Thais are arguably world champions at faking it till they make it (your cash in their account) Only with super dumb farangs. Thais are easy to read.

In the west they think you are creepy if at woman and gay if at man. The west isnt a friendly place anymore. It's a different world.

I don't see a good reason to do it with random strangers. a smile at random strangers will insinuate a kinky or nutcase job possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that is your experience - 1 hour ago, fredwiggy said: you can not always tell what someone is thinking Agree - nobody is right 100% and sorry if that was implied anywhere... but you should be able to read the intentions of a smile more often than not...

Don Chance Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) If you smile at people you don't know too much it can mean you are a narcissist trying to love bomb them. Edited August 3, 2023 by Don Chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe smile and try to be nice would be the right thing to do? Russians don't care about your smile. They're very pragmatic people and they know your smile won't solve their problems.

thailandsgreat Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Could it be that the strange smiling beings that the honorable members here do not understand, have found peace in life, temporarily or for longer time. Maybe you should ask the Buddha? Or are they just smiling to irritate Pita since neolibs build on adversity and anger ???? Except for phoney smiles maybe every smiling person has his/her own reason to smile? Maybe they are just on a good roll in life, for the time being. Smiling at a girl in crazy town Pattaya can hardly be misinterpreted, at least not by much. Edited August 3, 2023 by thailandsgreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I acknowledge that I don't know enough to interpret it most of the time so I can't answer your question. But fake it is not. It's telling you something if you are able to read the signal.

Yim thak thaai: The “polite” smile for someone you barely know. Yim cheun chom: The “I admire you” smile. Fuen Yim: The stiff smile, also known as the “I should laugh at the joke though it’s not funny” Smile. Yim mee lessanai: The smile which masks something wicked in your mind. Yim yaw: The teasing, or “I told you so” smile. Yim yae-yae: The “I know things look pretty bad but there’s no point in crying over spilt milk” smile. Yim sao: The sad smile. Yim haeng: The dry smile, also known as the “I know I owe you the money but I don’t have it” smile. Yim thak thaan: The “I disagree with you” smile, also known as the “You can go ahead and propose it but your idea’s no good” smile. Yim cheua-cheuan: The “I am the winner” smile, the smile given to a losing competitor. Yim soo: “smiling in the face of an impossible struggle” smile. I assume 'yim' means smile, but I stand happy to be corrected. Edited August 4, 2023 by BusyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
