed by a constitutional monarchy with King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the ninth king of the House of Chakri, as the ruling monarch.
The king is acknowledged for doing several jobs. He is the Head of State, the Head of the Armed Forces, the Upholder of the Buddhist religion, and Defender of the Faith. When would you like to go there? Well, even though you may visit the country at any time, it’s always better if the visit coincides with the Songkran water festival, held from 13th to 15th of April in Chiang-Mai over three days.
The basic job of the festival is to welcome the Thai New Year and is immensely popular with travelers around the world. The festival starts together with a customary cleaning of houses by the locals.
But this is not the sole attraction. The most well-known feature or the reason for the burgeoning interests of tourists is something else. It is the massive water fight that happens on the last day. Observing a morning of religious ceremonies, Chiang-Mai explodes abruptly into chaos and water is hurled, on locals and tourists alike for the rest of the day. The festival is highly enjoyable and many Thai tour operators issue cheap ticket as well at this time.
You can rummage around for it.
