General Information about Thailand

National Anthem

The national anthem is played on all ceremonial occasions of national importance, and also daily while the national flag is being hoisted at eight o’clock in the morning and lowered at six o’clock in the evening. The literal translation of its text reads as follows:

The nation is made up of the Thai.
It is a nation of Thai in every part of the land.
It has maintained its rule because the Thai have always been united.
The Thai people are peace-loving, but they are not cowards in times of war.
They shall not allow other to take away their freedom.
The Thai are ready to sacrifice every drop of their blood for the nation.
