But isn't that the same as any other country
- seatbelts equal the number of insured passengers (generally 2/3 in the rear and then front passenger and driver). We want them to be insured and complaints have been previously that they are not being professional - we can't really have our cake and eat it. Charging for bags is perhaps a little out-of-order though. -
"When in Rome"... people make mistakes, nothing bad happened and because of this the Thai would have thought it a personal attack from the American. If the opposite had happened and the American had been at fault and put his hands together and said ka toot kap the Thai very most likely would have given the same "polite" gesture and moved on. When in a country that has a "polite particle" in their language for both male and female, even if you are in the right a display of anger is considered very impolite.
I not sure I follow this argument - So, to be angry is 'not Thainess' and is very rude, but to stab someone multiple times is consider both 'Thainess' and an acceptable response to someone raising their voice...I wondered if the Butcher put his hands together afterwards and said 'ka toot kap' (using the correct 'polite particle').
Can't have it both ways - to be passive and accepting one cannot then turn the table and stab/mame or anything else. Be fair!
