event that students of Professional English 1 and Titas a combination of two subjects
for one task in semester 1 Unikl Mitec had been assigned task to participate in
‘Culture Festival’ to give more information on external culture and the event held on
(tarikh). This event will cooperate with a number of booths, representing different
countries as prepared by the student Unikl Mitec. The event is to create an interest in
understanding the similarities and differences between our culture and external
culture. the country that was being chosen is Thailand.To provide students with some
information about Thailand habits and other cultural aspects, this approach aims to
invite students to explore differences and draw comparisons with their own cultural
backgrounds so that they can become aware of the similarities and contrasts between
their own cultures and the Thailand one, broaden their horizons and reach a better
society, this aspects of the greatest importance and therefore, cannot be forgotten
when teaching anew language. Next, to introduce to the students the modification of
the Thailand traditional food suitable to our culture. Sporting activities of Thais
blend well into their agricultural way of life example Thai Boxing (Muai Thai) and
Takro Lot Huang (Kicking a Rattan Ball). Therefore, the event aims to attract Unikl
Mitec students to look at foreign culture and see the tradition of Thai clothing, games
and cuisine. in a group of ten, each team member was given a different task, this
paper will cover background events, Thai history,current events, tentative events,
4.0 BACKGROUND
The name was changed to Thailand after World War II (John Misachi, 2018). At the time
country join the war, it developed a friendly relations with United Sates, which is maintained
for a long period (John Misachi, 2018). Field Marshal Phibunsongkhram came up with
official orders and mandates that changed country name from siam to thailand (John Misachi,
2018). The name officially changed on June 23 rd, 1939 (John Misachi, 2018). Changing
country name was part of his strategies to developing and modernize the country and bring it
at the same level as other developed countries of the world (John Misachi, 2018).
The original flag of Thailand The original national flag of Thailand, in use from perhaps
the 17th century, was plain red. When other states in the area displayed similar flags and
commerce increased, it became necessary to add a symbol to the design for ready
identification. In 1782 a white chakra (wheel), symbol of the ruling Chakri (Chakkri)
dynasty, was put on the flag of navy vessels, and in 1855 both navy and privately owned
vessels displayed a red flag with a white elephant in the centre. The rare white elephant had
long been a symbol of good fortune
associated with the nation. Figure 2 show the flag of Thailand that the country use as spirit of
country. As we know every country must have own flag for simbolic of country and there
have meaning on every colour or art in flag. For flag thailand, every colour are representation
of an unofficial motto on nation, religion and King of Thailand.
Red represents the land, people and the blooded as the country tried to gain
independence.
White stand for religion (Buddism) and purity.
Blue is the colour of the Monarchy.
4.1 SPORTS
The Traditional martial art of thai boxing (muay thai) is Thailand national sports (Charles
F. Keyes, 1994). This martial art is similar uses kick and punch in a ring similar to those used
in Western Boxing and it form of unarmed combat that is accompanied by a traditional music
(Charles F. Keyes, 1994). Any part of the body is a fair target, and only the head may not be
used to strike (Charles F. Keyes, 1994). Before muay thai bout to perform the boxer will
started a ram muay first, a five minute dance to give the tribute to their teacher and spirit of
thai boxing(Charles F. Keyes, 1994).
Next, the traditional game of takraw, in which particpants attempt to keep a woven rattan
ball from touching the ground without using hands, is very popular among young men
(Charles F. Keyes, 1994). It is an internationally sport within Southeast Asia, Thailand also
adopted a western sports such as football is a highly spectator sport (Charles F. Keyes, 1994).
Figure 3 below shows the takraw ball.
4.2 LANGUAGE
Language is human beings’ means for communication in all parts of the world. All
humans use language for understanding each other in a community (Amara Prasithrattasin,
2005). communication is a tool for people to hold an occupation and perform various
activities in order to live their lives with happiness. Thus, a nation with its own language
always enjoys the pride in having the national language. Thailand has our Thai standard
language as the national language used in various communities and societies. The standard
Thai used in Thailand belongs to a single word family, with a tone on each syllable (Pakasri
Yenbut, Wallapa Thaijinda, and Supak Mahawarakorn, 2007). Foreigners like to say that
Thai language is more difficult to learn because of the various tones (Edward M. Anthony,
Deborah P. French, and Udom Warotamasikkhadit, 1968). Accent in each dialect also differs,
making Thai language learning more difficult than English language learning. Learners have
to pay regular attention to practicing the language in order to be successful and competent.
With the social changes that we are experiencing and people migrating to other countries,
expatriates use their native language with their people in the country of residence. As a result,
cultures and languages become multiple.
Ingredients
2 liters
of water
4 stalks
of
lemongrass
10 Thai chilies
5 cloves of garlic
½ kilo shrimp
2 roma tomatoes
2 teaspoons of sugar
Handful of cilantro
Instruction
3. Take stalks of lemongrass, and first tear off the outermost leaf and throw it out. Then use
a mallet to lightly pound the lemongrass to release the flavors. Then just slice it
diagonally into 1 inch strips or so. Chop 1 thumb sized chunk of the root part of galangal
into slices.
