There are mosquito's, cockroaches, snakes and so on.....i'm very happy with our european kitchen. How can you define the greatness of a kitchen by comparing outfits like Isaan kitchen with european kitchen regarding the facts of mosquitos, cockroaches and snake? I always thought that what you get into your house had to do with what the nature offers in combination with how soild the roof, ceiling and outer walls were built. Glad you are happy, but based on that comment you just cemented that they are probably far more intelligent than we previosly could imagine.

I would say I've learnt from Buddhism. Christianity always taught me to do what was right and moral, no matter what, epic fail. Buddhism has taught me to take the middle path, not care too much about anything or anyone, and it really works. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felt 35 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 It can be they are smarter than us???? I don't personally like to hear anyone in my near circles described as smart because I then have a tendency to stiffen up and be careful. However I don't know how smart is defined / analyzed in other countries but where I come from and when I grow up smart was an indication that the person could be a deceiver and half criminal. Now if you say better at school, work, and be wise then its another story???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the theistic religions tend to look down on it as a refuge for damaged people.

Bassosa Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Uhm...the fact that Thailand has a lot of females in top management position says nothing about their intelligence. Probably has more to do with women's position in Thai society. Not to insult you, but I'm not sure Thai women compare well with the rest of the world in terms of intelligence.
