Most Thai men blow their stacks after 2 seconds so no worries.....short fuses are the reason they cannot have a real argument

and many Thai women begin to spin the conversation in a different direction within 1 second.  Typically a normal conversation occurs between two (or more) individuals.  The fact of face saving can turn the conversation sideways very quickly with one unintended word.

And who is it who makes/teaches Thai males to think, believe, act in the way they do?

Thai women - Mothers. 

 

Not just the women. The men too. They are an overly entitled gender here in the LOS. Boys from an early age are told they are special.

 

What parents need to start doing is to tell their sons:

 

1. You are nothing special. You become special when you prove yourself to be a worth person. An exemplary character. A cut above the rest. Someone who gives and does not just take.

2. Your sister is special. She works hard, she is ambitious, and she is not lazy. Prove yourself to be at least equal to her. Women run this country.

3. Respect is not freely given. It must be earned. Go out into the world and earn respect.
