The traditional Thai house sis a loose collection of vernacular architectural styles employed throughout the different regions of Thailand.

Poverty in Thailand is primarily a rural phenomenon. As of 2013, over 80 percent of the country's 7.3 million poor live in rural areas. Moreover, an additional 6.7 million were living within 20 percent above the national poverty line and remained vulnerable to falling back into poverty.

With a low cost of living, high quality healthcare at an affordable price, and a wide variety of available real estate to choose from, it is easy to be tempted by the Land of Smiles.

Buddhism in Thailand is strongly influenced by traditional beliefs regarding ancestral and natural spirits, which have been incorporated into Buddhist cosmology. Most Thai people install spirit houses, miniature wooden houses outside their dwellings, where they believe household spirits live. They present offerings of food and drink to these spirits to keep them happy.
