Thailand is country that seems to have adopted technology much quicker than most countries and the people have been able to create the country as a business and tourist center. However, these cities and beaches only represent a small percentage of the people and their way of life.
Only about a third of Thailand's population lives in cities and the differences in the way of life from this urban population to those on southern islands dedicated to tourism, and the rural lifestyle of those throughout much of the country can be quite different.
For these urban dwellers life appears similar to that of Europe, Singapore, or Hong Kong. Many people have jobs that work regular hours, public transportation is convenient, and nearly everything needed is easily accessible. The way of life is often times determined by working hours, which tends to be from about 8:30 am to about 5:00 pm, and school hours, which typically run from about 7:30 am to about 2:00 pm.
