The worse muppets are the muppets who call others muppets for expressing their opinions on a country that sorry is not perfect, in fact has major problems. Si from one muppet, to another muppet.... grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I like using the wai since I do not have to physically touch someone who could be contagious with a cold or something worse. Just call me cautious. I also wear a mask to keep the air pollution out of my lungs on a bad air day in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Next on the agenda of intangible cultural woo: smiles (as in "Land of Smiles") In my experience, however, there are as many types of smiles in Thailand as there are eskimo words for snow.... my fave is the one that sends message "If you don't stop this line of insane Western whatever, I am going to run amuk and chop you up" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
