Q ,sg f M 1 1 1 4 f W-...ic 74 BANGKUK, THAILAND Floating market, Donburi, Thailand This most popular of all Asian RSLR orts held a wealt 1 of beauty and culture or STRONG's tourists, Thailand is the only nat ion in South East Asia that has never been under foreign rule. All gov- ernmental changes which have taken place have been accomplished by the Thai eople themselves. As a result, the Thai exhibit very little if any dis- trust of Westerners, The Thai people are quiet and very friendly. They traditionally measure their wealth by the number of friends they have, and so we found ourselves warmly welcomed everywhere we went. Durin our five day stay, most of us toured t ie Bangkok area on specially chartered busses. Among the many re- warding places we visited were the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Royal Palace, the Pastueur Institute, the temples of the Reclining Buddha, the Great Buddha and the Dawn, Another feature attraction for us was Thai boxing. In this sport elbows, knees, and fists are freely brought into play. A Thai bout begins with a prayer in which the contestants in- voke all the dieties and sacred things to their aid. T his is followed by a dance to strike fear into their op- ponent's heart. All this is done to appropriate music. Knockouts are common place and are usually accom plished with the feet. Shopping was a unique ex- perience. ln Thailand nearly every quoted price is higher than what is expected. The customer is expected to bargain. It didn't take us long to learn tjhe rules and pick up many fine buys. Many of us left this beautiful country with the sailor's common observation: Glad to have made the stop, sorry to have to leave so soon.
