Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Thailand accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Thailand and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Thailand is a multi-cultural society and is home to a variety of ethnicities, religions, and cultures. It is not uncommon to find people in Thailand of Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Burmese, and Laotian descent. Despite the many differences among the country's population, Thais have shown a strong commitment to celebrating diversity and respecting cultural differences. This attitude is encouraged by both the government and society, with various events and initiatives promoting multiculturalism and the acceptance of different backgrounds," explained one expat living in Thailand.
