Botdered by Loas, Burmas, and Cambodia, Thailand Hormerly Siann is today a constitutional monarchy. Its 200,00 square miles has high mountains in the north with great forests of teak and other hard woods, logged by thousands of trained elephants. The countryside has crocodiles, bears, boars, monkeys, sapirs, 5 deer, leopards, rhinoceroses, wild tigers, and an Asia wild ox called sladang. i From the northeastern great plateau region we get rosewood, hides, silk, and stick-lac. In the southeast, there are forested hills, hot springs, waterfalls, and coastal jungles. Thailand exports rice, teak, rubber, maize, jute, and tapioca. There are papermills, machinery plants, and tin and tungsten exports. japanese trade has been greatest, but Thailand has resisted domination from any other country. Buddhism is the national religion and Siamese temples tcalled WATS are wonders of the world.' - decorated with gold leaf, enamels, glass, pottery mosaics, glazed tiles, and . myriads of bells, black laquered doors .. inlaid with mother of pearl. Their neillowarch-inlaying silver 03 blaclg h h enamel-is world renown. Thai sapphires and zitcons are famous, so are bronze and buffalo horn cutlery, silks, and raffla work. The capital Bangkok which serves as SEATO headquarters is an enchantingly lovely city. Bangkok, Siam became more famous in Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical The King and I, which was based upon the experiences of teacher Anna Leonowens and the king and prince of Siam, now known as Thailand. ?
