Hi, My Name’s Book, and I’m 17 years old. This is my first letter to Student Weekly.
It is New Year’s. Thailand is well-known for festivals that take place all the year round. Most of these festivals are influenced by Buddhist and Brahminic religions. However, with the passage of time, a number of new ones have been adopted in deference to international practice.

Thai people are very good at adopting and adapting to new influences on their culture, Book. That's why there are so many holidays and festivals celebrated here to one extent or another. I think that being open to new experiences and traditions is an important part of adapting to the modern world and realising all of the things that it has to offer. — Editor
