If the Thais are not number one on the list of the happiest people in the world, then at least they are very near the summit, partly due to the attitude in adversity, is stoic in the extreme. , Almost no one in Thailand to unload their problems and miseries of you, because it is considered a tax, they smile and laugh at their misfortunes in place. In a memorable interview of a tsunami survivor who had lost most of her family in the tragedy which has shocked the Western public by saying I could not ruin the day to see, was recognized as one of his children were saved and hoped that viewers had a happy new year.
This attitude makes a refreshing change for Westerners who are accustomed to complaining about their countrymen to respect – the time and the government are the favorites in the United Kingdom, the British, but we feel no obligation to adhere to these basic issues, and are also capable of complaints about everything under the sun like a perfect pair of shoes state, which, despite its appearance can be described as "I've only had two weeks and the laces are already underway.
The glass is always half empty in the West, but is still half full in Thailand. In fact, the glasses in Thailand does not allow gaps, because they are almost always full of smiling people before reached this state. If you ever start to feel that the Thai people think of you as a simple walking ATM, try to hitch somewhere you do not need to worry of an inch and a few minutes or seconds that a person ceases to smile and offered a free trip to wherever he goes, often goes its best for you. Although this behavior is common in the West, when the hitchhiker is beautiful and feminine, this writer expected to have to walk all the way from Land's End in Britain John'o'Groats not even smile, much less offer a lift. Yes, in a country whose tourism industry is higher, you are a walking ATM, but is not "only" a walking ATM.
Thailand is a country of contradictions. Vice President of the country's industry is infamous, but not is well known is that the vast majority of Thai women are very respectable people with morals are closer to those in Victoria instead of England and today many do not drink, smoke or even drink tea or coffee. Another contradiction is that in a country devoted primarily to a pacifist religion (x) is the national sport boxing (x). Many Westerners Thai men are very good at hitting people, but it is tough out the hard way. Not the United Kingdom, where the thugs Mindless someone sticks a rubber for fun: In Thailand, if a Westerner is attacked, almost always caused. Thailand has at least its fair share of economic crime, but lacks much of the barbarism that disaffection many people in the West, they grow.
In this complex of most nations, genders mix. The Kingdom has the highest proportion of transsexuals in the world, all million of them. There is much credit to the Thais who were well accepted as members of a society that discrimination is noted that the preference for television actors who have a strange white parent, and skin as white: telenovelas Dallas appear here, but with almond eyes and players.
Another contradiction is the contrast between the very good ways of exhibitions around the world and mockery often ruthless physical appearance of people. If you're of a certain age and girth, wait to be called old and fat for all those with whom they make friends. It's really disconcerting: I remember the introduction of a new Swedish girlfriend Thai friend of mine, who immediately said, before his "oh, very nice, but big bum."
In Thailand, Good manners are expected at any time. For example, if you find a problem with a builder who has built a wall in the wrong place is completely useless anger. What you can do is laugh at human incompetence, but in a Jokey and, above all, with a smile on his face. Offer to pay their hospital expenses psychiatrist who tries to suggest the glasses, which provides the translation of a manual to promote it, be as sarcastic as you wish, but keep a smile.
