The Kingdom of Thailand lies in Southeast Asia, with Laos and Cambodia to its east, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to its south, and the Andaman Sea and Myanmar to its west. The country's official name was Siam, until 24 June 1939. The word Thai means "freedom" in the Thai language and is also the name of the majority ethnic group.

ECONOMY. Thailand has a pro-business market economy driven by strong foreign investments and export oriented manufacturing especially in electronics, foods and automobiles. Thailand’s exports account for 60% of the country’s GDP. Thailand experienced strong economic growth prior to the Asian economic crisis of 1997 with GDP growth averaging 9.4% annually. However, the crisis adversely affected businesses in Thailand and saw the value of the Thai Baht decline by more than 50% against the US... Read Full Story
The origins of place names sometimes quite interesting. I have stumbled upon the one for the district Hot in Chiang Mai reading a book I did not expect to find anything on the administrative entities - Sacred Mountains Of Northern Thailand And Their Legends by Donald K. Swearer. As the title says, the book is on religious folktales, especially on the travels of Lord Buddha in northern Thailand on which he left those footprints and other relics now worshiped by the local people. After the... Read Full Story

Googeling the websites of the local government units - municipalities and subdistrict administrative organizations - I have come across some who are present on the blogging sites Blogspot or Wordpress. Announcing news from the administration is something where a RSS feed comes most handy, so one does not have to visit the website every now and then only to notice that something interesting was announced on short notice and is over already. While any decent content management system would... Read Full Story

Ein Uno-Bericht belastet einen mutmalichen Massaker-Drahtzieher aus dem Kongo schwer. Der 46-Jhrige lebte jahrelang in Mannheim und hat offenbar von Deutschland aus Milizen in der Heimat gesteuert. Der Report gibt einen tiefen Einblick in Strukturen der FDLR – und ihre Brutalitt im Krieg um Rohstoffe.
Das Gesicht von jugendlicher Frische, die Stimme eher leise, und... Read Full Story
Over the past six years I've stayed in Udon Thani city for a total of well over 100 days. Those days have been spread over about 20 trips to the Land of Smiles and so I like to think I know a little about the city, its people and the whole shebang. It is a city in need of investment and promotion, I thought I'd invest a little of my time in trying to promote it.
For those of you not in the know, first a little bit of Udon Thani bio.
Udon Thani is the capital of Udon Thani province in... Read Full Story
Während man in westlichen Ländern Liebesschwüre bevorzugt in Hartholz schnitzt, bevorzugt man in Thailand den kurzlebigen Bambus.
Ob die Kurzlebigkeit des Bambus mit den eingeschnitzten Liebesschwüren ein Synonym für die Kurzlebigkeit von vielen thailändischen Beziehungen ist ?
Fakt ist, daß viele Beziehungen in Thailand schon bei kleinsten Problemen scheitern. Thailänder hassen Probleme wie die Pest und machen ebenso ein großen Bogen um deren Klärung. Man rennt lieber weg und... Read Full Story