4. Coarsely break about 10 kaffir lime leaves - just tear to help release their flavor, peel
about 5 cloves of garlic. Used about 10 Thai bird chilies (prik kee noo). First, take off the
stem, and then slice them in two pieces.
5. Put the lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, garlic and chilies into the water. Also
put on the lid just so it starts to boil and release all the herb flavors quicker.
6. Boil soup with all the herbs in it for about 10 minutes, toss in the shrimp and turn the fire
to low. Then, add the mushrooms. Take two roma tomatoes and two small white onions
and slice them into wedges and add into the tom yum.
7. Boil the tom yum for about 2 - 3 minutes. Add about 6 tablespoon of fish sauce and 2
teaspoon of sugar.
8. Boil the tom yum for another minute or so and then turn off the heat to avoid the tom
yum to be overcooked. The mushrooms and onions should be soft, and then it’s ready.
9. Finally chop up a handful of fresh cilantro, throw it in the soup, and give the tom yum a
final stir. The lime juice and cilantro taste fresher and more vibrant when not boiled.
4.3.2 Som Tum
Som Tum is spicy green papaya salad. It has the combination taste of sour, sweet, salty and
spicy. This dish comes from the northeastern part of Thailand. Som tum consists of
shredded green papaya which is mixed together with tomatoes, carrots, peanuts, dried shrimp
and etc. Som tum is usually served with sticky rice because sticky rice takes away the sting of
hot chillies.
Ingredients
2 cups of shredded green papaya (or swede/rutabaga)
2 tablespoon of toasted peanuts
2 cloves of peeled garlic
1-2 fresh birds eye chili (or more depending on tolerance)
1 tablespoon of dried shrimp
½ piece palm sugar
7 cherry tomatoes
juice of ½ lime
1½ tablespoon of fish sauce
1-2 tablespoon Thai snake beans (or green beans) cut into 1 inch sticks
Instruction
1. Roughly crush a small handful of unsalted peanuts with mortar and pestle. Set aside.
Wipe the mortar and pestle clean.
2. Melt palm sugar in a small pan at low or medium heat, adding 2 tbs of water. The
cooking process should form a shiny and thick syrup. This makes it easier to mix the
sugar with the salad.
3. Peel the papaya (or swede), shred it with a shredder (or a mandolin slicer) to thin strips
and soak them in cold water while you prepare the rest of the salad. This makes the
papaya crunchier and gets rid of any excess starch from the swede.
4. Cut the green beans into one-inch pieces. Throw away the endings.
5. Take the chilies and peeled garlic and give them a gentle bash with mortar and pestle.
You still ought to see bits and pieces, not a puree. Add the shrimp and continue bashing.
Add the crushed peanuts and mix well.
6. Add the shredded papaya and continue bashing, but not too hard. Just enough so the
mixture soaks up the flavours. Use a bigger spoon as a support tool, that way you can
shift the salad in the mortar and it doesn’t fall out while bashing and mixing.
7. Add the liquid palm sugar, tomatoes, beans, lime juice and fish sauce. Continue to lightly
bash, shift with the spoon, and mix a little more.
Ingredients
Short-grain sticky rice -- 1 1/2 cups
Water -- to cover
Salt -- 1 teaspoon
Instruction
1. Place the rice in a large bowl and fill bowl with enough water to cover rice by 2 to 3
inches. Let soak for at least 3 hours or, if possible, overnight. This is an important step,
so do not skip it.
2. Drain and rinse the rice. Set up a steamer (steel or bamboo) over about 3 inches of water
and line the inside with moistened cheesecloth. Pour the soaked rice into steamer. Bring
the water to a boil over medium flame, cover tightly and steam the rice for 25 to 30
minutes.
3. Meanwhile, bring the coconut milk, sugar and salt to a slow simmer in a medium
saucepan over low heat. Do not boil.
4. When rice is finished, remove it to a large bowl. Stir half the sweetened coconut milk
into the rice. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, cover with plastic wrap and set
aside to rest for about 30 minutes.
5. Place the coconut rice in a large bowl or individual serving bowls. Lay a few pieces of
mango on the side and garnish with a mint sprig. Pour a little of the remaining coconut
milk over each portion and serve at room temperature.
Thailand is a collage of animated scenes that comprise bustling modern cities crowded
with motorbikes and tuk-tuks, Buddhist temples tended by orange-robed monks, hill tribes
selling handicrafts, lush landscapes dotted with traditional farming villages, ancient ruins and
stunning coastlines peppered with gorgeous beaches and blue lagoons. Such a captivating
portrait explains why Thailand is Southeast Asia’s most popular travel destination. Below are
some fascinating place of Thailand to be reviewed:
4.5 Economy
Prior to the 1960s the Thai economy was based primarily on the production of rice
and other foods and goods for domestic consumption and of rice, rubber, teak, and tin for
export. The government then began to promote a shift from agriculture to the manufacture of
textiles, consumer goods, and, eventually, electronic components for export. By the 1980s
Thailand had embarked on a solid path of industrialization; even the economic crisis of the
late 20th century only slowed, but did not halt, this economic transformation (Michael Ray
2016). From 1963 until 1997 the Thai economy was one of the fastest growing in the world.
