Phuket Culture
Phuket(Thailand) culture is one of the most colorful and interesting in the world, and has in large part been shaped by the countries dominant religion. Around 95% of Thailand’s population is Buddhist, and evidence of this can be seen absolutely everywhere.
There are many signs of Buddhism threaded into every day life in Phuket, and temples are the most obvious. Wat Chalong (the largest temple on the island) is a great place to witness first hand the uniqueness and beauty of this eastern religion. Orange robed monks are frequently seen walking the streets, and statues of the Buddha can be found absolutely everywhere.
An interesting characteristic of Thailand , when compared to many other southeastern countries, is the fact that women are actively involved in business affairs and the arts.
Thai is the country’s official language, with Lao, Chinese, Malay, and Mon-Khmer also spoken. English is taught in secondary schools and is also used in government and commerce. In most tourist areas, communicating in English is not a problem.
Known as the land of 1000 smiles, the Thai people are some of the friendliest in the world. At times, a simple smile is all it takes to break down a language barrier.
Thais are very respectful of the King and as a tourist you should be aware the any offences against the King could be punishable. Also everyone is expected to stand when the national anthem is played.
