I've been veggie since I was 12. There's vege sushi, of course (rice and seaweed?) but I've never tried it.

A quick search reveals the exaxctitude of your statistic, but also reveals that the main industry is tourism:
Capital: Bangkok
King: Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX)
Prime Minister: Thaksin Shinawatra
Government: constitutional monarchy
Time zone: GMT +7
Area: 517000
Population: 65000000
People: 75% Thai, 11% Chinese, 3.5% Malay; also Mon, Khmer, Phuan and Karen minorities
Languages: Thai is a complicated language with its own unique alphabet, but it's fun to try at least a few words. The main complication with Thai is that it is tonal: the same word could be pronounced with a rising, falling, high, low or level tone and could theoretically have five meanings!
95% Buddhist, 4% Muslim
Currency: Baht (Bht)
GDP: Approx. Bht480000000000
Major industries: Tourism, computers, garments, integrated circuits, gems, jewellery
Major Trading Partners: Japan, China, ASEAN, USA, European Union
Daylight Saving: From not in use to not in use
Country Dialing Code: 66
Tourism shouldn't be called an 'industry' in my opinion. Industry is industry, tourism isn't.
I can't remember the name of the person doing the sermon at the Overcomer right now, but he's a regular. He's OK.
