Some of you guys need to get out more. You walk around a tiny part of the capital and then speak of ALL Thais. Bizarre. In other news, I was recently walking around the Rommani Park/Giant Swing area and was struck with how happy everyone seemed.  Perhaps I was wrong, some of you ‘learned’ miserable lot would haven seen it differently. But why live in a place if you don’t care for the people and it makes you so unhappy ?

 

Having spent a lot of time around Thais in all parts of the country and having been to many countries, I’d go along with this. The family and friends thing is a big deal, they don’t get caught up in our manmade religions and they generally don’t get overly serious. But I think a main factor for Thais being generally happy is that they don’t tend to overthink, or get entangled in thought so much. Some donkey will make a quip about that. Whatever. 

Nope, I agree with you .......

If you ask a Thai their plans for the future they'll probably start thinking ....... what's for dinner?

I once asked my Thai girlfriend how far she planned in advance, and she got up and looked in the fridge, then said, "no problem, we've got plenty"
