Well, we can think of it on a scale from bad to good, like this:
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Most Thais are neutral 0.
Smiley and neutral, minding their own business. A little self-centred
They may not commit bad acts, but they are not keen on good acts either.
They are just neutral, which is fine, but many farang act like they are they are the nicest people in the world.
But it's just smiles. There's little substance.
