Since I first went to Thailand 5 years ago, I have always admired the country for its rich culture and people. I was very amazed by how great the Thai people admired their King, and I learnt that yellow was a significant colour that represented the King. This was very interesting to me because most of the souvenirs in Thailand are in yellow too. The King’s picture was often featured everywhere, from money dollar notes and coins, newspapers, in people’s homes to the mass media everyday. Also, pictures and souvenirs of elephants were found almost everywhere I went to. I then found out that elephants were also part of the Thai people.
I am very impressed that the Thais take pride in their culture and are very proud in it. They have made efforts to preserve their culture and at the same time, modern their cities so as to attract people with their rich culture.
