According to Chang, (2016), Business Process Management (BPM) is a systematic approach of attaining organization’s goals by improving its management in addition to controlling the essential business processes. Moreover, a business process is defined as a set of activities that aid in accomplishing definite organizational goals.

It is due to poor infrastructure management, which is significant for maintaining and optimizing an organization’s equipment along with core operations.

The topic that I will be discussing is Thai culture. In this, it will include areas that influence this culture. First, I will give you the geographical information of the country of Thailand. The second area that I will look at will be language. Language is an extremely important part of culture and some say that one cannot be found without the other. After that I will inform you about customs, traditions and taboos in Thai culture. This is a very important part of culture and is what shows the differences between cultures. Then I briefly tell you about the government and some national symbols, such as the flag, the symbol, colors, anthem, dress, and national day. Next, I will explain about religion in Thailand.

One other thing that I will include in this paper is a link to a page with pictures from my trip to Thailand.
