The National Anthem The united Thai nation is of the flesh of the Thai family We are wholly a Thai people, country and land. Alive, we can enduringly stand together by fully intending love and unity of the Thai. The Thai love peace, but in war we are not cowardly. Independent, we won't oppress anyone. To sacrifice every drop of blood is national sacrifice; the ascending Thai nation will increasingly have victory. Hooray!

Thai people are very patriotic. The national flag is raised and lowered all over the country at exactly 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The flag in the playground is flown seven days a week even when there are no students present. The national anthem, is played on all the radio and t.v. stations twice a day and often over loudspeakers outside the city hall and other government buildings. The king's anthem is usually played before any sporting event and before a movie at the cinema. In all cases, even if you are eating a bowl of noodles at a bus station, it is expected to show the proper respect by stopping what you are doing and standing up.

The national flag of Thailand has five, three-coloured horizontal stripes: red, white and blue. The red stands for the Thai Nation. The white stands for the Buddhist faith. The blue stands for the monarchy.
