Is it true that saying thank you to a close friend or family yeilds negative feelings?

Like giving you Marmite instead of Vegemite.

 

Solly na.

I'm astounded the skin on the drum you keep beating has not broken yet. Your arms must be getting tired.

I thought our repartee, was just a bit of light hearted fun.

 

Although at times, your posts did, &  do come across as somewhat a little too acerbic, I gave you the benefit of doubt.

 

Never mind.

No problem for me, I was just thinking the joke was getting a bit stale from repetition. Stay well.

This is a very good and poignant op, though missed by most going by 'likes' and feedback. Granted, one would need to be quite close to Thais and be able to speak a bit to pick it up. Don't think wives, kids counts. In my observations, formalities are indeed forgone/diluted and language is routinely shortened to boot, albeit with no loss of politeness. At that point of acceptedness (?), to then afford a formal reply in whatever scenario would possibly have the other party (or you) in an awkward/challenged-almost spot. Where family is concerned (all classes) and with all important face/power in mind - aside from parent-kid relationship - it is indeed moot and alive in Thailand.

Well done.
