of the fastest-growing,most economically dynamic and socially progressive cities in Southeast Asia.But it suffers from social problems as a result of its rapid growth.It is also one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations.第15页BangkokBangkok16Bangkok is the economic center of Thailand.Tourism is a major source of revenue.The city contains many Buddhist temples(known in Thai as Wats),The city is a famous jewelry center,buying and selling silver and bronze ware第16页17第17页Thai BuddhismBuddhism is Thailands main religion.94%of Thai people are Buddhist.Buddhism is linked with the historical Indian prince,Siddharta Gautama（释释迦迦牟牟尼尼）,who became the Buddha and reached the enlightenment.Now his teachings are still followed.His teachings say that people suffer because they are attached to material things,to women or men by heart links.These links cause suffer,jealousy and pain.People are never satisfied,i.e.they want more money,more power.The aim of Buddhism is to get rid of these pains and of these links.第18页Thai Buddhism If you have done good deeds in your life,next life will be better.If you have done bad deeds,next life will be harsh.第19页Monks in Thailand20Monks life is based on 227 monastic mnstk僧 侣 rules and 5 major precepts,i.e.no sex,no lies,no robbery,no alcohol,no killing.A boy is not a man if he hasnt been a monk once in his life.Even the King of Thailand Rama 9（罗罗摩摩）had been a monk for one month.In old days this period was three months.Now it can be only a few weeks or a few days.第20页Monks in Thailand21Some families still refuse to marry their daughter if the future husband hasnt ever been a monk.It means that he isnt ripe enough.A boy that becomes a monk for a few months is making a really good action towards his parents.In a bus,seats in the back are reserved to monks.If a woman is sitting there,she should leave because a woman cannot touch a monk.第21页BackgroundGenreBWTREssay based on an
