peter991 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Thai people generally welcome tourists and make allowances for us. The main grizzles I have found are: * Burping after a meal * Passing gas (Is it true Thai people don't fart?) * Farangs who do not shower enough. * Farangs who fail to show respect for their culture Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.s Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 insinuating something they said or did was stupid, even lightly in passing. it is ok to tell someone they are fat or ugly, but stupid is an insult. much the opposite to western culture where you can call somone anidiot but you cant tell them they are fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Using the phrase Khon ban Kwai! (you are a buffalo) will start a lively discussion.

Being brought up in farting environment, two brothers, no sister, and my dad famous for multi-octave anal arias; I was quite surprised that I had married in to another farting culture. Really I would have been happy to lose that bit of heritage. I must say however the Thais don't seem to have as much creativity, the act I guess is enough.
