Thai Culture

	Most Thai people are Buddhists and their beliefs are very important to them.
	The Thais also have very colorful and exciting mythologies.
	Temples like this one are called 'wats'. They are where most Buddhists go to worship.
	It's not always possible to get to a temple, so small shrines are often constructed. Someone has kindly left a bottle of water here as an offering.
	Even the Buddhist monks get out occasionally for a bit of sightseeing or shopping. The orange robes are a common sight in Thailand.
	The Thais are very proud of their traditional dances.
	This dance recreates a harvest ritual.
	Elephants are a common sight in many parts of Thailand. Their riders often stay with them for life.
