In Malaysia, Muslims: If you are a non-muslim, and if you marry a Muslim girl/guy, you must be converted into Muslim according to Malaysian Islamic Law (only in Malaysia) and your name must add a Muslim name. Christian: If you want to be a Christian, just goto a church and ask that u want to be saved, and you will have to read the Sinners prayer, and do baptising (at a later stage) once you are ready to take up a new life as a Christian Now what about non-thais,wanting to be Thai? I only understand that majourity of the Thais are practicing Buddhistme, which we have Buddhistme here in Malaysia too (majourity is Chinese) but I feel the Buddhistme here is different than what the Thais practice.Just my 2 sens. (but I have yet to hear Chinese Buddhistme temples here chanting and ringing bells in the morning, maybe I am unaware of it)

Hello, I'm curious if any Thais have even thought of the situation that's happening in the Tsunami hit areas. Shortly after the tsunami, the Thai government decided not to accept financial assistance saying they can handle it. Yet money and aid has not been sent to many places. At this point in time, you have to wonder if it ever will. Now religion has entered the picture. Largely it is christian churches. These people are building houses and promising free education to those who "convert" to their religion. But not helping anyone else. Just wondering if you Thais have ever thought about the effects of this.
