If you do, then that&#8217;s unusual. This explains why the local food market is an essential focal point in Thai towns. It is where everyone gets their food, so those people who tell you before you move to Thailand that it&#8217;s dangerous to eat from food stalls don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re talking about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Thai Royal family is significant.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Royal family in Thailand is highly respected and celebrated across the country. You will find a portrait of either the King or his father, King Rama IX, hanging in every classroom. The birthdays and the coronation date of the King and his family are national holidays and are seen as days of celebration. You should be aware that alcohol is not sold on these days out of respect for the Royal family, so be sure to stock up in preparation if you are going on holiday. It is also frowned upon to speak ill of or openly criticise the Royal family, and doing so can result in jail time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Buddism is the main religion.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will see evidence of the religious teachings and beliefs throughout the country. 95 % percentage of Thai people are practising Buddhists. It is common to see monks of all ages walking around draped in their yellow or orange robes on the streets. In fact, before the age of 20, every man in Thailand must become a monk for a short period, usually around three months. Each school day begins with Buddhist prayers, and frequently children will mediate in class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61014\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"thailand\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-pixabay-161183-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Spirit houses<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Spirit House is a miniature version of the building it sits outside of; it houses the spirits disturbed when the building was being built on that site. People make daily offerings to the Spirit House that is found outside their home or a building. People will leave flowers, food, drink or money, etc., to appease the spirits and ask for their protection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Buddhist Temples are everywhere.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 30,000 Buddhist temples or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wats <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">across Thailand. They are in every town, village, and city. They are often beautifully decorated and are places of worship and spirituality. Famous temples include Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Arun in Bangkok, and Wat Rong Khun outside of Chiang Rai. If you are entering a temple, you must be dressed appropriately and be respectful once inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Thai people love festivals.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thailand is famous for its festivals. The celebrations are usually linked to Buddhism or the Royal family. They happen pretty regularly throughout the year, so look forward to lots of bank holidays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular festivals include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Songkran<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0celebrates the Thai new year in April and sees people participating in massive water fights on the street.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Loi Krathong\/ The Lantern Festival<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> symbolises new beginnings and a fresh start. Children and adults will make floating flower baskets and place them in a river every November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Sakon Nakhon Wax Candle Festival<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> marks the end of Buddhist Lent. It is celebrated with a parade of giant hand-carved candle sculptures and a beauty pageant. During the march and beauty pageant, people will be adorned in their national clothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Thai food is delicious.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thailand is famous for its food. Popular dishes include Massaman curry, Pad Thai, Pad Kra Prao (minced pork and rice), sticky mango rice, egg fried rice, and much more. Thai people are big fans of spicy food and fish, so Thailand is perfect for you if you like these things. As previously mentioned, people get most of their nutrition from the local food market. It is customary to get several different dishes and share them with friends and family. The same goes for alcohol; people will split one beer between a group of five. This custom to share your food and drink will come as a shock to most foreigners, but thankfully it also means that you will get to split the bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61018\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491-1536x989.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pexels-neosiam-618491-600x386.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There you have it, seven amazing facts about our TEFL destination of the month!
