Thais appreciate any attempt at humor by their guests including silliness.

I'm not funny, but I'm silly, so it makes it easy to lighten the atmosphere and be friendly with them. One of the best things about Thailand in my opinion.

Along with food & fortune, Thai's I've met seem very centred on health issues.

They're far more pedantic about pointing out my flilthy habit is mai dee, then I've encountered ANYWHERE.

If Thai stats should manage to mirror Queenslands since smoking in pubs was banned a year ago, then a similar plan in Thailand is an overwhelming win-win.

I can't help thinking that it's only the rural poor that will miss the positive message that public space smoking bans deliver, which is a shame when they are the least likely to have appropriate health services delivered affordably into the future.

Perhaps the most rapid way to educate this demographic is to run an educational TV and Radio media blitz in conjunction with a compulsory School based programme promoted by a cross section of respected Thai icons.
