Când pasesti întaia oara pe pamantul cald al Thailandei nu banuiesti ce comori asteapta sa le descoperi – orase ultramoderne cu autostrazi suspendate si zgârie-nori, temple acoperite de aur, hoteluri pline ochi cu turisti, elefanti zeificati la tot pasul, insule fermecate în oceanul perfect albastru, case plutitoare, duhuri bune si rele care colinda strazile, casele si palatele, dealuri pictate cu plantatii de ceai, munti îmbracati în bambus si salcâm, temple în care budismul nu este numai religie, ci si morala si mod de viata, oameni calzi si apropiati pe care desi îi vezi prima oara îi simti ca din familie.
Afli aici ca THAI înseamna libertate, Thailanda necunoscând niciodata stapânirea vreunei puteri europene, iar oamenii sai liberi îti zâmbesc mereu.
Festivalurile sezoniere sunt presarate pe parcursul intregului an.
Daca in septembrie ai Cupa Regelui la Polo cu Elefanti, in octombrie are loc Procesiunea barcilor illuminate. In noiembrie incepe Parada Elefantilor din Surin- o parada plina de culori si o competitie sportiva cu elefanti, iar in Decembrie: King’s Cup Regatta, desfasurata pe Coasta insulei Phuket la Marea Andaman.

THAILAND, the country from the heart
Corina Hinkov / www.vacantierul.ro
When you walk for the first time on the earth warm of Thailand, you don’t suspect what treasures are waiting to be discovered – ultramodern cities with elevated highways and skyscrapers, temples covered with gold, hotels brimming with tourists, elephants deified everywhere, charming islands on a perfect blue ocean, floating homes, good and bad spirits wandering the streets, houses and palaces, hills painted with tea plantations, mountains dressed in bamboo and willow, temples where Buddhism is the only religion, but also a moral lifestyle, warm people that although you see for the first time, feel like family.
You find out that THAI means freedom, and Thailand never knew the oppression of any European power, its free people always smiling.
Seasonal festivals are scattered throughout the year.
In September, you can enjoy the King’s Cup at Elephant Polo, while in October, the illuminated boat procession takes place. In November starts the Surin- Elephant Parade a parade full of color and a sports competition with elephants, and in December: King’s Cup Regatta, held on the Andaman Sea coast of Phuket.
