  The thermal model of particle production is used to analyze the particle
ratios and the p_T spectra measured recently at RHIC. Our fit of the particle
ratios yields the temperature at the chemical freeze-out T_chem = 165 +- 7 MeV
with the corresponding baryon chemical potential mu^B_chem = 41 +- 5 MeV. The
quality of the fit shows that the model works well for RHIC. The p_T spectra
are evaluated in an approach which takes into account the modifications of the
initial thermal distributions by the secondary decays of resonances. All two-
and three-body decays are included. This leads to an effective ``cooling'' of
the spectra in the data region by about 35-40 MeV. We find that the pion
spectrum is characterized by the inverse slope which agrees well with the value
inferred from the RHIC data.
