Which is better Thailand now or Thailand 50 year ago
Thailand is an amazing country; there is no doubt about that. The old traditions are still carried forward, the people are friendly and helpful and the monarchy continues to reign. There are many things to experience in Thailand. One question you may ask yourself is where this country will be in the next 50 years. For any proper answers to that question, you may have to look at Thailand now and fifty years in the past.
Today Thai culture has more or less evolved to suit the times. The country has all the modern amenities of the western world but has managed to still keep its rich culture going. The king of Thailand still reigns and the royal family is highly respected. Buddhism is still the main religion of Thailand and monks are treated with the utmost respect much like they were in the past. Modern technology may have transformed some of the activities to make them more suitable to the times.
The monarchy has ruled over Thailand for a long time and will probably still continue to do so in the future. Even with a democracy, the king still holds some power over the country. It is unlikely that this will change very fast. There may be a new king by that time, but the monarchy will no doubt still remain.
Thai culture may continue to thrive even after all those years, depending on whether the generations of today pass the information down to their descendants. Technology may have evolved in that time and people may be using the latest gadgets. History books will tell of today’s achievements and famous people.
The people of today may all pass away saving the few blessed enough to see the newer generations and their achievements. A lot can happen in fifty years. Until that time comes, we won’t truly know what this beautiful country can be capable of.
