	National Anthem: The music of the Thai national anthem was composed in 1932 by Professor Phra Jenduriyang and its lyrics were written in 1939 by Colonel Luang Saranuprabhandi. "Thailand is the unity of Thai blood and body. The whole country belongs to the Thai people, maintaining thus far for the Thai. All Thais intend to unite together. Thais love peace but do not fear to fight. They will never let anyone threaten their independence. They will sacrifice every drop of their blood to contribute to the nation, will serve their country with pride and prestige full of victory. CHAI YO. [Cheers].
