Thank you to everyone who commented on last week's post, "What do you know about Thailand." We found out some very interesting things about Thailand:

- Thailand has a constitutional monarchy.

- There is less than 1% of Christians in Thailand. (It is overwhelmingly Buddhist, and most are of Theravada belief system.)

- Thailand is a very modest culture in terms of dress and temperament, though they don't approve of most American dress customs.

These are solid facts about the country you are going to. As for everyone who said they no nothing, that's fine because you will, especially while you are in the country.

Now, let's devulge a little deeper into your country. What I would like to ask is what problems does Thailand face? Are there factors that make everyday living very difficult? Are they environmental? Political? Ethnic and Social? Religious?

Let's see what we can find and report our findings back here. If you are stuck, try a news site. They are usually great for country information as well as the most up-to-date issues affecting where you are going.

*Side-note - Thank you for posting so many bios this past week. Very excited to meet all of you at training camp.
