Community Service in Thailand

Thailand, the “land of the free,” is also known as “the land of smiles.” Although Bangkok records the highest temperatures of any capital city in the world and is choked with smog and traffic—sometimes worsened by wandering elephants—Thailand is one of Asia’s most popular tourist destinations. Among the lures is a culture never modified by Western colonization, reflecting the diverse influences of China, Burma and the religion of Buddhism, which teaches hospitality and kindness. Equally irresistible are Thailand’s luxurious beaches, plentiful ancient ruins and glorious Buddhist temples.

Living in Thailand

Lifestyle and family living

Thais are generally respectful and reserved. They are also caring, warm-hearted and sensitive, and they find it difficult to say “no.” Extended Thai families are very close (which will give you a chance to visit your host relatives nearby) and are customarily patriarchal. Both parents usually work. Caring for the children and managing the household are generally the responsibility of the wife. The father is more involved with work outside the home.

Food

Rice is the staple food of Thailand. It is often served with meat, fish, vegetable or egg dishes. Curry, peanut and pepper sauces are popular. Typical meats include pork and chicken. A wide variety of fruit is available year-round. To be safe, it is advisable to drink water only if has been bottled or purified.

Thai families generally share their evening meal together. It is considered inappropriate for participants living with host families to request foods that are not served or to prepare their own food. It may be difficult if to place you if you are a strict vegan, although vegetarians find a number of options.
