This is the first part of the three-part train-the-trainer continuum (T 3, or T-Cubed) in the Boy Scouts of America. The course introduces teaching techniques and skills to new Scout trainers but is also designed to help all Scouters, regardless of their experience, present effective training.
Thailand lies between Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos, with the Gulf of Thailand to its south. Its culture mixes strong Indian influences, Chinese traditions, and elements that are uniquely Thai.With its diverse geography, friendly people, and stunning scenery, the âLand of a Thousand Smilesâ is a must-see destination in South East Asia.uring the 1980s and 1990s, however, Thailand saw a resurgence in local culture and traditions. Although there is still a strong national identity, local food, dances, music, celebrations, and beliefs have begun to play a more important role in Thai life.
Many Thais trace their roots to China. Officially, 14% of the population of Thailand is Chinese, but depending on current fashion, a far greater percent may identify themselves as Thai-Chinese. Whatever the facts may be, most Thais like any excuse for a party - or a sale - and the Chinese or Lunar New Year is no exception. The holiday is celebrated all over Thailand, especially in those areas with large populations of Chinese, such as Bangkok, where the city's Chinatown area is usually the scene of a large block party. 1  Red is the color of the day on Chinese New Year. 2  The Odeon Gate is the center of many of the official celebrations.
