Over the years, Thailand has attracted many immigrants. The people of Thailand share a rich ethnic diversity consisting of Thai, Mon, Khmer, Laotian, Chinese, Malay, Persian and Indian descendants. As a result, it is not possible to speak of a typical Thai physique. The Thais are on the whole, a group of people who believe that life should be enjoyed, but no one should infringes on others' rights.

The Thais are tolerant and hospitable, and it is easy  to get along with them. Good manners, common sense and a smile are necessities in Thailand. Women have considerable influence in Thai society. Although the men's role is usually accentuated in public, in private, all affairs such as finances and all other trading transactions are generally managed by women. Monarchy and religion are sacred in Thailand, and it is against the law to criticize them, especially in public. Mocking the monarchy, or joking about it, is a serious offense and is punishable by imprisonment.
