Ramadan in Thailand 2007
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calandar. This year it falls approx. on Sept. 13 to Oct. 11 (depending on the sighting of the crecent moon.) It is a deeply felt spiritual time for Muslims where they fast (abstain from both food and water) and refrain from sexual contact during daylight hours. Muslims also practice self restraint in their behavior by not swearing, smoking and arguing. Please remember when traveling in southern Thailand that many of the people that you meet will be fasting at this time. Show your multicultural awareness and compassion by being considerate of this special time for Muslims.