The adoption of the first national development plan in 1963 spurred the shift from agriculture
to industry. During the 1980s and ’90s numerous export-oriented industries emerged,
primarily in the areas surrounding Bangkok. The large-scale migration of young women and
men from rural communities to the greater Bangkok area drained labour from the
countryside. Those continuing to pursue agriculture turned increasingly to machines to make
up for the shortage of workers, bringing about a shift in the rural economy from subsistence
to market-oriented agriculture. Most of the investment in new technology in the agricultural
sector came from the savings of family members who had gone to work in the cities (Michael
Ray 2016).
Agriculture.
The agriculture sector in Thailand is vital for the social and economic
wellbeing of local people as well as a significant source of foreign currency contributing to
the national economy ( Srivastava, P.; Kumar, U. 2012). An example rice is not only the main
staple crop of the country but also the primary agricultural export. Thailand has for decades
been one of the world’s largest rice exporters. In the past, Thailand has enjoyed consistent
growth in the agricultural sector with increase in the number of agricultural commodities for
export. This was achieved mainly due to land conversion and improved agricultural practices,
such as high input use. A substantial increase in areas under agricultural use continued due to
forest conversion, although a logging ban in all natural forest areas was implemented in 1989
(Minna 2009) .
Agricultural production has diversified significantly to meet domestic and
world market demand. Among the crops produced for the market are cassava, corn (maize),
kenaf (a jutelike fibre), longans, mangoes, pineapples, durians, cashews, vegetables, and
flowers. Cash crops such as rubber, coffee, sugarcane, and many fruits are produced mostly
on large holdings owned by the agribusinesses that began to emerge in the last decades of the
20th century. Tobacco was once an important cash crop, but it declined considerably as
demand dropped (Michael Ray 2016). Such land conversion has created serious concern as
such changes can affect local communities by restricting access to land for food production
(Carlson, K.M.; Curran, L.M.; Ratnasai, D. 2012).
Figure 9 Agriculture areas near Bangkok
Other than that, fish are in agriculture too. In Thailand Fish and other aquatic
life have been the major source of protein in the Thai diet since ancient times (Michael Ray
2016). As deforestation and pollution of streams and rivers led to a decline in freshwater wild
fish, there has been a marked increase in the raising of fish in ponds, especially in
northeastern Thailand (Michael Ray 2016). In addition, the growing consumer demand for
healthy fish products has led to a thriving fish processing industry worldwide. Processing of
fish includes: scaling, cutting, filleting, cooking, salting and canning. When fish fillets or
cans are produced, a large fraction (30–80%) of fish (flesh, heads, bones, fins, skin, tails and
viscera) are left to waste. Fish waste is usually disposed of in landfills or in the sea resulting
in environmental problems which underscore the need for a proper utilization of fish wastes
for the recovery of valuable products. Fish waste can be utilized as ingredients in animal feed
and fertilizer (Zhao et al., 2011) .
Manufacturing
The growth in manufacturing since 1970 has been especially dramatic, reflecting the
large investments made by private firms. Although growth was initially spearheaded by the
garment industry, electronic products assumed the vanguard in the mid-1980s, propelled by
investment and transfer of production from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore
(Michael Ray 2016). Since the late 1990s, Thailand has been a notable exporter of motor
vehicles and, more recently, telecommunications equipment. While industrial development
has been concentrated in and around Bangkok production has also expanded along the eastern
seaboard and, more recently, into northern, especially north eastern, Thailand, where much of
the labour for all industries originates (Michael Ray 2016). In today global business
environment become turbulence and unpredictable which organisation across the locations
encountered the conditions of increasing the competition, and more customer’s demanding.
Improving the organisational performance is extremely importance than it has ever been
previously in order to secure firm’s bottom line and sustain the organisational business
advantage (Snee, 2010; Hoerl and Gardner, 2010; Heavey and Murphy, 2012). For an
example Thailand familiar with fish sauce which is fish sauce is a basic ingredient in
Southeast Asian cuisine, especially in Thailand. It is salty and aromatic, available in a rich,
translucent reddish-golden brown colour, and adds a unique flavor to Thai dishes. In recent
years, aromatic characteristics of Thai fish sauce (called Nam Pla) have been recognized.
Thailand is the leading fish sauce producer in the world. This industry in Thailand has
expanded from domestic scale to becoming an international leader over the last 50 years
(Lopetcharat, Yeung, Park, & Daeschel, 2001).
