Thailand is a country with a long and rather interesting history, which is difficult to fit into one article. Nevertheless, here we will try to tell you about the main features of the Kingdom. The entire population of Thailand currently stands at more than 65 million people. It is based on the Thai peoples, which include over 15 ethnic groups. Besides them, there are also many Chinese, Khmer, Malays and other peoples in the country. Thai is the official language in the country, and over 95% of the total population are Buddhists. However, there are even Christians in Bangkok. The Kingdom of Thailand is a constitutional monarchy in its form of government. The head of Government is the Prime Minister. Since 97, the local senate has become elective. A curious fact: any insults towards the royal family are a state crime. By area, Thailand occupies 513 thousand square kilometers, which is almost the size of France. The climate is mainly determined by the tropical monsoons, which bring up to 2000 mm of precipitation annually. And in mountainous areas, this figure reaches 5000 mm. The first state formations arose from the first millennium of our era. The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, was founded on the site of a small fishing village in the XVIII century. The business card of Thais is their national cuisine, which is rightfully considered one of the best in the world. The most important food in Thailand is rice, as in many other Asian countries. The second one is noodles and pasta. The main drink, oddly enough, is cold water. Coffee, tea, lemonades, beer and brandy are also popular. Thailand has a huge number of eateries with a wide range of dishes. There are practically no menus anywhere, and the offers are almost the same everywhere. The prices also differ insignificantly. For a Russian person, Thailand looks quite unusual and peculiar. Nevertheless, he continues to fascinate everyone who visits this country at least once.
