Just outside Bangkok, there is a popular
tourist place called "The Rose Garden" which has a
Thai Vilage Culture Show. It was really interesting but for me
I think that it is a little expensive (480 baht) and souvenirs
there are very expensive. Lots of people go there as part of
a one day tour from Bangkok which also includes the Floating
Market.

Ordination Into The Monkhood
In Thailand, young men usually
spend a period of time in the Buddhist Monkhood. Buat Naag
is the traditional procession and ceremony for entry into the
Monkhood, and is attended by the man's relatives and close friends
who make the event into a colorful, joyful and enjoyable occasion
as the young man embarks on a period of study and meditation.
Fingernail Dance
The Fingernail Dance is a graceful dance which originated in
the North of Thailand and is usually performed as a gesture of
greeting and welcome.
Thai Boxing
Thai-style boxing, accompanied by its unique ritual and ceremony,
is extremely popular in Thailand. Fighters can use just about
everything-elbows, hands, feet, knees. It is an art that demands
a high degree of skill and fitness.
