Speaking of Thailand, everyone will think of this is a tourist resort, in fact, Thailand is not famous for tourism, but in the past two years, due to the rise of domestic Thailand tourism, Thailand tourism is more and more developed, of course, only by the efforts of the Thai government is not able to turn Thailand into a famous tourist country, the reason, or rely on “them.”
1. Why is Thailand’s tourism developed?
Thailand is a big tourist destination, with more than 40 million Chinese and foreign tourists visiting the country every year, even more than Japan. The reason why Thailand’s tourism is developed is related to its unique geographical location. Thailand is located in the middle of Indo-China Peninsula, covering an area of about 150,000 square kilometers with a population of about 66 million. Historically, Thailand is a military state and a country ruled by colonialists.
It has been ruled successively by Britain, France, Portugal and Japan. After World War II, the United States occupied Thailand and made it an important overseas military base. At that time, the United States built military bases, airfields, ports and command centers here. By the end of 1980s, due to the strategic adjustment of the United States and the rapid economic development and widespread poverty in Southeast Asia, the tourism market demand in this region increased sharply. At this time, Thailand is also a country with a tropical climate, so a large number of tourists from Europe and Japan come here for summer vacation. Developing countries in Asia are enticing them with cheap air fares. After 1990s, with the rapid economic growth and the rise of tourism in Southeast Asia, the market demand of Thailand expanded rapidly, thus the tourism industry developed rapidly.
2. What are the cultural customs of Thailand?
Thailand is located in the middle of Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, straddling the Indochina Peninsula, bordering Laos and Vietnam to the east, Malaysia and Indonesia to the south, Cambodia and Myanmar to the west, and Thailand to the north. It covers an area of about 240,000 square kilometers, larger than Beijing.
Thailand is about 2,700 kilometers long from north to south and 200 kilometers wide from east to west. It is made up of more than 80 islands of varying sizes. It was founded by the Tai people. With its long coastline and rich tourist resources, Thailand’s diverse geographical location makes it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Thailand has a long and splendid cultural tradition. In social life, it has formed a unique religious culture with Buddhism as the mainstream, polytheistic belief as the supplement and Theravada Buddhism as the basis and the coexistence of various religions, as well as an elegant culture represented by palace architecture and court art. In Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, there is the Grand Palace, known as the Pearl of the Orient and the Museum of Modern Art; The ancient city of Chiang Mai, a center of Buddhist culture and art in Thailand; Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai and other world-famous film locations are international tourist hotspots. Thailand is known as the Land of a thousand Buddhas. Buddhism is the state religion of Thailand. There are many temples in Bangkok, Pattaya and other big cities.
3. Why are Thailand’s tour guides famous?
Tour guide is the face of a country, is a country’s representative, is the embodiment of national strength. For a country, a tour guide is like the soul and eyes of a person. As a Buddhist country, Thailand enjoys a worldwide reputation, and the tour guide has become one of the name cards of Thailand. So why are there so many good guides in Thailand? Thai tour guides pay great attention to training tourists in etiquette: when communicating with tourists, they should use Thai, English and Chinese; Say “I’d love to” or “Thank you very much” when answering a guest’s question; When dining with guests, put aside the things on the table; Say “go slow” when saying goodbye to a guest; Talk to guests in Thai and Chinese…
The professional quality of Thai tour guides is amazing. It takes years of rigorous training. As we know, Thailand is a tourist country. But it has a mission beyond tourism — “national education.” “National education” includes learning, sports, art, life and other aspects. In terms of learning, I mainly study English and Thai. Swimming is the main sport; The art is mainly dance; Life is mainly a variety of activities such as Muay Thai boxing.
The professional quality of Thai tour guides is very high, with rich professional knowledge and experience, so the sense of service is also very good. Thailand’s tourism industry has developed not only because of the policy, but also because of the efforts of people from all sides. What do you think?
