Human Geography: Culture




Thailands speaks mostly Thai and English. Their religion is 94.6% Buddhist, 4.6% Muslim, .7% Christian, and .1% other. The food there is mostly hot and spicey with some influences from China. One traditional belief in Thailand is that families send their 20 year old son son(s) on a 3 month monk hood. Also, in Thailand, they have a specific greeting called the Wai. To do the Wai, you bring your palms together, having your fingers faced up like you're praying, and drop your head in respect to the person you're greeting.
