Government Resources: For U.S. Citizens, the following links will lead you to the Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. The Thai Embassy site will provide you with Visa requirements for U.S. Citizens, and other general information on Thailand. The U.S. Embassy site links to the U.S. Citizen Services section, providing a full range of services to U.S. Citizens visiting or living in Thailand. For citizens of other countries, a search on Yahoo or Google for embassy information will lead you to the proper sites. The Public Relations Department of Thailand also maintains a website with a large volume of information and useful links to other sites of interest, all in English.
| Thai Wats (Temples): There are Thai Wats throughout the United States, and they provide an excellent introduction into the Thai culture and way of life. For those in the U.S. with a Thai friend or spouse, the Wat provides a needed link to home. For those who would just like more exposure to Thai culture, many Wats provide activites and education. The Los Angeles Wat becomes a meeting place on weekends where they can worship, meet friends, or just enjoy some authentic Thai food. There are links below to the Los Angeles Wat (the largest in the U.S.), the Houston Wat, and a directory of Wats in the U.S. by state. The Los Angeles Wat site has some interesting information about the various major Thai holidays in its "activity" section.
