Thai is the official language of Thailand, and is spoken by some 65 million people. Thai is written in a variation of the Khmer script that is used in Cambodia and Laos. Thai writing uses 44 consonants and 15 vowels, and no capital or small letters (similar to many other Asian languages). Learn a few basic phrases. My favorites are: Sawadeekap (in English sa-what-ee-cop) -- Hello Kapgunkap (cop-goon-cop) -- Thank you Soi Mak Ma (soy mock maaaaa) -- That is very beautiful (and yes, you say maaaaa!) http://www.thai2english.com/ ... here is a Thai-English dictionary.

Remember to remove your shoes when entering temples. This is a sign of respect for Buddha. You should have no trouble at the larger, and busier temples because there will be a pile of shoes at the entrance. Once inside the temple, never point the soles of your feet at the statue of Buddha.

Helpful page with all the tips. Looks like an interesting place to visit. Not sure about the snakes though. | MissNicole Thu Jun 24, 2004 23:40 UTC

Nice page. I wish there was sound so I could get the pronounciation of the phrases you have listed. I have been reading about Thialand and the more I read the more I would like to go.=^oo^= |
