Thailand means "Land of the Free". Thais have the confidence that comes from being the only Southeast Asian nation never to have been colonized. "Land of Smiles" is another phrase often used to describe Thailand. The tropical climate yields plenty of food for its inhabitants, and phrases like "mai pen rai" (no problem) is often uttered to express confidence that everything will be alright. Combined with a history of freedom, there is plenty to smile about.
The gospel of Jesus Christ has had little appeal in Thailand. The Buddhist culture can make a commitment to the Christian faith seem like a compromise of their "true" identity. Also, attractive entertainment options provide plenty of distractions.
Thailand is a great place to live!
